This is both a review and a petition to the XMR community.

Here’s an overview with some of the pros and cons of 8 VPS hosts: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/vps/

7 of the 8 accept Monero. Only ones personally used by the author were evaluated.

The 8th is Shinjiru and could maybe be convinced into it if they felt there was enough demand to do so. This is Shinjiru’s email below, they offer low prices, good customer service, and have good censorship policies, but only accept fiat or Bitcoin/Ethereum. They’re Malaysian but offer servers all over. Most companies that aren’t US or EU charge more. The general rule is the less developed the area, the MORE expensive the servers because of the infrastructure.

If you’re looking for a neutral country that wants business bad enough to not harass you, while having good enough infrastructure for speed. Then Malaysia is a good choice in my opinion. When you compare them against the 7 other choices on that list, you'll see the point. Especially if you want no KYC crypto, no-US no-EU, unblocked email ports that are kept off spam lists and offer domains too.

I want you to send them 1 polite email kindly asking them to accept Monero:

support@247livesupport.biz

Do not spam them or harass them, then they’ll look down on us. Just send 1 sincere message that you’d love to buy service if they offer Monero and your reasons. Then please upvote this so we get more people involved.

The point was the equation between cost and privacy. Considering that you shouldn't really trust any provider and should be utilising as much of encryption as possible, this doesn't look to be much of a reason
