What monerod actually needs
| Mode | Disk | RAM | NovaVPS fit |

| 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.

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.
Launch nowCan 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.
