Privacy tools for hosting

[Derty]

Hey friends, I’ve been reading more about online privacy and how much data gets exposed through hosting providers. I’m curious if there are practical tools or setups people here use to keep their hosting environments more private. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Hi, privacy in hosting is something I value a lot, especially as data collection keeps growing. One useful approach is choosing providers that support anonymous payment methods and offshore jurisdictions. For example, Chile VPS https://exservers.net/vps-chile gave me a secure base to build on. ExServers also allows payments in crypto, which adds another protective layer against unnecessary data exposure. Beyond that, I use additional privacy tools like encrypted email for account management, VPNs when accessing the server, and firewalls configured to reduce attack surfaces. The combination of offshore hosting with these extra tools creates a much safer environment overall. It’s not just about hiding your identity, but about ensuring your data and operations stay confidential against prying eyes.
