# Veil Onion

> Publish an onion service from a Swiss hosting environment. Veil pairs listed CPU, memory and SSD resources with stack choices, onion-address allowances and optional backup retention for legitimate private publishing.

SwissOctet public catalogue. Currency: USD. Location: Switzerland / CH. The fixed-address crypto checkout uses a public USD rate to calculate the exact amount for the selected asset and network, with a 25-minute payment window. This browser quote is not a server-issued invoice. Transaction attribution, payment confirmation and provisioning require the operator’s backend.

A hosting configuration built around onion services, with capacity adapted to your project.

## Starting configuration
Starting configuration: Veil Onion 01 (veil-01); USD 27.54 effective monthly base on the shortest available 1-month term; USD 27.54 base charge for that term. Add-ons and applicable tax are separate.

| Starting-plan specification | Listed value |
| --- | --- |
| Onion Address | 1 |
| CPU Cores | 2 |
| RAM | 2GB |
| Storage | 30GB SSD |
| Traffic | Unlimited |
| Databases | Unlimited |

## Service capabilities
### Onion services as the destination
Compare the onion-address allowance in each plan and select additional generated addresses if your project needs separate services.

### Choose the application stack
The configurator includes Nginx, Apache and Node.js stack choices. Select the environment that matches your site's software and deployment method.

### Resources behind the service
CPU, RAM and SSD capacity remain visible in the plan table. Onion routing does not remove the need to size the application and its data.

### A deliberate retention choice
Daily backup options have distinct retention periods. Consider site data, database contents and service-key handling as part of your recovery plan.

## Example workloads
### Privacy-minded publications
Offer an onion access point for a lawful publication whose readers benefit from an alternative connection path.

### Project and community sites
Run a legitimate community or research site with an application stack appropriate to its audience and data.

### Alternative service access
Prepare an onion version of your own service while keeping application security and publishing controls consistent.

## A closer look
### Choose the stack before the plan size
An application expecting a PHP web stack has different requirements from a Node.js service. Review the stack selector, then compare the CPU, memory and storage needed for the application and its databases. The number of onion addresses is a separate allowance, not a measure of application performance.

### Private access still needs secure publishing
Review what the application reveals through pages, uploads, error messages and embedded resources. Protect administrator access and avoid exposing configuration files or credentials. Onion hosting provides a connection method; it does not establish that an application is secure or that an operator is anonymous.

### Keep a recovery plan for the whole service
Your content, database and onion-service identity may all matter when restoring a site. Define what must be backed up and who can access the copies before relying on a retention option. Veil is intended for lawful publishing and private services; fraud, abuse and harmful content remain outside its intended use.

### Design a Tor-only publishing path deliberately
Plan access through the onion address and avoid exposing the application through an unintended public interface. Check embedded resources, callbacks and outgoing connections that could reveal infrastructure details. Panel choice, PHP support, mail access and service-key handover need operator confirmation. A separate public website can share content through a planned publishing process without assuming Veil supplies a clearnet endpoint.

## Configurations and billing
Base prices exclude separately selected add-ons. The actual configuration total, availability, delivery, licences and any applicable tax are confirmed before a real order.

## Service questions
### How do visitors access an onion address?
Visitors need software capable of connecting to onion services. Provide clear access instructions for your audience and test your service through a compatible connection.

### Can I choose Apache, Nginx or Node.js?
The stack selector lists those environment choices for Veil. Match the selection to the application's requirements rather than choosing on the stack name alone.

### Does onion hosting guarantee anonymity?
No. Application behaviour, access practices, payments and data handling can expose information. The connection method is one part of the privacy design.

### Are additional onion addresses included automatically?
Each plan lists its address allowance. Additional generated addresses are an optional configuration choice and appear separately in the summary.

### Does unlimited traffic remove every usage limit?
No. CPU, memory and storage remain defined resources, and acceptable-use requirements still apply. Traffic wording does not make every application or activity suitable.

### Can ordinary browsers reach the same Veil endpoint?
Plan Veil as onion publishing and use a Tor-capable client. Any clearnet counterpart requires a separate reviewed deployment; the onion-address allowance does not include a public-domain endpoint.

### Which management panel and mail tools are included?
The catalogue defines application-stack choices, not a verified aaPanel installation or mail service. Confirm panel access, PHP features, database administration and any Tor-accessible mail workflow before delivery.

### What should I expect for performance and HTTPS?
Tor routing affects latency, so test the application with its intended audience. Review HTTPS and authentication for your design; no streaming rate or protection from every denial-of-service attack is guaranteed.

### How do I migrate and preserve an onion identity?
Plan files, database exports, stack compatibility and service-key custody together. Confirm how keys are delivered and restored, and what a selected backup option covers before replacing an existing service.
