XMR — Monero
Buy VPS with Monero — Privacy hosting, no KYC
Yes. We accept Monero (XMR) as payment for any VPS plan, with invoices locked in USD and processed via OxaPay. No account or identity verification is required. After broadcast, expect about 20 minutes for 10 confirmations (2-minute blocks), then provisioning takes under a minute.
Ring signatures, stealth addresses and RingCT hide sender, receiver and amount at the protocol level. There is no public balance to analyse, which is why it is the default recommendation for anyone buying hosting privately.

Paying with XMR, honestly
Monero's ledger is private by design: ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RingCT hide sender, receiver, and amount at the protocol level. There is no public balance to analyse. For hosting, this is the strongest privacy option we offer—ideal if you want no link between your payment and your server. Monero is the only network we accept for this coin, so there's no choice to make.
Monero is the default for anyone buying hosting privately—journalists, activists, or operators of sensitive infrastructure. It fits when anonymity is paramount. It's a poor fit if you need fiat invoicing or prefer faster, cheaper payments; Monero's confirmation time and fee structure reflect its privacy features.
How to pay with Monero
Configure the server
Choose a plan, a location and a billing term at checkout. No account is created.
Select XMR as the payment method
An invoice appears with a fresh Monero address, the exact amount and a QR code, valid for 90 minutes at a locked rate.
Send the exact amount
Let your wallet add the network fee on top rather than deducting it from the amount — that is the most common cause of an underpayment.
Wait for 10 confirmations
About 20 minutes on Monero. The status page updates live.
Receive credentials
Provisioning starts automatically and takes under a minute. Credentials are emailed to the address you supplied.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a Monero payment take?
10 confirmations, roughly 20 minutes on Monero, then under a minute to provision.
Is paying with Monero private?
Protocol-level privacy. Sender, receiver and amount are hidden by the protocol itself.
Which Monero networks do you accept?
Monero. Choose whichever your wallet or exchange supports; the fee difference between them can be substantial.
Do I need an account to pay?
No. No account with OnionVPS, and none with the payment processor. A fresh address is generated per invoice.
What happens if my payment is under the invoice total?
We tolerate up to 3% underpayment; above that, the invoice is considered unpaid. If you overpay, the excess is applied as credit. Invoices expire after 90 minutes, and a fresh address is generated per invoice, so double-check the amount before sending.
How does the refund window work for XMR payments?
You have 7 days from provisioning to request a refund. Refunds are issued in XMR to your original address, minus any network fees. No account is needed—just open a ticket with your invoice details. After 7 days, refunds are at our discretion.
