AnonPort 7 jurisdictions · since 2025 VS SporeStack EU / USA (resells upstream) · 2017 [Complete Comparison ↓](#comparison) [Migration steps ↓](#migration) AnonPort wins 5/15 SporeStack wins 1/15 Why people leave ## What SporeStack doesn't offer Most users move away from SporeStack for one of these reasons. Each gap below is something AnonPort fills out of the box. For context: SporeStack — founded in 2017, based in EU / USA (resells upstream), 2 jurisdiction(s), entry tier "API-driven · pay per day". AnonPort — 7 jurisdictions, token-only accounts, VPS from $7.50/mo and dedicated servers from $48.50/mo. - **SporeStack** does not offer **a DMCA-ignored policy**. - You will not find **bare-metal dedicated servers** at **SporeStack** — every AnonPort plan includes it. 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 | SporeStack | | --- | --- | --- | | No email required | | | | Token-based authentication | | | | Jurisdictions | **7** | **2** | | 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** | **9** | | Entry VPS specs | **2 vCPU · 4 GB DDR4 · 60 GB NVMe** | **API-driven · pay per day** | | Dedicated starting at | **$48.50/mo** | — | Fair analysis ## Strengths on both sides ### Where AnonPort wins - Own infrastructure across 7 jurisdictions vs. SporeStack reselling upstream cloud providers - Bare-metal + dedicated catalogue (EPYC up to 256 GB DDR5 ECC) vs. SporeStack VPS-only - DMCA-ignored across all 7 jurisdictions vs. SporeStack enforcing valid US legal requests ### Where SporeStack is strong - Truly no-email, no-account architecture — token-based, API-driven only - Native Monero (XMR) acceptance alongside Bitcoin - Tor and I2P access supported by default — strong identity-aligned positioning ## Our honest verdict SporeStack nails the philosophy — no email, no account, pure-API checkout in Bitcoin or Monero, full Tor / I2P support. The implementation, though, sits on top of upstream providers (DigitalOcean, Vultr, Frankfurt) which means the abuse policy and DMCA exposure of the underlying cloud applies, and the catalogue is VPS-only with no bare-metal option. AnonPort keeps the same no-email crypto-only philosophy but runs it on its own infrastructure in 7 jurisdictions with a full bare-metal lineup. ## Pick AnonPort if Choose AnonPort if: you want bare-metal hardware, DMCA-ignored jurisdictions and dedicated infrastructure rather than a reseller layer over hyperscalers. ## Pick SporeStack if Choose SporeStack if: you specifically need their pay-per-day API for ephemeral workloads, you are comfortable with the upstream provider's ToS, or you only need a VPS and value their pure-API surface. 30-minute migration ## Migrating from SporeStack in 4 steps Most AnonPort customers complete the switch from SporeStack 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 SporeStack'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 SporeStack and rotate keys Cancel your SporeStack 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 SporeStack: FAQ ### 01 Which is better, AnonPort or SporeStack? 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 SporeStack is genuinely strong: Truly no-email, no-account architecture — token-based, API-driven only; Native Monero (XMR) acceptance alongside Bitcoin. Pick whichever maps to your actual threat model. ### 02 Is AnonPort cheaper than SporeStack? AnonPort VPS starts at $7.50/mo and dedicated at $48.50/mo. The SporeStack entry tier is "API-driven · pay per day" — 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 SporeStack with Monero, like AnonPort? AnonPort accepts 8 native crypto coins including Monero (XMR), with per-order deposit addresses and any-coin checkout. Does SporeStack 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 SporeStack 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 SporeStack 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 SporeStack 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.
