Features

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

The basics come with every plan, not as add-ons.

Forwarded IPv4 ports

Your own block of public ports on our IPv4 address, TCP and UDP. SSH listens on the first one.

A routed /80 of IPv6

Billions of public addresses routed straight to your server. Give every service its own.

Websites on 80 and 443

Point your domain at us and we route HTTP and HTTPS to your server by hostname. Your TLS keys stay with you.

Modern Incus LXC

Unprivileged containers on a current kernel, not old OpenVZ. Boots in seconds with no virtualisation overhead.

Full control panel

Start, stop, restart, reset your root password or reinstall with another OS from the client area.

A clean network

Outbound mail ports are blocked and abuse is acted on fast, so our IP stays off blocklists for everyone.

How it works

From checkout to shell in a minute.

No waiting for someone to set up your server by hand.

Pick a plan and an OS

Choose Debian, Ubuntu, Alpine or AlmaLinux, and pay monthly, every 3 or 6 months, or yearly.

Pay with crypto or PayPal

Pay with PayPal, BTC, ETH, USDT and more. Your server is built the moment the payment confirms.

SSH in

Your login, ports and IPv6 block are shown in the client area. Run ssh root@<host> -p <port>.

Before you order

How your server connects

A NAT VPS shares one IPv4 address with other servers. Here is exactly what reaches yours.

Shared IPv4

Your server has no public IPv4 address of its own. It shares 5.189.155.145 / 5.189.142.51 / 92.242.190.191 with other servers and uses it for outgoing traffic too. Inbound IPv4 only reaches you on your own ports.

Your forwarded ports

Each plan gets a fixed block of ports (3 to 30). Both TCP and UDP are forwarded to the same port number on your server. The first port is SSH. Ports 80 and 443 are shared: link your domain and we route TCP HTTP by hostname and HTTPS by SNI, untouched. HTTP/3 (UDP 443) only works over IPv6.

Routed IPv6

A whole /80 is routed to your server: every address, every port, TCP and UDP, no forwarding. We do not filter it, so set up a firewall on your server (nftables, ufw or firewalld) for anything you do not want public. Visitors need IPv6 to use it.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is natbox.io?

natbox.io is a small, independent NAT VPS host. From $1 a month you get a Linux server with root over SSH, your own block of IPv4 ports and a routed /80 of IPv6, live in under a minute. It suits bots, small websites, personal VPNs and learning Linux. It is run from Kuwait, and the servers are in the EU. More about natbox.

What is a NAT VPS?

A small Linux server that shares one public IPv4 address with other servers. Instead of all 65,535 ports you get your own block of them (3 to 30, depending on the plan), forwarded straight to you. Sharing the IPv4 address is what keeps the price this low. You still get a full /80 of public IPv6 to yourself. More about NAT VPS.

Can I host a website?

Yes. Open your server in the client area, go to the Domains tab and add your domain. Point its A record at our IP, add the TXT record we show you, and press Verify. Ports 80 and 443 for that domain then go straight to your server. HTTPS is passed through untouched, so you run your own certificates (Let's Encrypt works).

Is there a free trial?

Yes. New customers can try a small server (256 MB RAM, 3 GB SSD, 5 ports, a /80 of IPv6) free for one month, one per account. Only a few trial slots run at a time. The trial is not renewed: the server stops when the month is over and is deleted 14 days later, so order a paid plan in time if you want to keep it. Start your free trial.

Which payment methods do you accept?

PayPal (from $1 per payment), crypto through NOWPayments (from about $3) and account credit, which also pays your renewals automatically. Minimums and which plans each one works for.

Do I get my own IPv4 address?

No. The IPv4 address is shared and you get a block of ports on it. Your IPv6 /80 is yours alone, so anything that speaks IPv6 can reach your server on any port.
