Overview
What Cockbox is#
A VPS host with ssh-key-only signup and no email collection, operated by the same team as cock.li.
Threat-model fit#
Best fit when “the host should not know anything except an ssh key” is the requirement.
Strengths
- ssh-key-based signup — no email, no name.
- Strong same-operator continuity with cock.li email.
Caveats
- Small operator with limited support staff.
- Hosting jurisdiction is Romania; the operator is reachable via European legal process.
- Facts need re-verification by operator (last seeded 2026-01).
Verdict
Cockbox is the no-email-no-name VPS. The ssh-key-only signup is the cleanest minimal-data model in the category. Trade-off: small operator, limited support, single-location capacity. Useful for users who specifically want zero account-side metadata.
