Strengths on both sides
Where AnonPort wins
- Seven datacenter jurisdictions vs. a single Swedish location
- Full KVM virtualization with kernel control (vs. LXD containers)
- Full dedicated bare-metal catalog with custom ISO upload
Where Njalla is strong
- Strong brand recognition in the privacy community
- Accepts Monero (XMR) natively
- Iconic domain registration business alongside hosting
Our honest verdict
Njalla pioneered the "no-KYC crypto host" category and still carries the brand weight of that legacy, especially in domain registration. On pure hosting, AnonPort offers a broader jurisdictional spread, real KVM virtualization with dedicated bare-metal options, and a token-only signup that removes even the email field. Both honour the core "no identity required" promise; the choice comes down to ecosystem depth (Njalla) versus infrastructure breadth and virtualization flexibility (AnonPort).
Pick AnonPort if
You want real datacenter presence in multiple countries, own-hardware guarantees, aggressive pricing and a 8-coin crypto checkout that includes Monero. Seven jurisdictions let you pick legal and latency profiles per deployment.
Pick Njalla if
You value a privacy-branded domain+hosting bundle, you want a single-vendor solution that combines registrar and host, or you are a long-time Njalla customer with history on their platform.
Migrating from Njalla in 4 steps
Most AnonPort customers complete the switch from Njalla in under 30 minutes. Snapshot, transfer, restore, cancel — you keep the IP-free move clean and reversible.
-
1
Snapshot your existing server
Take a full disk snapshot from Njalla's panel (or rsync your data partition). Note your current IP, DNS records, and any reverse-DNS or PTR entries you depend on.
-
2
Order an equivalent AnonPort plan
Pick a jurisdiction (use our jurisdiction selector if unsure), pick the matching VPS or dedicated tier, and pay in crypto. Your token arrives in seconds; the server is provisioned within 5 minutes.
-
3
Restore data and reconfigure DNS
Either upload your snapshot via custom ISO, or rsync over SSH from the old box. Update A/AAAA records to the new IP. If you run a Tor or VPN service, regenerate the keys to break correlation with the old host.
-
4
Cancel Njalla and rotate keys
Cancel your Njalla billing once the new server has been live for 24 hours. Rotate any SSH keys, API tokens or service-bound credentials so the old box can't replay anything.
