ServPrivate vs MonoVM — FAQ
01 Which is better, ServPrivate or MonoVM?
It depends on your priority. ServPrivate wins on raw operator privacy (token-only auth, no email, no phone, no name, no fiat), a 7-jurisdiction footprint and AI-agent purchasing (MCP, OpenAPI, x402). Where MonoVM is genuinely strong: 13 years of operations and stable infrastructure; 6-country footprint (USA / UK / NL / DE / FR / CA). Pick whichever maps to your actual threat model.
02 Is ServPrivate cheaper than MonoVM?
ServPrivate VPS starts at $7.50/mo and dedicated at $48.50/mo. The MonoVM entry tier is "1 vCPU · 2 GB · 80 GB" — the comparison table above shows the full pricing picture for both providers. Multi-month cycles unlock additional discounts on both sides.
03 Can I pay MonoVM with Monero, like ServPrivate?
ServPrivate accepts 8 native crypto coins including Monero (XMR), with per-order deposit addresses and any-coin checkout. Does MonoVM take Monero? No (see the feature comparison above for the exact payment rail). Crypto-only operators should always confirm before ordering.
04 How do I migrate from MonoVM to ServPrivate?
Snapshot or `rsync` your existing server to a new ServPrivate VPS in your chosen jurisdiction, restore data, reconfigure DNS, then cancel the MonoVM instance and rotate any exposed keys.
