You could try https://privacy.com https://privacy.com but ironically I doubt it'll help much in terms of privacy. (I use privacy for
convenience, as it essentially mitigates your card numbers being leaked - they're locked to the vender and you can impose spending limits)
Unfortunately I doubt there's many people who want 100% privacy that you'd want as customers if you're a VPS provider. I know Vultr accepts crypto but you have to prove your identity first (still great if you're a crypto advocate as privacy isn't the only benefit).
Otherwise you're stuck with resellers and grey-market providers. You could try "bulletproof" hosts from various uh-greyhat-forums but trusting those is very mehhhhh.
