Why run your own Monero node, and how big it needs to be
A wallet that syncs through a public remote node tells that node’s operator your IP address, when you open the wallet and which transactions you broadcast. With your own node, the only server your wallet talks to is yours, and a VPS makes it reachable from your phone and laptop wherever you are, over the restricted RPC port, an SSH tunnel or a Tor onion service.
Size it from the Monero documentation’s own figures: about 113 GB for a pruned node and 285 GB for a full one as of October 2026, growing by roughly 10 GB and 20 to 30 GB a year. A pruned node keeps everything your wallet needs and fits on VPS-4 with about three years of growth to spare; a full node fits on VPS-8 today with little headroom, and on VPS-16 for years. The docs recommend at least 4 GB of RAM, which every plan here exceeds.
The disk type matters more than its size. Monero’s LMDB database does many small random reads, and monerod itself warns that a blockchain on a rotating drive “will be very slow”. That is why this page lists Standard plans with NVMe rather than our Storage line of hard disks. Bandwidth is generous on all of them, and monerod lets you cap its upload if you open the node to the public. Our step-by-step guide covers the setup.
What people run on a Monero node VPS
- A private remote nodeFeather, Cake Wallet, Monerujo and the GUI wallet sync from your server instead of a stranger’s.
- A public nodeAdvertise the restricted RPC so other wallets can use your node, with a cap on upload.
- Merchant back endsShops and payment processors that watch for incoming XMR with their own view-only wallet and node.
- Explorers and servicesBlock explorers and payment watchers that need a node they control.
- Tor onion accessReach the node over an onion address from anywhere, without opening its RPC to the internet.
- DevelopmentStagenet and testnet nodes to test integrations before they touch mainnet.

Monero node hosting questions, answered
How much disk does a Monero node need?
As of October 2026 the Monero documentation gives 265 GiB for a full node and 105 GiB for a pruned one, about 285 GB and 113 GB. The full chain grows by roughly 20 to 30 GB a year, a pruned one by about 10 GB. VPS-4 (160 GB of NVMe) fits a pruned node with about three years of growth, VPS-8 (320 GB) fits a full node today with little headroom, and VPS-16 (640 GB) holds one for years.
Pruned or full: which should I run?
Pruned, for almost everyone. Pruning saves about two thirds of the disk space without degrading what your wallets can do, and the node still verifies everything; it just serves less history to other nodes. Enable it from the first sync; converting an existing full node later needs room for both copies for a while. Run a full node if you want to serve the complete history to the network.
How long does the first sync take?
It depends mostly on the disk, then on CPU and peers. Monero publishes no official figure; on NVMe the first sync is far faster than on hard disks, which monerod itself warns are very slow. Once synced, keeping up needs little.
Can I mine Monero on the VPS?
No. Mining is not allowed on VPS and RDP plans, where it slows down other customers on the same host. It is allowed on dedicated and GPU servers, where you have the whole machine; P2Pool can follow your own node there.
Is it safe to open my node to my wallets?
Yes, if you expose only the restricted RPC port, which answers wallet requests and refuses administrative commands. Restrict it to your own IP addresses with the firewall, or reach it through SSH, WireGuard or a Tor onion service and open nothing.
Can I pay for the node in Monero?
Yes. Every deposit gets a fresh subaddress and is credited after 10 confirmations, about 20 minutes. The account is an e-mail address and a password; nothing links the payment to a name.
