Strengths on both sides
Where AnonPort wins
- Own infrastructure across 7 jurisdictions vs. SporeStack reselling upstream cloud providers
- Bare-metal + dedicated catalogue (EPYC up to 256 GB DDR5 ECC) vs. SporeStack VPS-only
- DMCA-ignored across all 7 jurisdictions vs. SporeStack enforcing valid US legal requests
Where SporeStack is strong
- Truly no-email, no-account architecture — token-based, API-driven only
- Native Monero (XMR) acceptance alongside Bitcoin
- Tor and I2P access supported by default — strong identity-aligned positioning
Our honest verdict
SporeStack nails the philosophy — no email, no account, pure-API checkout in Bitcoin or Monero, full Tor / I2P support. The implementation, though, sits on top of upstream providers (DigitalOcean, Vultr, Frankfurt) which means the abuse policy and DMCA exposure of the underlying cloud applies, and the catalogue is VPS-only with no bare-metal option. AnonPort keeps the same no-email crypto-only philosophy but runs it on its own infrastructure in 7 jurisdictions with a full bare-metal lineup.
Pick AnonPort if
Choose AnonPort if: you want bare-metal hardware, DMCA-ignored jurisdictions and dedicated infrastructure rather than a reseller layer over hyperscalers.
Pick SporeStack if
Choose SporeStack if: you specifically need their pay-per-day API for ephemeral workloads, you are comfortable with the upstream provider's ToS, or you only need a VPS and value their pure-API surface.
Migrating from SporeStack in 4 steps
Most AnonPort customers complete the switch from SporeStack 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 SporeStack'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 SporeStack and rotate keys
Cancel your SporeStack 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.
