An alternative to SporeStack
An API-first, no-account VPS service where you pay Bitcoin or Monero per day and receive a server with no registration at all.
Answer
If you have already decided to leave SporeStack, Incognito VPS is a viable replacement for no-identity VPS hosting. Incognito VPS operates in 16 locations, 8 chosen for legal properties, with token-only accounts and twelve-coin crypto settlement, from $4.00 per month. SporeStack’s pay-per-day model remains the purest anonymous hosting, but Incognito VPS gives you more locations and legal diversity.
What they do better
SporeStack’s pay-per-day model with no account whatsoever is the purest expression of anonymous hosting in existence, and their CLI is a genuine pleasure to use. If you want a server for six hours and no relationship, use them.

§03 Switching over
Moving from SporeStack
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.
