It accepts BTC, ETH and USDT but not Monero, five of its twelve datacenters are in the US, and it makes no offshore or DMCA-ignored promise. AnonPort is the privacy-first option: Monero, token-only accounts and offshore jurisdictions, at the cost of fewer locations. ## Pick AnonPort if You need hosting that stays online through DMCA complaints, you want to pay in Monero, and you would rather have no account email than a large global datacenter map. ## Pick Cloudzy if Latency to a specific US or Asian city matters more than jurisdiction, you want the newest Windows Server images, and a mainstream provider with a strong SLA fits your project. 30-minute migration ## Migrating from Cloudzy in 4 steps Most AnonPort customers complete the switch from Cloudzy 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 Cloudzy'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 Cloudzy and rotate keys Cancel your Cloudzy 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. FAQ ## Switching from Cloudzy: FAQ ### 01 Which is better, AnonPort or Cloudzy? 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 Cloudzy is genuinely strong: 12 datacenter footprint with strong network performance; Latest Windows Server versions (2022/2025) and Win 11. Pick whichever maps to your actual threat model. ### 02 Is AnonPort cheaper than Cloudzy? AnonPort VPS starts at $7.50/mo and dedicated at $48.50/mo. The Cloudzy entry tier is "1 vCPU · 1 GB · 25 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 Cloudzy with Monero, like AnonPort? AnonPort accepts 8 native crypto coins including Monero (XMR), with per-order deposit addresses and any-coin checkout. Does Cloudzy 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 Cloudzy 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 Cloudzy 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 Cloudzy 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.
