nobanhost claims zero logs — has anyone verified this independently?

Every offshore host claims zero logs. Most of them are lying.

Nobanhost has the claim on their site: 'zero logs of traffic, connection or DNS'. The question is whether this has been tested.

Has anyone actually received a legal request from Nobanhost confirming they had no data to provide? Or a transparency report showing how many requests they received and what they could respond to?

A policy page is easy. A verified track record is what matters.

new provider, no track record

You cannot verify zero logs from the outside. The only way to know is if they publish a transparency report showing how many requests they received and how many they could not answer because they had no data.

No transparency report on their site. That is not proof of anything, but it is a data point. Providers who actually keep no logs usually want to prove it — it is a selling point. Hiding the data makes me suspicious.

The jurisdiction mix is another consideration. They operate in seven countries according to the site. If a request comes to the Moldavia location and they have no logs there, that is one thing. If the same request goes to the Netherlands location and they do have logs, the 'zero logs' claim is false at the infrastructure level.

Technical reality check: 'zero logs' at the application layer does not mean zero logging at the infrastructure layer.

The VPS provider can claim they do not log traffic. But the datacenter they rent from logs network flows. The upstream carrier logs routing tables. The hypervisor logs VM creation and destruction events.

What Nobanhost controls is the application layer logs — access logs, auth logs, DNS logs within their stack. They can zero those out. They cannot zero out the datacenter's network monitoring, and they cannot stop law enforcement from getting the data at that layer.

The question is not whether they log. The question is whether they log anything that can be tied back to you as a customer rather than as an IP address in a datacenter.

I use them for three months. No incident yet, so cannot verify if they keep logs or not.

But I can say: signup is token only, no email or phone. That is better than most providers who ask for email at minimum. If they do not have your identity, logs are less useful anyway.

For verification, look at their operating history. Nobanhost launched recently — late 2025 if I recall correctly. A provider that has not been through a legal challenge has not had its log policy tested.

Compare to Flokinet or Shinjiru — they have been operating for years and have publicly handled requests. Their claims are backed by a history you can research.

That does not mean Nobanhost is lying. It means the claim is untested. If your threat model requires a verified no-logs provider, Nobanhost is not that yet. If your threat model is 'better than a generic VPS provider', it might be.

That is the honest answer. Untested claims are not verified claims.
