Can I pay for a VPS with cryptocurrency?

Yes — at OnionVPS it is the only way to pay. Checkout accepts 20 cryptocurrencies across more than 15 networks, including Bitcoin, Monero, Litecoin, Ethereum, USDT and Solana, processed through OxaPay. No account registration, no card, no bank, and no identity verification at any point.

Which cryptocurrency is best for paying for hosting?

Monero for privacy — it hides sender, receiver and amount at the protocol level. USDT on TRON for cost and price stability, since the fee is cents and a dollar-pegged invoice cannot move against you. Solana or TON if you want the server provisioned within a minute. Bitcoin if convenience matters more than the ledger being public.

How do I pay for a VPS with Monero?

Choose a plan, select XMR at checkout, and an invoice appears with a fresh Monero address, the exact amount and a QR code. Send from any Monero wallet. After ten confirmations — about twenty minutes — provisioning starts automatically and credentials are emailed to the address you supplied.

How do I pay for a VPS with Bitcoin?

Select BTC at checkout and an invoice appears with a fresh address, an exact amount and a locked rate valid for 90 minutes. Send from any wallet, including Lightning. After two confirmations — roughly twenty minutes on-chain, or seconds over Lightning — the server provisions automatically.

Is paying with cryptocurrency anonymous?

It depends entirely on the coin. Monero is private by protocol design — amounts and parties are hidden. Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum are pseudonymous: every transaction is permanently public, and chain analysis routinely links addresses to exchange accounts with verified identities attached.

How long does a crypto payment take to confirm?

It varies by chain: Solana and TON confirm in under a minute, TRON in about a minute, Litecoin in around ten minutes, Bitcoin in roughly twenty and Monero in about twenty. Provisioning begins automatically the moment the required confirmations land, and takes under a further sixty seconds.

What happens if I underpay or overpay an invoice?

Shortfalls up to 3% are accepted automatically and the order provisions normally — this covers wallets that deduct the network fee from the sent amount. Larger shortfalls are held; you can top up against the same invoice or request a refund. Overpayments are refunded to an address you nominate.

What happens if the crypto price changes while I am paying?

The invoice locks an exchange rate for its 90-minute lifetime, so movement during that window does not affect you — send the quoted amount and the order completes. If the invoice expires before the transaction confirms, the payment is still credited and the rate is recalculated against the amount received.

Can I get a refund if I paid in crypto?

Yes. First orders carry a seven-day money-back guarantee: tell us within seven days of provisioning and we refund in full to an address you nominate, in the coin you paid with or in an equivalent. After seven days the term runs to its end. Service credits under the uptime SLA apply separately and are not time-limited.

Do you accept PayPal, credit cards or bank transfer?

No. OnionVPS is crypto-only, deliberately. Accepting cards would require collecting a name, billing address and often identity documents for fraud control — exactly the data the service is designed not to hold. Crypto settlement is what makes no-KYC provisioning possible at all.

Are there setup fees or hidden charges?

No setup fee, no provisioning charge, and no bandwidth overage billing. The plan price includes the transfer allowance, DDoS mitigation, one IPv4 address, a routed IPv6 /64, three snapshots and the out-of-band console. The only optional charges are add-ons you explicitly select at checkout.

What is included in every plan?

Full root access, KVM virtualisation with custom kernel support, custom ISO upload, an out-of-band VNC console, one IPv4 address, a routed IPv6 /64, always-on DDoS mitigation, three free snapshots, self-service reverse DNS, the full REST API and Terraform provider, and no identity verification at any point.
