How does a Lacquerbay order work, from crypto payment to SSH?

How do I open an account?

There is no signup form to fill in. An account number is your whole login; an email address is optional. You never choose a user name, and no step asks for a name, an address or a phone number. That is less common than it sounds: of the 31 hosts selling VPS in these cities that Lacquerbay checked on 2 November 2026, 18 take crypto with no ID at signup, and several of those still write down when they ask anyway (which Asia VPS hosts ask no ID, and when).

The account number is the only key to your account, so keep it somewhere safe. An email on file lets you recover it; without one, a lost number cannot be restored. Nobody from our team will ever ask for your account number, your root password or your private SSH key, by email or in a chat.

Who builds the VPS, and when is it ready?

A person on the team builds every VPS; nothing is created by a script the moment you pay. A person on the team builds each VPS by hand once your payment is confirmed, within 24 hours; the dashboard shows its progress, then the IP address. At checkout you pick the plan, the rental length, the city and the Linux system: Debian 13, Debian 12, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, AlmaLinux 10, Rocky Linux 10.

Your VPS runs in a data centre inside the city you choose, on IP addresses registered to that territory (HK, SG or JP in the regional registry whois). The paid time starts when the VPS is ready, not when you pay.

Do I need an SSH key?

No, but a key is the safer way in. Root over SSH is yours. Paste a public key at checkout and password login stays switched off; leave the field empty and the team sets a temporary root password, shown in your dashboard, which you replace with passwd at first login.

With a key, log in with ssh root@YOUR_VPS_IP from the machine that holds the private key. Without one, the temporary password is shown masked in your dashboard; log in with the same command, then run passwd and, ideally, add a key and switch password login off. Nobody at Lacquerbay ever needs your private key.

What can I do from the dashboard?

Reboots, reinstalls and deletions are requested in the dashboard and carried out by a person; a reinstall wipes the disk. The dashboard also shows the IP addresses of each VPS, its city, its next renewal date and price, and lets you change the rental length of the next renewal.

vCPU are shared: your virtual cores run on physical cores that other VPS on the same host also use. The memory and the NVMe space of your plan are set aside for your VPS alone.

What happens when the rental ends?

Each VPS is prepaid from your crypto balance for one, three, six or twelve months, the length you pick at checkout. Auto-renew charges the balance again for the same length at the price you ordered at, unless you set a different length for the next renewal in the dashboard. When the balance falls short, the VPS stops at the end of its paid time; its disk is held for 7 days and then erased.

Credit on your balance does not expire and renews any of your VPS. When a top-up is only made to reach the minimum, the unspent part comes back on request within 30 days of payment, in USDT or USDC. The rest of a balance is not paid out unless the law requires it. The refund policy lists the cases in which days come back to your balance.

What does Lacquerbay keep about me?

Only what billing and running the VPS need: the account number, an optional email, each top-up and order, and the settings of each VPS. The full list, with how long each record is kept, is in the privacy policy.

We do not log connections, traffic or the IP addresses of visitors and customers, on the website, in the dashboard or on the VPS.

No KYC does not make you invisible: each payment stays on a public blockchain, our records tie your account number to your orders and VPS addresses, and the data centre network carries your VPS traffic.

Which law applies, and how are abuse reports handled?

Lacquerbay is operated by DomaineGoat LLC, a company formed in Panama, and Panamanian law is the only law the company answers to. Each data centre sits under the law of its own territory: Hong Kong, Singapore or Japan.

DMCA notices and other foreign copyright complaints are not acted on: only Panamanian law and the orders of Panamanian courts bind us. Tor relays may run on any VPS: exit relays as well as middle relays and bridges.

Spam, phishing, malware, attacks and child sexual abuse material stay forbidden on every VPS, and a VPS used for them is suspended. Reports go to [email protected]; the acceptable use policy and the terms of service give the details.

What does Lacquerbay not do?

• No instant setup: a person builds each VPS, within 24 hours.
• No backups: Backups are not part of any plan: keep your own copies of whatever you cannot afford to lose.
• No outgoing port 25: Outbound SMTP on port 25 is blocked on every VPS and is not opened on request; send mail through a provider on port 465 or 587.
• No DDoS promise: No DDoS mitigation is promised beyond what the data centre network filters by default.
• No China-optimised routes: We do not sell China-optimised routes such as CN2 GIA or CMI: every VPS leaves on ordinary international transit.
• No free trial: There is no free trial: the smallest plan, Ink, is $5.35 for one month, or $3.75 a month on a 12-month term.
• No uptime percentage: we publish none. If a VPS stops and support cannot bring it back, the days lost are credited.
