Each gap below is something AnonPort fills out of the box. For context: Njalla — founded in 2017, based in Sweden, 1 jurisdiction(s), entry tier "1 slice · LXD container". AnonPort — 7 jurisdictions, token-only accounts, VPS from $7.50/mo and dedicated servers from $48.50/mo. - **Njalla** does not offer **email-free signup**. - You will not find **token-based authentication** at **Njalla** — every AnonPort plan includes it. - Switching gets you **a DMCA-ignored policy**, which **Njalla** lacks. - **Njalla**'s lineup does not include **bare-metal dedicated servers**. - **Njalla** does not offer **custom ISO upload**. Feature by feature ## Complete Comparison Every attribute is verified from public documentation at the time of writing. We will update this page if either side changes its policy. | Feature | AnonPort | Njalla | | --- | --- | --- | | 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 slice · LXD container** | | Dedicated starting at | **$48.50/mo** | — | Fair analysis ## Strengths on both sides ### Where AnonPort wins - Seven datacenter jurisdictions vs. a single Swedish location - Full KVM virtualization with kernel control (vs. LXD containers) - Full dedicated bare-metal catalog with custom ISO upload ### Where Njalla is strong - Strong brand recognition in the privacy community - Accepts Monero (XMR) natively - Iconic domain registration business alongside hosting ## Our honest verdict Njalla pioneered the "no-KYC crypto host" category and still carries the brand weight of that legacy, especially in domain registration. On pure hosting, AnonPort offers a broader jurisdictional spread, real KVM virtualization with dedicated bare-metal options, and a token-only signup that removes even the email field. Both honour the core "no identity required" promise; the choice comes down to ecosystem depth (Njalla) versus infrastructure breadth and virtualization flexibility (AnonPort). ## Pick AnonPort if You want real datacenter presence in multiple countries, own-hardware guarantees, aggressive pricing and a 8-coin crypto checkout that includes Monero. Seven jurisdictions let you pick legal and latency profiles per deployment. ## Pick Njalla if You value a privacy-branded domain+hosting bundle, you want a single-vendor solution that combines registrar and host, or you are a long-time Njalla customer with history on their platform. 30-minute migration ## Migrating from Njalla in 4 steps Most AnonPort customers complete the switch from Njalla 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 Njalla'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 Njalla and rotate keys Cancel your Njalla 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 Njalla: FAQ ### 01 Which is better, AnonPort or Njalla? 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 Njalla is genuinely strong: Strong brand recognition in the privacy community; Accepts Monero (XMR) natively. Pick whichever maps to your actual threat model. ### 02 Is AnonPort cheaper than Njalla? AnonPort VPS starts at $7.50/mo and dedicated at $48.50/mo. The Njalla entry tier is "1 slice · LXD container" — 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 Njalla with Monero, like AnonPort? AnonPort accepts 8 native crypto coins including Monero (XMR), with per-order deposit addresses and any-coin checkout. Does Njalla 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 Njalla 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 Njalla 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 Njalla 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.
