Which one costs less for the same server?
Gloamport costs less at every size Njalla sells, on every Gloamport term. Njalla prices its six plans in flat €15 steps, one core, 1.5 GB of RAM and 15 GB of disk per step. Gloamport prices each plan against a named reference plan from its survey of 38 no-KYC hosts.
Take a typical small server for a WireGuard VPN and a few services. At Njalla, the plan with at least 2 GB of RAM is VPS 30 at €30 a month. At Gloamport, Dusk gives 2 GB and 40 GB of NVMe for $10.50 a month on 3 months, or $5.25 a month when paid for a year. The gap widens with size: Njalla's top plan stops at 6 vCPU and 9 GB, while Gloamport goes on to Halo, Nebula and Zenith (32 vCPU, 64 GB).
One limit applies on the Gloamport side: Ember and Dusk are sold for 3 months at least, so the smallest Gloamport order is $22.44 for 3 months. Njalla lets you rent its smallest plan for a single month. The full price rule is on How much does a Gloamport VPS cost?.
What do Gloamport and Njalla ask for at sign-up?
Neither host asks for a name, a postal address, a phone number or an identity document; the difference is the login. Njalla's sign-up form asks for an email address or an XMPP address, plus a password. Gloamport creates a random account number on the spot and treats an email address as optional.
That difference matters if you have no throwaway address you are willing to tie to a server. An XMPP account is still an identifier on a server somebody runs. A Gloamport account number identifies nothing outside the account. Write the account number down somewhere safe: it is the one key to the account. With an email on file, a forgotten number can be sent to that address; without one, nobody at Gloamport can bring it back.
Gloamport counted 6 hosts of 42 that let you sign up without a required email on 10 November 2026, and Njalla is one of them. The list is on Can I get a VPS without an email address?.
How do payments differ between Gloamport and Njalla?
Both hosts take Monero; Njalla adds PayPal, Gloamport adds stablecoins and Solana. Njalla's FAQ lists Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero, Ethereum and PayPal. Gloamport takes BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR, from a prepaid balance with a $25 minimum top-up.
With Monero, the public chain shows neither sender nor amount at either host. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number. That holds at any host that keeps an account, Njalla included. Gloamport's steps for paying in XMR, with the 10 confirmations and the transaction ID, are on [How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?](/buy-vps-with-monero/ "How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?").
When should you pick Njalla instead?

- Njalla publishes its own .onion address; Gloamport has none. Gloamport counted 10 hosts with one in its survey.
- Njalla accepts PayPal; Gloamport takes crypto only.
- Njalla's plans rise one core at a time from 1 to 6 vCPU, a finer ladder in that range than Gloamport's 1, 1, 2, 4 and 8.
- Njalla rents VPS 15 for one month at €15; Gloamport's two smallest plans start at 3 months.
