An alternative to NiceVPS
A small Dominica-based offshore host accepting Monero, aimed squarely at the privacy market.
Answer
If you have decided to move off NiceVPS, Incognito VPS accepts crypto only and requires no identity. Incognito VPS has 16 locations, multiple of them privacy-friendly, with plans from $4.00 per month. That said, NiceVPS's single jurisdiction in Dominica remains a unique advantage for a very specific threat model, and it is worth being honest about.
What they do better
Dominica is a jurisdiction almost nobody covers, and for a specific threat model that Caribbean legal distance is worth more than anything on our map.

§03 Switching over
Moving from NiceVPS
Lower the TTL 48 hours ahead
Drop DNS records to a 300-second TTL two days before the cutover. This is the step everyone skips and everyone regrets.
Cut over and verify
Final rsync, promote the database replica, update DNS. Wait 72 hours and watch the old logs before destroying anything.
