The Best Offshore Alternative to Cherry Servers
AnonPort is built for users who want more jurisdictions, true no-KYC signup, token-based authentication, and a contractual SLA — features Cherry Servers doesn't offer.
What Cherry Servers doesn't offer
Most users move away from Cherry Servers for one of these reasons. Each gap below is something AnonPort fills out of the box.
For context: Cherry Servers — founded in 2001, based in Lithuania (UAB Cherry Servers, Siauliai), 7 jurisdiction(s), entry tier "Cloud VPS 1 Gen2: 1 vCore, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD, 1 TB traffic — from €3/mo (~$3.24)". AnonPort — 7 jurisdictions, token-only accounts, VPS from $7.50/mo and dedicated servers from $48.50/mo.
- Cherry Servers does not offer email-free signup.
- You will not find token-based authentication at Cherry Servers — every AnonPort plan includes it.
- Switching gets you a DMCA-ignored policy, which Cherry Servers lacks.
- Cherry Servers's lineup does not include unmetered bandwidth.

Strengths on both sides
Where AnonPort wins
- AnonPort accepts Monero (XMR) natively — Cherry Servers offers zero privacy-coin support.
- AnonPort requires no personal data at any stage; Cherry Servers' CoinGate integration now collects name + country for every crypto transaction under EU law.
- AnonPort ignores DMCA takedowns by design; Cherry Servers enforces them within 24 hours and may block IPs or ports for repeat incidents.
Where Cherry Servers is strong
- True bare-metal cloud with average 12-minute provisioning, full root access, custom ISO via IP KVM console, and API-first management
- Bitcoin and 15+ other cryptocurrencies accepted via CoinGate/BVNK; no identity document required when paying by crypto (card payments trigger iDenfy ID check)
- 99.97% SLA uptime, built-in DDoS scrubbing at no extra cost, and 100 Gbps+ Tier-1 connectivity across 7 DC locations in EU, US, and Asia
Our honest verdict
Cherry Servers occupies a sweet spot between hyperscale cloud and classic dedicated hosting: transparent bare-metal pricing, fast provisioning, and genuine Bitcoin payment support make it popular with Web3 developers. For privacy hosting purposes, however, the picture is less clean. Since early 2025 the EU Travel Rule requires Cherry Servers' payment processor CoinGate to collect name and country for every crypto transaction — a meaningful soft-KYC layer even on BTC purchases. Monero is outright absent. Most critically, Cherry Servers is an EU entity that actively processes DMCA notices with a 24-hour enforcement window; Lithuanian law and EU directives give rights-holders real leverage. AnonPort is the obvious alternative for DMCA-ignored operations, Monero payments, and anonymous onboarding without government-regulated payment intermediaries.
Pick AnonPort if
Operators who need DMCA-ignored hosting, Monero payment, or genuine no-KYC anonymous onboarding should choose AnonPort — Cherry Servers' EU base and EU Travel Rule compliance close those doors.
Pick Cherry Servers if
Cherry Servers is a strong choice for blockchain and Web3 developers who want fast bare-metal, Bitcoin payment acceptance, and don't need DMCA protection or Monero.
Migrating from Cherry Servers in 4 steps
Most AnonPort customers complete the switch from Cherry Servers in under 30 minutes. Snapshot, transfer, restore, cancel — you keep the IP-free move clean and reversible.
-
1
Snapshot your existing server
Take a full disk snapshot from Cherry Servers's panel (or rsync your data partition). Note your current IP, DNS records, and any reverse-DNS or PTR entries you depend on.
-
2
Order an equivalent AnonPort plan
Pick a jurisdiction (use our jurisdiction selector if unsure), pick the matching VPS or dedicated tier, and pay in crypto. Your token arrives in seconds; the server is provisioned within 5 minutes.
-
3
Restore data and reconfigure DNS
Either upload your snapshot via custom ISO, or rsync over SSH from the old box. Update A/AAAA records to the new IP. If you run a Tor or VPN service, regenerate the keys to break correlation with the old host.
-
4
Cancel Cherry Servers and rotate keys
Cancel your Cherry Servers billing once the new server has been live for 24 hours. Rotate any SSH keys, API tokens or service-bound credentials so the old box can't replay anything.
Switching from Cherry Servers: FAQ
01 Which is better, AnonPort or Cherry Servers?
It depends on your priority. AnonPort 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 Cherry Servers is genuinely strong: True bare-metal cloud with average 12-minute provisioning, full root access, custom ISO via IP KVM console, and API-first management; Bitcoin and 15+ other cryptocurrencies accepted via CoinGate/BVNK; no identity document required when paying by crypto (card payments trigger iDenfy ID check). Pick whichever maps to your actual threat model.
02 Is AnonPort cheaper than Cherry Servers?
AnonPort VPS starts at $7.50/mo and dedicated at $48.50/mo. The Cherry Servers entry tier is "Cloud VPS 1 Gen2: 1 vCore, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD, 1 TB traffic — from €3/mo (~$3.24)" — 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 Cherry Servers with Monero, like AnonPort?
AnonPort accepts 8 native crypto coins including Monero (XMR), with per-order deposit addresses and any-coin checkout. Does Cherry Servers take Monero? No (see the feature comparison above for the exact payment rail). Crypto-only operators should always confirm before ordering.
04 How long does the switch from Cherry Servers take?
For a single VPS with under 50 GB of data, expect 20–30 minutes including DNS propagation. Larger workloads scale linearly with disk transfer speed; rsync over SSH typically saturates the destination link.
05 Will my IP address change?
Yes. Inbound IP-bound services (DNS A/AAAA, SPF, reverse DNS, mail relays) need updating. We document the exact records to change in your panel after order. Outbound services keep working with no client-side change.
06 Can I keep my Cherry Servers server running during the switch?
Yes — and we recommend it. Keep the old box on for 24–48 hours after the new one goes live so DNS caches drain naturally. Cancel only once you've verified the new server is serving production traffic correctly.
07 Do I need to re-verify identity?
No. AnonPort does not collect identity at any step. Your account is bound to a token, not a name or email. If Cherry Servers required ID, we discard that link the moment you sign up with us.
08 What about subdomain SSL certificates?
Issue fresh certificates via Let's Encrypt or your CA of choice once DNS points to the new server. Most automated stacks (Caddy, Traefik, certbot) handle this in one command. Old certificates remain valid until expiry; rotate at your pace.
