We track 22 hosting providers that compete in the offshore, offshore, no-KYC and DMCA-ignored space — from icons like Njalla, FlokiNET and 1984 Hosting, through bare-metal heavyweights like Hetzner and OVH, all the way to API-only outliers like SporeStack. The cards below show base country, year founded, and the privacy-relevant features each provider ships out of the box. Use the filters to narrow by jurisdiction, by bare-metal availability, by Monero acceptance, or by DMCA stance. Click any card to open the full switching guide for that provider, including a feature-gap breakdown and a step-by-step migration plan that gets you onto a new server in under thirty minutes. Checkout on ServPrivate is any-coin, settling in XMR — no fiat, no card, no email.

FAQ

About this directory

Why are these providers listed?

They are the most-searched competitors and adjacent vendors in the offshore-hosting, offshore-hosting and DMCA-ignored-hosting categories. Some (Njalla, FlokiNET, 1984 Hosting, Incognet, NiceVPS, SporeStack) are direct privacy-first competitors. Others (Hetzner, OVH, AWS, DigitalOcean, Vultr) are mainstream clouds we list as contrast points so you can see what privacy features mainstream pricing trades away.

Are these affiliate links?

No. The card links go to our internal switching guide for each provider, not to the provider itself. We do not earn referral commissions from any vendor on this page. The pages exist as a neutral resource for users actively comparing options.

How are the providers ranked?

They are not ranked. The grid is unordered — first-mover icons sit alongside newer entrants and mainstream clouds. Use the filters to surface the subset that matches your criteria (e.g. DMCA-ignored AND accepts Monero AND based in Iceland). For an opinionated head-to-head, open any individual switching guide and see the feature-by-feature breakdown there.

Can I suggest a provider that is missing?

Yes. Send the provider name, public website and a one-line description through our contact page. We add candidates that have a real privacy proposition (no-KYC, crypto billing, offshore jurisdiction, or a documented DMCA stance) and skip resellers, dropshippers and shell brands.

Already know who you want to leave?

Open any provider above to see the 30-minute migration plan, the feature gaps, and the cost comparison. Checkout takes any coin and settles in XMR — no email, no card, no ID.
