EnglishWhat is CinderCloud and what services does it offer?
Updated
CinderCloud is a privacy-first cloud infrastructure provider that runs its own bare-metal platform on enterprise Dell and HPE hardware in a data center in Wrocław, Poland. It offers Linux VPS, a Virtual Data Center (VDC), OpenStack consulting and training, cloud migration, server management, and industrial on-premise cloud — with onboarding that requires no ID checking or face scanning, and payment accepted in over 200 cryptocurrencies. It suits developers, DevOps teams, startups, sysadmins, and individuals who want sovereign infrastructure without identity verification.

Who it is built for
The VDC is positioned for DevOps, startups, sysadmins, developers, and individuals. The broader product set also targets businesses that want to migrate off self-maintained hardware or build a private cloud. CinderCloud claims migration can cut infrastructure costs by up to 40% and improve performance by up to 20%, though those figures are the provider's own and not independently verified here.
What makes it different
Privacy-first onboarding. No ID checks, face scanning, or intrusive verification. This is the main draw for users who do not want to hand over identity documents to a hosting provider.
Sovereign hardware. CinderCloud runs its own bare-metal platform rather than reselling someone else's cloud. Customer data stays on hardware it controls in Poland, not scattered across public clouds.
Technical neutrality. The provider states it will not arbitrarily take services down due to social or ideological pressure — relevant if you run workloads that could be contentious on mainstream platforms.
Real-time security. Workloads run on a network monitored 24/7 by a dedicated SOC (Security Operations Center).
Crypto payments. Over 200 cryptocurrencies are accepted across all hosting products, including BTC, USDT, ETH, TRX, and XRP.
Practical considerations before choosing
- Jurisdiction: Infrastructure sits in Poland, so EU data protection rules apply. If you need data to stay in a specific country outside the EU, this is a constraint.
- Verification-free signup cuts both ways: it lowers friction for legitimate privacy-focused users, but it also means you should evaluate the provider's reliability and support responsiveness yourself rather than relying on identity checks as a trust signal.
- Crypto payment volatility: paying in crypto means the fiat value of your payment can shift; check whether pricing is locked at order time.
- OpenStack expertise: consulting and training are offered, which suggests the platform is OpenStack-based. If your team lacks OpenStack experience, budget for the learning curve or the training service.
- Prices shown are starting points: the 4.90 EUR and 6.90 EUR figures are entry-level. Actual cost depends on the resources you configure.

For migration, custom cloud builds, or industrial on-premise deployments, the site directs you to contact the company rather than self-serve checkout.
