Strengths on both sides
Where AnonPort wins
- AnonPort ignores DMCA notices by design — Time4VPS suspends and terminates accounts that refuse to remove flagged content.
- AnonPort provides active DDoS mitigation — Time4VPS simply null-routes attacked IPs, taking your service fully offline.
- AnonPort accepts Monero for true payment anonymity — Time4VPS supports BTC/altcoins only through Coinify, which applies jurisdiction-based restrictions.
Where Time4VPS is strong
- Exceptionally competitive entry pricing (€2.25–€2.48/month) backed by a Tier III certified data center in Vilnius with 100 Gbps connectivity, HP ProLiant hardware, and 99.98% uptime SLA
- Custom ISO upload supported, native IPv6 included on all plans, KVM virtualisation on Linux/Windows plans, and 30-day money-back guarantee — solid technical flexibility for a budget host
- EU/Lithuanian jurisdiction provides GDPR coverage, and crypto (BTC, ETH, LTC and ~25 altcoins) accepted via Coinify — slightly friendlier than US hyperscalers for privacy-leaning operators
Our honest verdict
Time4VPS is the rare budget host that accepts cryptocurrency and operates from EU soil, making it superficially appealing to privacy-oriented buyers. Its Tier III Vilnius data center, 99.98% SLA, KVM virtualisation, custom ISO support, and sub-€3/month entry pricing are genuinely impressive for the price point. However, the privacy promise stops there: Lithuanian law obliges Time4VPS to act on copyright notices (they explicitly confirm this), identity documents may be demanded at any time, Monero is unsupported, and a DDoS attack simply null-routes your IP with no active mitigation. There are also no dedicated or bare-metal options. For an operator who needs truly DMCA-ignored, anonymous hosting with DDoS-resilient infrastructure, Time4VPS falls short on the criteria that matter most.
Pick AnonPort if
AnonPort offers what Time4VPS cannot: genuine DMCA-ignored offshore jurisdiction, Monero acceptance, no-KYC onboarding, and active DDoS mitigation — essential for any operator handling sensitive or high-risk workloads.
Pick Time4VPS if
Time4VPS works for European developers and small businesses needing affordable, GDPR-compliant VPS with straightforward crypto billing for non-controversial workloads that never expect a copyright complaint.
Migrating from Time4VPS in 4 steps

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 Time4VPS and rotate keys
Cancel your Time4VPS 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.

Alternative to Scaleway
France (Iliad group) · Founded 1999Scaleway is France's biggest independent cloud — Iliad-owned, 3 EU regions, unbeatable €1.80/mo entry VPS and real bare metal. However: mandatory photo-ID KYC, card-only payments, and French/EU law enforcement make it a privacy-hostile choice.

Alternative to UpCloud
Finland (Helsinki) · Founded 2011UpCloud is Finland's premium cloud — MaxIOPS NVMe, 99.999% SLA, 15 global regions. But card-only billing, EU jurisdiction with full copyright enforcement, and metered bandwidth make it unsuitable for privacy-focused or high-traffic DMCA-ignored hosting.
