# An alternative to Shinjiru
> 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.
