An alternative to PRQ
The Swedish host founded by the people behind The Pirate Bay, famous for hosting what nobody else would.
Answer
For those who have already decided to leave PRQ, Incognito VPS provides hosting without identity verification across 16 locations, with token-only accounts and twelve-coin crypto settlement via gateway, from $4.00 per month. PRQ’s history is the reason this entire market segment exists, but if you need broader jurisdictional coverage, Incognito VPS is a direct alternative.

§03 Switching over
Moving from PRQ
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.
