AnonPort 7 jurisdictions · since 2025 VS NiceVPS Dominica · 2018 [Complete Comparison ↓](#comparison) [Migration steps ↓](#migration) AnonPort wins 4/15 NiceVPS wins 1/15 Why people leave ## What NiceVPS doesn't offer Most users move away from NiceVPS for one of these reasons. Each gap below is something AnonPort fills out of the box. For context: NiceVPS — founded in 2018, based in Dominica, 1 jurisdiction(s), entry tier "1 vCPU · 1 GB · NVMe". AnonPort — 7 jurisdictions, token-only accounts, VPS from $7.50/mo and dedicated servers from $48.50/mo. - **NiceVPS** does not offer **email-free signup**. - You will not find **token-based authentication** at **NiceVPS** — every AnonPort plan includes it.

We will update this page if either side changes its policy. | Feature | AnonPort | NiceVPS | | --- | --- | --- | | No email required | | | | Token-based authentication | | | | Jurisdictions | **7** | **1** | | DMCA-ignored policy | | | | Full KVM virtualization | | | | Bare-metal servers | | | | Custom ISO upload | | | | DDoS protection included | | | | Unmetered bandwidth | | — | | IPv6 /64 included | | | | 99.9% SLA with credits | | — | | Monero (XMR) payment | | | | Years in operation | **1** | **8** | | Entry VPS specs | **2 vCPU · 4 GB DDR4 · 60 GB NVMe** | **1 vCPU · 1 GB · NVMe** | | Dedicated starting at | **$48.50/mo** | **€59.99/mo** | Fair analysis ## Strengths on both sides ### Where AnonPort wins - 7 jurisdictions across continents vs. NiceVPS's Dominica-only - Token-only signup with zero personal data — fully removes the identity layer - Modern EPYC + DDR5 dedicated catalogue up to 256 GB ECC vs. NiceVPS's smaller scale ### Where NiceVPS is strong - Dominica jurisdiction — Caribbean offshore, no MLAT with the US - Strong multi-crypto checkout — Bitcoin, Monero and more - Custom ISO upload, Tor access and offshore SMTP relay bundled ## Our honest verdict NiceVPS hits the same notes as AnonPort on philosophy — Dominica jurisdiction, native Monero alongside Bitcoin, custom ISO upload, Tor access and offshore SMTP relay. The differences are scale and architecture: a single jurisdiction instead of seven, standard email signup instead of token-only, and a smaller dedicated catalogue. AnonPort keeps the same no-data philosophy but distributes it across 7 jurisdictions with a full bare-metal lineup up to 256 GB DDR5 ECC. ## Pick AnonPort if Choose AnonPort if: you want token-only signup, multi-jurisdiction redundancy, and a high-end bare-metal catalogue alongside the privacy stack. ## Pick NiceVPS if Choose NiceVPS if: you specifically want Dominica jurisdiction, you need their bundled offshore SMTP relay, or you prefer their multi-crypto checkout as a primary settlement option. 30-minute migration ## Migrating from NiceVPS in 4 steps Most AnonPort customers complete the switch from NiceVPS 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 NiceVPS'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 NiceVPS and rotate keys Cancel your NiceVPS 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 NiceVPS: FAQ ### 01 Which is better, AnonPort or NiceVPS? 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 NiceVPS is genuinely strong: Dominica jurisdiction — Caribbean offshore, no MLAT with the US; Strong multi-crypto checkout — Bitcoin, Monero and more. Pick whichever maps to your actual threat model. ### 02 Is AnonPort cheaper than NiceVPS? AnonPort VPS starts at $7.50/mo and dedicated at $48.50/mo. The NiceVPS entry tier is "1 vCPU · 1 GB · NVMe" — 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 NiceVPS with Monero, like AnonPort? AnonPort accepts 8 native crypto coins including Monero (XMR), with per-order deposit addresses and any-coin checkout. Does NiceVPS take Monero? Yes (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 NiceVPS 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 NiceVPS 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 NiceVPS 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.
