Monero node VPS

Your own node means your wallet never asks a stranger's server about your transactions.

No KYC Full root over SSH Free firewall
Get a Monero node VPS from €69.99/mo

A Monero node is a copy of the Monero blockchain that checks every transaction itself, so your wallet can use it instead of a public remote node. Bulletproof.to gives you a KVM VPS with enough NVMe for a pruned chain from €69.99 a month, paid in Monero and without ID.

What it needs

Memory
4 GB RAM or more
Disk
140 GB or more
System
Debian 13
Smallest plan
Carbide, €69.99 / mo

Monero asks for 4 GB of RAM or more. A pruned chain was 105 GiB in October 2026 and grows, so add extra disk as it does. A full node (265 GiB) needs a dedicated server.

Ports to open

PortUsed forOpen to
18080/tcpPeer to peer, other nodes connect hereEveryone
18089/tcpRestricted RPC, only if you share the node with othersEveryone

Set these in the free firewall in the panel, everything else stays closed.

Install your Monero node

  1. 1. Download monerod and compare its SHA-256 with hashes.txt on getmonero.org/downloads

    wget -O monero.tar.bz2 https://downloads.getmonero.org/cli/linux64
    sha256sum monero.tar.bz2
  2. 2. Unpack it and install the daemon

    tar -xjf monero.tar.bz2
    install monero-x86_64-linux-gnu-*/monerod /usr/local/bin/
  3. 3. Write /etc/monero/monerod.conf for a pruned node

    data-dir=/var/lib/monero
    prune-blockchain=1
    p2p-bind-port=18080
    rpc-restricted-bind-ip=0.0.0.0
    rpc-restricted-bind-port=18089
    confirm-external-bind=1
    no-igd=1
  4. 4. Start it and follow the sync

    mkdir -p /var/lib/monero
    monerod --config-file /etc/monero/monerod.conf --detach
    monerod status
  5. 5. For a service that starts at boot, use the systemd unit from the Monero docs

Commands from the official Monero docs, checked in November 2026. The project may change them, so look there if one fails.

Questions about hosting a Monero node

Pruned or full node?

A pruned node still checks every transaction and keeps about a third of the data. It is enough for your own wallet. A full node needs a dedicated server today.

How much disk does a Monero node need?

About 105 GiB pruned and 265 GiB full in October 2026, and both keep growing.

Does my node need open ports?

Port 18080 lets other nodes connect and helps the network. Open 18089 only if you want to share your node, and keep 18081 closed.

Can I mine on it?

These plans are not sized for mining, and CPU mining on a shared host slows the neighbours down.

Do you need my ID or name?

No. You sign up with an account number, no email or ID is required, and you pay with Monero, Bitcoin, USDT or Litecoin.

Do you install it for me?

No, you get a clean server with full root access and install it yourself with the steps on this page. Support helps with the server, not with the app.

Paying for a VPS in Monero, step by step, is on the Monero VPS page.
