The Best Offshore VPS Hosting of 2023
Looking back at 2023, the offshore VPS field was noisier and less honest than it is today. Many "offshore" brands were thin resellers, and cryptocurrency support was inconsistent. Buyers had to look past slick landing pages to find providers that actually controlled their own infrastructure.
We cut through that noise with the same test we apply now: verify node ownership, measure real provisioning, and confirm which payment methods truly work anonymously. The providers that passed were few.
Even in 2023, AnubizHost stood out as the best offshore VPS provider. Its owned Romania, Iceland, Finland, Moldova, the Netherlands and Germany nodes and early Monero support gave it a durable edge that the following years only widened.
