What OperaVPS doesn't offer
Most users move away from OperaVPS for one of these reasons. Each gap below is something AnonPort fills out of the box.
For context: OperaVPS — founded in 2018, based in USA / EU / Asia / Dubai / Turkey, 20 jurisdiction(s), entry tier "1 vCPU · 1 GB · 40 GB NVMe". AnonPort — 7 jurisdictions, token-only accounts, VPS from $7.50/mo and dedicated servers from $48.50/mo.
- OperaVPS does not offer email-free signup.
- You will not find token-based authentication at OperaVPS — every AnonPort plan includes it.
- Switching gets you a DMCA-ignored policy, which OperaVPS lacks.
- OperaVPS's lineup does not include bare-metal dedicated servers.

Strengths on both sides
Where AnonPort wins
- Token-only signup vs OperaVPS account form
- Native Monero (not bridged via gateway)
- 7 offshore jurisdictions instead of a US/UAE-heavy footprint
Where OperaVPS is strong
- 20+ datacenter footprint covering NA / EU / Asia / Dubai / Turkey
- Broad crypto roster (BTC / ETH / USDT / XMR / LTC)
- Aggressive entry pricing ($12.59/mo Windows admin RDP)
Our honest verdict
OperaVPS is a mainstream Windows VPS shop: more than 20 datacenters across North America, Europe, Asia, Dubai and Turkey, KVM virtualization, DDoS protection and a broad crypto checkout that includes Monero. Its weak spot is privacy posture — accounts are created with an email form and much of the footprint sits in US and UAE datacenters with ordinary takedown processes. AnonPort trades raw location count for offshore jurisdictions, token-only accounts and bare-metal dedicated servers with custom ISO upload.
Pick AnonPort if
You want an account with no email at all, offshore jurisdictions such as Iceland, Moldova or Panama instead of US datacenters, a DMCA-ignored policy, and the option to move from VPS to bare-metal dedicated hardware later.
Pick OperaVPS if
You need a Windows RDP in a specific mainstream region — the US, Dubai, Turkey or Asia — that AnonPort does not cover, and an email-based account with a privacy-light posture is acceptable for your workload.
Migrating from OperaVPS in 4 steps
Most AnonPort customers complete the switch from OperaVPS 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 OperaVPS'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 OperaVPS and rotate keys
Cancel your OperaVPS 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.
