Some might say that's a feature, not a bug. If you're not willing to stand by your words, then who are you, really?
But fine, let's talk:
There's Cloudflare, for what they're worth on privacy and anonymity.
There's VPS, as you say, but they are responsive to subpoenas.
There are sketchy "data haven" counties whose sketchy economy you're fueling with your rent. (* Cough * .ml * cough *)
Chose, but chose wisely.
Just because you choose a domain in a "data haven", doesn't mean that you're necessary more or less private.
It does help with piracy for not getting a site shutdown but I think that's the only reason.
