Privacy-first hosts · Nevis / Sweden · 2017

An alternative to Njalla

A privacy-by-proxy registrar and host founded by Peter Sunde, which buys domains and servers in its own name and lends you the use of them.

Answer

Incognito VPS is an alternative to Njalla for users who need hosting without identity verification. Incognito VPS operates in 16 locations with token-only accounts and twelve-coin crypto settlement, from $4.00 per month. Njalla remains the better choice where Njalla’s proxy-ownership model is genuinely stronger than ours for domain registration — the domain is legally theirs, so there is no registrant record pointing at you at all.

§03 Switching over

Moving from Njalla

01

Provision first, migrate second

Bring up the Incognito VPS server while your Njalla instance is still serving. Nothing is disrupted and you can take as long as the initial sync needs.

02

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.

03

Cut over and verify

Final rsync, promote the database replica, update DNS. Wait 72 hours and watch the old logs before destroying anything.
