Does anyone have experience with a good privacy-focussed VPS provider? What do you recommend?

I’ve been using 1984 for quite a while and they have been solid but they have just put their prices up. It’s still affordable but I thought it would be a good time to have another look at what else is out there.

    Genuine question for everyone. Are their any VPS providers that are not privately focused?

    I was under the impression data privacy is very important in the data center world. VPS would be included in that.

    However as far as i understand for all of them it is just a policy to not snoop. They could break in and snoop on your data if they really wanted to or were legally forced to do so. You can get around this by encrypting your data on the VPS.

    There are no privacy-focused VPS providers that I’m aware of. You need accounts to operate any based in the US , and the provider is required to provide data stored by customers on request as a matter of law. I’ve not heard of any global providers who do not do the same either though.

      That’s quite a strange category to judge a VPS provider on. That picture is also contains a few red flags (literally)

        The article’s title is putting “free speech VPS providers to the test”, not ranking based off of uptime, support, performance, or price.

    netcup and contabo each have the cheapest VPS option in certain specc constelations.

    Even more so if you can wait until black friday or christmas, since they both regularely offer huge VPS deals.

    I’ve been using Linode (now owned by Akamai) for a couple years now and have enjoyed their pricing / service.

      I’ve been using Linode for a handful of years and Digital Ocean for about 10 years.

      Linode has a muuuuch better interface with way more access, control, and vision over your VPSs.
