An alternative to Shinjiru
One of the original offshore hosts, operating from Malaysia for over twenty-five years with a broad catalogue.
Answer
For those leaving Shinjiru, Incognito VPS offers hosting without identity verification. We run 16 locations, support token-only accounts and twelve-coin crypto settlement, and start at $4.00 per month. But Shinjiru still has strengths: twenty-seven years of continuous offshore operation is longer than anyone else in this comparison set, and their Asian latency profile is far better than anything we run.

Lower the TTL 48 hours ahead

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