I think the gold standard of account creation is the mullvad experience, you create an account id, and your good to go. I haven't found such frictionless service in the game hosting domain.

I've found two services that do accept crypto, with some friction, but nothing perfect. I'd like to hear of any alternatives that work well, (specifically for factorio hosting).

I realize there are plenty of VPS and cloud hosting services already, but that's alot of config and admin to get a commodity game server up for a month or two.
