Full node	~200 GB and growing	8–16 GB	Business $20 / Storage 1 TB $30
Node + wallet RPC	same + wallet	16 GB comfy	Business

Ports: 18080 P2P (open), 18089 restricted RPC if you serve. Sync from scratch on NVMe takes hours; pruned keeps the box small forever.

Host ranking for Monero nodes

#	Host	Why	KYC
1	NovaVPS	XMR-native billing, NVMe, unmetered, node-friendly AUP	None

3	FlokiNET	Privacy posture, 4 locations	None
4	1984 Hosting	Iceland, small specs	None

Privacy note worth stating

Running a public Monero node is a community service — it strengthens the network’s decentralization. Pairing it with an XMR-paid, no-KYC VPS means the node’s existence and its operator stay unlinked, which is exactly the property Monero exists to protect.

Recommended setup

Plan: Plus — 4 vCPU, 8 GB ECC, 120 GB NVMe, $13.50/mo (pruned full-validation). Full archival → Storage 1 ($30/mo, 1 TB). Location: Bucharest — no mandatory retention, solid EU transit. Playbook: Monero node on NovaVPS.

Monero-node VPS from $13.50/mo — pay in XMR.

Can wallets connect to my node?

Yes — expose restricted RPC 18089 with TLS, or keep it private over WireGuard.

Does a node need a public IP?

For P2P yes — every NovaVPS server has a dedicated IPv4.

Pruned vs full for privacy?

Both verify fully; pruning only limits serving old chain data.
