How do I pay for a VPS with Monero?

Monero is the recommended coin here because it is the only widely accepted one where the payment itself carries no linkable information. Ring signatures hide the sender, stealth addresses hide the recipient, and RingCT hides the amount. There is no public record connecting the payment to an invoice.

If you do not already hold XMR, the common routes are an atomic swap from Bitcoin, a decentralised exchange such as Haveno, or a peer-to-peer market. Buying on a centralised exchange with verified identity and withdrawing to your own wallet still breaks the on-chain link, though the exchange retains a record of the withdrawal.

• Ten confirmations, roughly 20 minutes
• Invoice valid for 90 minutes at a locked rate
• Underpayments up to 3% are accepted automatically
• No account, no registration, no identity check
