ExtraVM accepts more coins.
Over fifty cryptocurrencies, including long-tail and meme coins. If paying with Dogecoin, XRP or Bitcoin Cash specifically matters to you, ExtraVM has the option and NordBastion may not.

Both KYC-free with crypto. One has been doing it across eight global regions since 2014; the other concentrates four Nordic constitutional bastions and refuses identity unconditionally. Here is what differs, factually.

Over fifty cryptocurrencies, including long-tail and meme coins. If paying with Dogecoin, XRP or Bitcoin Cash specifically matters to you, ExtraVM has the option and NordBastion may not.
Twelve years of continuous crypto-paid VPS operation. NordBastion is comparatively new — founded in 2024. If unbroken operating time is your primary trust signal, theirs is longer than ours.
Half of ExtraVM's regions sit inside US legal reach. NordBastion runs only Sweden, Finland, Norway and Iceland — every server under constitutional press-freedom statute.
ExtraVM has been accepting cryptocurrency for over a decade and accepts more cryptocurrencies than any provider in this peer group — over fifty coins, ranging from Bitcoin to Dogecoin to Ripple. Their eight-region global footprint is large for a privacy-friendly host, their support is 24/7 US-based, and their entry pricing is competitive. For customers who want the broadest possible crypto payment surface area and a long track record, they are a sensible choice.
NordBastion does not optimise for that. We optimise for jurisdictional coherence — four Nordic constitutional press-freedom regimes on every server, no exceptions — and for product depth on dedicated bare-metal, which is barely competing for ExtraVM's attention. The twelve-coin basket is narrower than fifty by design: we accept what we believe customers actually use, and refuse what we think is more risk than benefit to settle.
Pick ExtraVM if a fifty-coin payment surface or a twelve-year operating history is your priority. Pick NordBastion if Nordic constitutional jurisdiction, a published warrant canary, and a real dedicated bare-metal product line are.
The questions visitors actually ask when choosing between ExtraVM and NordBastion.
ExtraVM is a crypto-paid VPS provider operating since 2014. They run servers in eight global regions — Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, Secaucus (New Jersey), Amsterdam, Singapore, Tokyo and Sydney — and accept over fifty cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero, USDT, USDC, Dogecoin, Ripple and Bitcoin Cash. Identity verification is not required when paying with cryptocurrency.
At the entry tier, slightly — ExtraVM lists plans starting at $4.50/month. NordBastion's entry Sentinel is $5.90/month for 2 vCPU and 4 GB of RAM. ExtraVM does not list entry-tier specs prominently on the crypto-VPS page; once specs are compared like-for-like, the price-per-spec calculation typically narrows or reverses.
ExtraVM, by a wide margin — they advertise more than fifty cryptocurrencies. NordBastion accepts twelve. If accepting niche or long-tail coins is your priority, ExtraVM has the broader basket.
ExtraVM. They have been accepting cryptocurrency since 2014, which makes them one of the older crypto-paid VPS providers on the internet. NordBastion was founded in 2024 and is comparatively young; track record is one of the few axes where ExtraVM has a clear lead.
ExtraVM runs eight regions on three continents — heavily US-weighted (four of the eight are US) plus Amsterdam, Singapore, Tokyo and Sydney. NordBastion runs four Nordic regions only — Stockholm, Helsinki, Oslo and Reykjavík — every one of them inside a constitutional press-freedom regime.
Different shape. ExtraVM's privacy pitch rests on crypto-only signup, irreversible transactions, no chargebacks and a broad coin basket. NordBastion's privacy pitch rests on jurisdictional placement — constitutional press-freedom law on every server, source-protection statute, a published warrant canary. ExtraVM's US-heavy footprint means most of their servers sit inside US legal reach; NordBastion's do not.
NordBastion does — five tiers from $99/month to $1,099/month, fully automated. ExtraVM focuses on VPS with their main page; dedicated bare-metal in the classical full-cabinet sense is not their headline crypto-VPS offer.
Pick ExtraVM if your priority is the broadest possible cryptocurrency basket, a US-heavy global footprint, or a long crypto-acceptance track record dating back to 2014. Pick NordBastion if your priority is Nordic constitutional jurisdiction on every server, a published warrant canary on a tight cadence, and a fully-automated dedicated bare-metal path.
