How We Evaluated These Providers
Evaluation criteria: (1) physical server location, not just company registration; (2) stated legal standard for compliance; (3) years of operation; (4) payment anonymity (crypto accepted?); (5) CSAM policy - all evaluated providers must have explicit zero-tolerance policies. Any provider without that was excluded.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does DMCA-ignored mean the provider ignores all legal requests?
No. US DMCA notices have no legal force because servers are outside US jurisdiction. Providers still comply with court orders from their operating jurisdiction and enforce universal CSAM zero-tolerance.
Can I host copyrighted content on DMCA-ignored hosting?
DMCA-ignored means the host will not act on a US copyright notice. Copyright law still exists in Romania and Iceland. This changes who enforces it and how, not whether it applies.
Why is AnubizHost specifically better?
The combination of no-KYC + Monero + EU jurisdiction (Romania) + established operational history is unusual. Most providers offer 2 or 3 of these; AnubizHost offers all four.
