Both KYC-free. One ships LUKS2 disk encryption with a passphrase only you hold; the other ships owned Nordic bastions on every server. Here is what differs, factually.

Servury details reflect publicly listed pricing and policies as of early 2026 and may have changed since.
On owned hardware in Montreal, the disk is encrypted before the server ever boots and the passphrase is yours. Convenient and meaningful. NordBastion expects you to install full-disk encryption yourself — same control, more setup.
Credential-token signup ducks the email lookup entirely. If the email is already a leak in your threat model, Servury closes it. NordBastion still asks for an email today.
Servury's seven regions span US, Canada, EU and Singapore — each with its own legal posture. NordBastion stays inside Nordic constitutional press-freedom regimes on every server, no exceptions.
Servury is built for the customer whose threat model puts the email and the unencrypted disk at the top of the list. Their credential-only signup and packaged LUKS2 close both of those holes at the front door, and the BYOIP / RPKI plumbing on top is the kind of detail very few competitors ship. For that customer, Servury is the appropriate choice today.
NordBastion answers a different question — where does the metal sit and under what law? Four Nordic constitutional press-freedom regimes on every server, twelve cryptocurrencies, more memory and disk per dollar at most tiers, and a fully-automated path to dedicated bare-metal that Servury's DDS workstation tier does not match.
Pick Servury if email-less signup and packaged disk encryption are your hard requirements. Pick NordBastion if Nordic constitutional jurisdiction and bare-metal scale are.
The questions visitors actually ask when choosing between Servury and NordBastion.
Servury is an anonymous VPS and proxy provider that pitches a credential-only signup — no email is required to open an account, just a generated credential token. They operate from seven regions including New York, Montreal, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Singapore, with their Montreal site running owned hardware that ships with LUKS2 full-disk encryption and a user-held passphrase.
At the very entry tier, yes. Servury's O-50 plan is $3.99/month for 2 GB of RAM and 20 GB of NVMe on a Xeon Platinum 8268. NordBastion's Sentinel is $5.90/month for the same 2 vCPU and double the memory (4 GB) and six times the disk (120 GB). Per-spec, NordBastion remains the better deal.
That is a Servury feature, and it is a meaningful one. On their owned-hardware Montreal site, the LUKS2 disk passphrase is held by the customer, not by Servury. NordBastion customers can install LUKS or any other full-disk encryption scheme themselves at OS install time, but it is not a packaged feature — the keys are yours, but it is your job to deploy them.
No. Signup is by a generated credential token, which is closer to SporeStack's accountless model than to NordBastion's email-and-password panel. Both Servury and NordBastion refuse identity documents, phone numbers, legal names and proof of address; Servury also refuses the email.
Seven cities: New York, Montreal, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Singapore. Montreal hosts their owned hardware; the other six sites run on leased hardware. NordBastion runs four owned Nordic bastions only — Stockholm, Helsinki, Oslo and Reykjavík.
NordBastion accepts twelve cryptocurrencies. Servury accepts Monero, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and USDT, plus traditional cards and even cash by mail. The card option is meaningfully convenient for some customers; the crypto basket is wider on NordBastion.
NordBastion does — five tiers from $99/month to $1,099/month, fully automated. Servury's DDS plans run on leased high-spec workstations rather than data-centre bare-metal in the classical sense, and top out at $71.99/month for the DDS-450 (10× i9-14900K, 20 GB DDR5).
Pick Servury if your priorities are credential-only signup, LUKS2 disk encryption with a user-held passphrase on owned hardware, BYOIP / RPKI support, or cash-by-mail payment. Pick NordBastion if you want Nordic constitutional jurisdiction on every server, more memory and disk per dollar at most tiers, twelve cryptocurrencies and a fully-automated path to dedicated bare-metal.
