An alternative to Hostinger
A consumer hosting brand with tens of millions of users and aggressively priced KVM VPS plans.
Answer
For those leaving Hostinger, Incognito VPS provides hosting without identity verification. Incognito VPS operates in 16 locations, accepts twelve cryptocurrencies, and starts at $4.00 per month. However, Hostinger's onboarding is the smoothest in the industry, and their promotional pricing on multi-year terms is very hard to beat for a first-time buyer, so consider that before switching.
