How much does a Ravenquay unmetered server cost?

What hardware is in each berth?

One berth is one physical machine. The number in its name is the core count, except Harbor 10G, which is named for its port.

How much do 6 and 12 months cost?

Three months take 10% off, six months 20% and twelve months 30%, with no setup fee on any term. Take a berth for 30 days, 3 months (91 days, 10% off), 6 months (182 days, 20% off) or 12 months (365 days, 30% off): longer terms cost the 30-day price times 3, 6 or 12, less the discount, rounded down to the cent (Harbor 8: $196.07 for 3 months, $348.57 for 6, $610.00 for 12). A renewal keeps your term and your original price unless you pick another term for the next renewal in the dashboard.

How are Ravenquay prices set?

Each berth sits at least 25% under a named unmetered server from one of 10 hosts that take crypto and ask for no ID. The rule in full: Each berth's 30-day price sits at least 25% under a named reference server (prices read on 30 October 2026): Harbor 8 against Zomro's “Config PL 52 (Intel Xeon E-2288G, 64GB DDR4, 2x960GB NVMe, Poland, Warsaw)” at $96.84 a month; Harbor 16 against AbeloHost's “AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (PL)” at $273.70 a month; Harbor 10G against KoDDoS's “EPYC-9274F-768GB-3.84TB-NVMe-10Gbps” at $475.00 a month. A berth's reference is the dedicated server with unmetered traffic and the smallest monthly price that offers a port at least as fast, at least the same physical cores, memory and SSD or NVMe storage, a CPU from 2018 or later, one IPv4 address, monthly billing and stock shown, among 10 hosts that accept crypto without asking for ID at signup. Setup fees are spread over twelve months; annual-only plans, older CPUs and ID-requiring hosts do not count, nor does AliasVPS, whose listed prices are three to five times lower than any other host and whose delivery could not be verified; euro prices are converted at 1 EUR = 1.1172 USD (ECB, 30 October 2026). We do not claim to be the cheapest at every size: servers sold with a monthly traffic quota, and machines with older CPUs, often cost less.

Metered offers do not count, however cheap. A server with a 10 or 30 TB quota is a different product: once the quota is spent, the port is throttled or billed. The pool and the 10G figures are laid out in How much does 10 Gbps dedicated server hosting cost per month?

What does unmetered mean at Ravenquay?

The rule is one sentence, and it applies to every berth: Unmetered means no monthly traffic quota and no overage bill: the port speed of your plan, 1 or 10 Gbit/s, is the only limit. Each server has one dedicated IPv4 address and an IPv6 /64.

So nothing is counted toward a cap, and no month ends with a traffic invoice. Many hosts price bandwidth another way, by the 95th percentile of five-minute samples. That model is explained in What is 95th percentile bandwidth billing? The rule doesn't open the door to banned uses: Forbidden: spam or bulk email, phishing, malware or botnet command, DDoS or other attacks, scanning or brute-forcing other people’s systems, booter or stresser services, carding or fraud, child sexual abuse material, cryptocurrency mining, and any service to sanctioned people or companies.

How does billing work?

You top up a crypto balance, then each server is paid from it for the term you chose. You prepay each server from a crypto balance for a term of 30 days, 3 months, 6 months or 12 months, chosen at checkout. With auto-renew, the same term is charged again at your original price, unless you choose a different term for the next renewal in the dashboard; if the balance cannot cover it, the server halts when the term ends, its disks are retained for 7 days and then wiped.

There is no setup fee: you pay the price of your chosen term, both when you order and when you renew. The minimum top-up is $25. Credit on your balance does not expire and renews any of your servers. 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. We screen incoming payments against public sanctions lists of blockchain addresses; payments from listed addresses are not credited.

If we cannot deliver a server, or it breaks and support cannot bring it back, the days it was out of service return to your balance. Balances do not expire. Top-ups are not cashed out unless the law requires it; the part paid only to reach the minimum top-up can come back on request within 30 days of payment, in USDT or USDC, provided it has not been spent. The cases are listed on the refund policy.

How long until my server is ready?

Your server is ready 72 hours at the latest after your payment is confirmed. A member of the team sets up your server after your payment is confirmed, within 72 hours, so delivery is not instant; follow its status in the dashboard until the IP address appears.

That is slower than most hosts promise: the median they state is 24 hours, within a range of 30 minutes to 10 business days. Afterwards, Ask for a reboot, a reinstall or a cancellation in the dashboard and the team does it; a reinstall erases every disk.

What is not included in the price?

The price covers the machine, its unmetered port and human support. These are not part of any berth:

• Remote console: Customers get no IPMI or KVM-over-IP console; the team carries out the reboots and reinstalls you ask for in the dashboard.
• Backups: No backup service is included, so store copies of your data elsewhere.
• DDoS filtering: We promise no DDoS mitigation beyond what the datacenter network does on its own.
• Windows: Choose Debian, Ubuntu, AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux, or Proxmox VE to host your own virtual machines. Windows is not available.
• Outgoing mail on port 25: Port 25 is closed for outgoing mail on every server, permanently, to keep spam off the network; ports 465 and 587 toward mail providers stay open.
• Monero and Lightning: not accepted. In Ravenquay's survey of 34 dedicated-server hosts on 30 October 2026, 15 took Monero and 3 took Lightning.
