SHIB — Shiba Inu
Shiba Inu payments for offshore VPS hosting
Yes. OnionVPS accepts Shiba Inu through OxaPay on Ethereum (ERC20) or BNB Chain. We require 12 confirmations. With a 0.2-minute block time that is roughly two minutes, after which provisioning takes under a minute. No account with OxaPay and no identity verification are needed—just an email address you control.
Accepted for completeness — settle on BNB Chain to avoid Ethereum gas eating the invoice.

Paying with SHIB, honestly
Paying with SHIB is transparent, not private. Every transaction is public on Ethereum or BNB Chain, though no identity is attached at the protocol level. Your wallet address is visible; anyone who knows it can trace your payment history. For most invoices, settle on BNB Chain: Ethereum gas fees can exceed the minimum $4 order, whereas BNB fees stay negligible. Choose privacy elsewhere if that matters—SHIB is a convenience, not a shield.
SHIB suits operators who want to keep hosting payments off card and bank statements, or who already hold the token. It is a sensible fit for small, discreet workloads like a personal VPN, a relay, or a test box—our cheapest plan is $4 per month. It is a poor fit for large fleets where volatile gas on Ethereum could inflate costs.
How to pay with Shiba Inu
Configure the server
Choose a plan, a location and a billing term at checkout. No account is created.
Select SHIB as the payment method
An invoice appears with a fresh Shiba Inu 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 12 confirmations
About 2 minutes on Ethereum (ERC20). 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 Shiba Inu payment take?
12 confirmations, roughly 2 minutes on Ethereum (ERC20), then under a minute to provision.
Is paying with Shiba Inu private?
Transparent ledger. Every transaction is public, but no identity is attached at the protocol level. If privacy is the reason you are paying in crypto, use Monero instead.
Which Shiba Inu networks do you accept?
Ethereum (ERC20), BNB Chain. 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 if my SHIB payment falls short of the invoice?
We tolerate up to 3% underpayment. Below that, the invoice stays open until its 90-minute window at the locked rate expires. Overpayments and failed transfers are refunded within 7 days. If you are unsure about network fees, round up slightly or use BNB Chain to minimise variance.
Does OnionVPS hold my SHIB after payment?
No. Payments go through OxaPay, a non-custodial processor that generates a fresh address for each invoice. We never hold your tokens. The exchange rate is locked at invoice creation for 90 minutes, so the amount you see is what we credit—barring the 3% underpayment tolerance.
