**Vast.ai is a marketplace: machines belong to third-party hosts, and the cheapest offers are interruptible.** GPU Rent Hub is the opposite model — **dedicated bare-metal servers in its own three US datacenters** (Dallas, Ashburn, Hillsboro), rented by the week or month at a fixed price, paid in crypto with no KYC. An RTX 4090 is $110/week or $390/month; an H100 SXM $475/week or $1,690/month.

## Marketplace vs dedicated

| | GPU Rent Hub | Vast.ai |
|---|---|---|
| Who owns the machine | **GPU Rent Hub, in its own US datacenters** | Third-party hosts listing on the marketplace |
| Interruptions | **None during your term** | Interruptible offers can be outbid; on-demand offers are not |
| Pricing | **Fixed per week / per month, locked for the term** | Per-second, set by each host |
| Networking | **100 Gbps port, 10 Gbps guaranteed, public IPv4 + IPv6 /64** | Depends on the host (often port mapping) |
| Payment | **Crypto: USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, XMR, SOL, LTC** | Check provider |
| Identity | **Username + password, no KYC** | Account |

## Why choose GPU Rent Hub over a marketplace

**Predictability.** Same hardware, same datacenter, same price for the whole term — no host reliability lottery.

**Security.** Local NVMe is LUKS2-encrypted with the key destroyed when the instance is released; there is no workload inspection.

**Real networking.** A public IPv4 per server and a 100 Gbps port — ideal for inference endpoints.

**Crypto and privacy.** No KYC, no card, one crypto payment per order.
