Our honest verdict
Shinjiru has 27 years of offshore experience and good DDoS infrastructure, but signs you up with email + often phone — incompatible with actually anonymous hosting. AnonPort's zero-KYC architecture is a fundamentally different operational model.
Pick AnonPort if
Choose AnonPort if: true zero-KYC matters, or you want crypto-native payment flow.
Pick Shinjiru if
Choose Shinjiru if: you need enterprise-grade DDoS protection proven at scale, and don't mind the KYC.
Migrating from Shinjiru in 4 steps

-
1

Order an equivalent AnonPort plan

-
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 Shinjiru and rotate keys
Cancel your Shinjiru 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.
