The honest verdict

Shinjiru is the heritage brand of offshore hosting — 25+ years, 8 datacenters, real anti-takedown record. But they ask for name and address at signup, which puts them in the KYC-light rather than no-KYC bucket. Pick Shinjiru if you specifically want an Asia-headquartered offshore provider with the longest track record; pick NoKycVPS for true zero-identity signup, XMR support, EU-only jurisdiction options, and the agent API.

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 Shinjiru 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.

  1. Top up your NoKycVPS balance (3-min crypto deposit).
  2. Deploy a clone of your current server: same OS, same plan, 47-second provision.
  3. rsync your data and config across SSH.
  4. Cut DNS to the new IP, watch TTL expire.
  5. Terminate the old instance once you are confident.

Typical sequence: 30–60 minutes per server, less for stateless workloads.
