- Bare-metal and KVM both available
The honest verdict
CrownCloud competes on price and geographic coverage — they match our $5/mo VPS entry and have more datacenter locations. But the standard KYC signup form makes them inappropriate for the no-KYC use case, and US jurisdiction puts them in DMCA reach. Pick CrownCloud if you want budget multi-region with full identity disclosure; pick NoKycVPS if zero-identity signup, EU jurisdictions, XMR support, and the agent API matter.
When to choose what
Pick NoKycVPS if…
- You need a public agent-buyable API. Our /agents endpoint lets autonomous LLM clients sign up, top up balance, and deploy a VPS with five HTTP calls. No competitor in this list offers that today.
- You want Monero (XMR) as a first-class payment rail with confirmation in ~30 seconds, not just Bitcoin.
- You want jurisdiction diversification — four EU offshore regions vs the competitor's one or two — so a legal change in any one country doesn't put your stack at risk.
- You want modern hardware (NVMe Gen5, DDR5 ECC, EPYC/Ryzen) at entry-level pricing, not just at the premium tier.
- You want a domain registrar in the same account as your VPS, with crypto checkout and free WHOIS privacy.

Migration considerations
Switching from CrownCloud to NoKycVPS carries real friction: SSH keys to migrate, domains to re-delegate, services to re-deploy. We do not pretend it is zero-effort. But our docs section covers the standard playbook (rsync server-to-server, cron transition, DNS cutover) — and your NoKycVPS balance can fund the new instance without re-onboarding paperwork.
- Top up your NoKycVPS balance (3-min crypto deposit).
- Deploy a clone of your current server: same OS, same plan, 47-second provision.
- rsync your data and config across SSH.
- Cut DNS to the new IP, watch TTL expire.
- Terminate the old instance once you are confident.
Typical sequence: 30–60 minutes per server, less for stateless workloads.
