Free tier	A dual Xeon E5 machine at 28 cores / 56 threads with 64 GB DDR4, a 1 TB SSD, either 1 G unmetered or 10 G with 100 TB, 5 dedicated IPv4 addresses and a /64, no setup fee, delivered in 24 to 48 hours. The list price is EUR 182.90 a month and a recurring 10 percent coupon brings it to EUR 164.61 on monthly billing. The vendor states 'Email-only signup, no KYC at any stage'. unit hours; metered on wall-clock; kind not stated
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	not applicable
Egress	not stated
Identity	email email only, with no KYC: the vendor states "Email-only signup, no KYC at any stage", so the account costs an address and no identity document. The offer is a forum post by a provider account rather than the vendor's storefront, and the record names no payment rail, no card, no hold and no debit or prepaid answer
Limits	per-ip-shaping The chosen port decides the ceiling: 1 G unmetered, or 10 G capped at 100 TB a month, which is about 8 hours of a 10 G port at line rate. source The chosen port decides the ceiling: 1 G unmetered, or 10 G capped at 100 TB a month, which is about 8 hours of a 10 G port at line rate.

Composes with	This is the only whole machine found whose signup needs nothing but an address, so it is the option that survives when every card-gated provider is unavailable, and its 5 IPv4 addresses are what a crawler with per-address limits needs.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	New record: nothing in dossier/compute covers a no-KYC dedicated host, and identity is the constraint that rules out most, so this is the finding that answers the question the others cannot. The evidence is a vendor post on a third-party forum, dated and signed by a provider account, so the rung is `reported` and not `documented`: the vendor's own storefront was not read. The coupon is a forum code and may expire. Two things a reader should not assume: that email-only signup means no invoice trail (untested), and that a small Swiss operator has the durability of a national host, since defining failure is an operator that disappears.
