The offer
Hetzner-style bare metal, racked in the US
A whole machine, full control and a fixed price, like a Hetzner root server, but in the US and paid in crypto.
Tungsto rents 15 fixed configurations (Ryzen, EPYC, Xeon and two storage servers of 192 TB and 480 TB raw) as whole physical machines. The list price covers an unmetered port (1 Gbps, or 10 Gbps on EPYC), an IPv4 /29, an IPv6 /64, IPMI/KVM access and baseline DDoS protection.
The payoff is a US location at a lower price. Hetzner's US sites sell cloud instances only: matched on memory, a CCX43 with 64 GB lists at $329.49 per month. A whole Tungsto Ryzen 5 3600 with 64 GB lists at $55 per 30 days.
How to read the table. For 64 GB, your first 30 days at Tungsto cost $55 all in, against $176.10 for a first AX42-1 month and $154 for a RISE-S. Hetzner's AX41-1-LTD, the same Ryzen 5 3600 build, costs $67.10 per month while supply lasts, in Europe only. Hetzner and OVHcloud US offer newer Ryzen generations; Tungsto wins on first-term cost and adds a Dallas region. OVHcloud US also lists Canadian datacenters, so check that your RISE model is offered in Vint Hill or Hillsboro.
Why Tungsto
Why choose Tungsto over Hetzner for a US server
Six differences that matter when you want Hetzner's model in a US region.
64 GB for $55 per 30 days
The Ryzen 5 3600 brings 6 cores, 64 GB DDR4 and 2×512 GB NVMe. Hetzner's 64 GB AX42-1 costs $117.10 per month plus $59 setup, in Europe. Your budget buys a whole US machine here.
Ryzen 5 3600 details →No setup fee, IPs included
An IPv4 /29 and an IPv6 /64 are in the price. Hetzner prices exclude IPv4 and add setup fees on standard dedicated servers. Your first term costs the listed price.
Full price list →Crypto that Hetzner will not take
Once deposits open at launch, you fund a USD balance with BTC, ETH, USDT-TRC20, USDC-ERC20, XMR, SOL or LTC, from a $20 minimum and with no Tungsto deposit fee. Hetzner states that it does not accept cryptocurrencies. No card needed.
Crypto payment methods →No email, no ID document
Signup takes a username and a password. Hetzner may ask for a government ID copy or a card prepayment before processing an order; standard Tungsto signup has no field for either.
What no-KYC covers →A 7-day test before you move
Every model also rents for 7 days, from $17: benchmark a US server against your Hetzner machine at a fixed price before you migrate.

Hetzner alternative FAQ
What Hetzner users ask before moving a server to the US.
Does Hetzner have dedicated servers in the USA?
No. Hetzner's documentation says dedicated root servers cannot be ordered in Ashburn, VA or Hillsboro, OR, which run Hetzner Cloud only. Tungsto rents whole bare-metal servers in Dallas, Ashburn and Portland.
Which Tungsto server replaces a Hetzner AX41 or AX42?
The Ryzen 5 3600 matches the AX41: 6 cores, 64 GB DDR4 and 2×512 GB NVMe for $55 per 30 days. For 8 cores like the AX42, the Ryzen 7 5800X costs $71 per 30 days. Neither has a setup fee.
Is Tungsto cheaper than Hetzner?
At list price for 64 GB and 128 GB, yes: $55 per 30 days against $67.10 for Hetzner's limited AX41-1-LTD and $176.10 for a first AX42-1 month with setup, and $135 against $226.10 to $451.10 for a first AX102-1 month (limited or standard offer). Hetzner's smaller storage servers and auction machines can cost less.
Can I pay for a US dedicated server with Monero or USDT?
Yes, once deposits open at launch: XMR and USDT on TRON are two of the seven listed funding assets, alongside BTC, ETH, USDC on Ethereum, SOL and LTC, from a $20 minimum deposit. Hetzner accepts no cryptocurrency.
Will Tungsto ask for my ID the way Hetzner can?
Not at standard signup, which needs only a username and a password. Hetzner may request a government ID copy or a card prepayment before it processes an order.
How long until a Tungsto server is ready?
Your deposit is credited within about a minute once the network confirmations are reached. Once ordering opens, the published target window is 20 to 90 minutes, depending on the model: the hardware is prepared and installed for your order, and that time counts inside your paid term.
Does Tungsto bill by the hour like Hetzner?
No. The shortest term is 7 days, from $17, prepaid: built for jobs that last days or weeks at a fixed price.
Can I order a Tungsto server today?
