Does anyone have experience with a good privacy-focussed VPS provider? What do you recommend?
I’ve been using 1984 for quite a while and they have been solid but they have just put their prices up. It’s still affordable but I thought it would be a good time to have another look at what else is out there.
I would recommend Hetzner. Their prices are pretty good, VPSs are under GDPR and they have servers in Germany, Finland, Singapore and the USA.
The big ones are out of the question for me because they usually don’t accept crypto that freely (plus KYC). Like, one of them, don’t remember which, accepted Bitcoin (which is bad on its own, BTC’s fees are bad for small transactions) - but only if you have a working card first! And I use crypto BECAUSE my card is not functional there!!
Frantech BuyVM won’t bug you about DMCA notices for their Luxembourg servers if you’re a pirate

That’s quite a strange category to judge a VPS provider on. That picture is also contains a few red flags (literally)
netcup and contabo each have the cheapest VPS option in certain specc constelations.
Even more so if you can wait until black friday or christmas, since they both regularely offer huge VPS deals.
Genuine question for everyone. Are their any VPS providers that are not privately focused?
I was under the impression data privacy is very important in the data center world. VPS would be included in that.
However as far as i understand for all of them it is just a policy to not snoop. They could break in and snoop on your data if they really wanted to or were legally forced to do so. You can get around this by encrypting your data on the VPS.
