Self-Hosted Crypto

Blocks tor now, you go to their onion, and every single button and action redirects to clearnet domain...

Unusable without a clean IP.

Strange when they sell TOR nodes and such they would have this poor development on their website.

Have been using different incognet vps'es over the years (Netherlands POP). Reliability is great. I haven't had to use customer service so can't attest to that, but with any provider: make backups and make migration easy for yourself should something happen.

The trap host.

Despite it truly not needing personal data and protecting free speech (as far as I can see), this host has other flaws that make it very much sub-optimal. Namely:

  • Their business model is based on creating more products without supporting the existing ones adequately. Source: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/197450/incognet-and-lack-of-support
  • Their portal is unusable, with moving at snail speed and logging you out every few minutes in addition
  • They basically ignore support tickets, even while saying they get to them in five days maximum. Weeks or months of waiting times are common
  • They don't accept E-mail communication like literally every host out there
  • They call their services "self-managed", meaning you can't really expect them to fix any issues, even ones of their own making (for example, the recent prolonging of migrations by weeks, leaving servers unable to turn on)

The host is a trap because it seems really good at first glance, but it is an illusion. Looking any deeper beyond "wow has free speech and privacy! sign me up!" will reveal it easily. And you will inevitably learn the issues if you use them for long enough. Don't make my mistake. Oh, I almost forgot. Domain transfer is unavailable for some reason, if you make the blunder of using them as a registrar. At least for me. And again, don't expect them to answer your support tickets because you need divine intervention for that to happen.

2 stars because well, you can sign up anonymously and they don't ban for offensive or unconventional content as far as I can see. But that is not enough to redeem them when so many hosts now do the same, without the other flaws.

I've used IncogNet for quite a while, they are privacy friendly. Only their support might be unresponsive some times.
