Our take

Who should pick which

Pick cryptoip.io if

  • you want no account, only an invoice and an order link
  • you want NVMe and unmetered traffic at the low end
  • you need a specific US or EU city, or several
  • you want game servers, VPN, nodes or apps from the same place

Pick Privex if

  • you need a dedicated server with lots of RAM
  • you pay in Hive, HBD or EOS
  • you want Stockholm specifically
  • you value their years in the Hive and Monero communities
Privex has been doing crypto-paid hosting for a long time and deserves credit for it. We built cryptoip.io to remove the account entirely and to run everything on our own unmetered network; if that is what you are after, try a $5 Nano and compare.
