AnonPort 7 jurisdictions · since 2025 VS Time4VPS Lithuania (EU — single DC, Vilnius) · 2012 [Complete Comparison ↓](#comparison) [Migration steps ↓](#migration) AnonPort wins 9/15 Time4VPS wins 1/15 Why people leave ## What Time4VPS doesn't offer Most users move away from Time4VPS for one of these reasons. Each gap below is something AnonPort fills out of the box. For context: Time4VPS — founded in 2012, based in Lithuania (EU — single DC, Vilnius), 1 jurisdiction(s), entry tier "Linux 2 VPS: 1 vCPU (2.6 GHz), 2 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD, 4 TB bandwidth — from €2.48/month promo (renews higher ~€6–7/month). Storage VPS 0.25 TB entry: 1 vCPU, 512 MB RAM, 256 GB HDD, 2 TB BW from €2.25/month.". AnonPort — 7 jurisdictions, token-only accounts, VPS from $7.50/mo and dedicated servers from $48.50/mo. - **Time4VPS** does not offer **email-free signup**. - You will not find **token-based authentication** at **Time4VPS** — every AnonPort plan includes it. - Switching gets you **a DMCA-ignored policy**, which **Time4VPS** lacks. - **Time4VPS**'s lineup does not include **bare-metal dedicated servers**. - **Time4VPS** does not offer **DDoS protection**. 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 | Time4VPS | | --- | --- | --- | | 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** | **14** | | Entry VPS specs | **2 vCPU · 4 GB DDR4 · 60 GB NVMe** | **Linux 2 VPS: 1 vCPU (2.6 GHz), 2 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD, 4 TB bandwidth — from €2.48/month promo (renews higher ~€6–7/month). Storage VPS 0.25 TB entry: 1 vCPU, 512 MB RAM, 256 GB HDD, 2 TB BW from €2.25/month.** | | Dedicated starting at | **$48.50/mo** | **No dedicated or bare-metal servers offered — Time4VPS is a VPS-only provider.** | Fair analysis ## Strengths on both sides ### Where AnonPort wins - AnonPort ignores DMCA notices by design — Time4VPS suspends and terminates accounts that refuse to remove flagged content. - AnonPort provides active DDoS mitigation — Time4VPS simply null-routes attacked IPs, taking your service fully offline. - AnonPort accepts Monero for true payment anonymity — Time4VPS supports BTC/altcoins only through Coinify, which applies jurisdiction-based restrictions. ### Where Time4VPS is strong - Exceptionally competitive entry pricing (€2.25–€2.48/month) backed by a Tier III certified data center in Vilnius with 100 Gbps connectivity, HP ProLiant hardware, and 99.98% uptime SLA - Custom ISO upload supported, native IPv6 included on all plans, KVM virtualisation on Linux/Windows plans, and 30-day money-back guarantee — solid technical flexibility for a budget host - EU/Lithuanian jurisdiction provides GDPR coverage, and crypto (BTC, ETH, LTC and ~25 altcoins) accepted via Coinify — slightly friendlier than US hyperscalers for privacy-leaning operators ## Our honest verdict Time4VPS is the rare budget host that accepts cryptocurrency and operates from EU soil, making it superficially appealing to privacy-oriented buyers. Its Tier III Vilnius data center, 99.98% SLA, KVM virtualisation, custom ISO support, and sub-€3/month entry pricing are genuinely impressive for the price point. However, the privacy promise stops there: Lithuanian law obliges Time4VPS to act on copyright notices (they explicitly confirm this), identity documents may be demanded at any time, Monero is unsupported, and a DDoS attack simply null-routes your IP with no active mitigation. There are also no dedicated or bare-metal options. For an operator who needs truly DMCA-ignored, anonymous hosting with DDoS-resilient infrastructure, Time4VPS falls short on the criteria that matter most. ## Pick AnonPort if AnonPort offers what Time4VPS cannot: genuine DMCA-ignored offshore jurisdiction, Monero acceptance, no-KYC onboarding, and active DDoS mitigation — essential for any operator handling sensitive or high-risk workloads. ## Pick Time4VPS if Time4VPS works for European developers and small businesses needing affordable, GDPR-compliant VPS with straightforward crypto billing for non-controversial workloads that never expect a copyright complaint. 30-minute migration ## Migrating from Time4VPS in 4 steps Most AnonPort customers complete the switch from Time4VPS 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 Time4VPS'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 Time4VPS and rotate keys Cancel your Time4VPS 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 Time4VPS: FAQ ### 01 Which is better, AnonPort or Time4VPS? 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 Time4VPS is genuinely strong: Exceptionally competitive entry pricing (€2.25–€2.48/month) backed by a Tier III certified data center in Vilnius with 100 Gbps connectivity, HP ProLiant hardware, and 99.98% uptime SLA; Custom ISO upload supported, native IPv6 included on all plans, KVM virtualisation on Linux/Windows plans, and 30-day money-back guarantee — solid technical flexibility for a budget host. Pick whichever maps to your actual threat model. ### 02 Is AnonPort cheaper than Time4VPS? AnonPort VPS starts at $7.50/mo and dedicated at $48.50/mo. The Time4VPS entry tier is "Linux 2 VPS: 1 vCPU (2.6 GHz), 2 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD, 4 TB bandwidth — from €2.48/month promo (renews higher ~€6–7/month). Storage VPS 0.25 TB entry: 1 vCPU, 512 MB RAM, 256 GB HDD, 2 TB BW from €2.25/month." — 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 Time4VPS with Monero, like AnonPort? AnonPort accepts 8 native crypto coins including Monero (XMR), with per-order deposit addresses and any-coin checkout. Does Time4VPS 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 Time4VPS 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 Time4VPS 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 Time4VPS 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.
