Pay for cloud hosting with Monero (XMR) — the privacy coin where the sender, recipient, and amount are hidden on the public blockchain by default. Combined with email-only signup, it is the most private way to run a server: no card, no identity check, and a payment that isn't sitting in a public ledger tied to your name. bithost has accepted crypto since 2014.
Top up your balance in XMR and deploy on DigitalOcean, Linode, or Vultr. It pairs naturally with an anonymous VPS setup; prefer something else? You can also buy a VPS with Bitcoin — both draw from the same balance.
Servers start at $0.015/hr. Billed hourly. Delete when done.
Most cryptocurrencies record every payment on a public, permanent ledger. Monero is built differently — here is why that matters when you are paying for a server.
Ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RingCT hide the sender, recipient, and amount. There is no public record linking your wallet to your server.
Sign up with just an email and pay in XMR. No identity check, no card on file, no bank statement tied to your infrastructure.
Unlike Bitcoin, Monero amounts and addresses aren't visible on a block explorer, so a top-up can't be traced back across the chain to other activity.
Pair Monero payment with an anonymous VPS and a VPN to keep both how you pay and how you connect private end to end.
Paying with XMR takes three steps, with no card and no identity check at any point.
No name, no ID, no card. An email address is all that is required to open an account.
A fresh Monero deposit address is generated for each top-up. Deposits credit after a handful of confirmations, typically around 20 minutes.
Pick a plan and location. Your server is live in under a minute, billed hourly from your USD balance.
Yes. Monero (XMR) is one of the 300+ cryptocurrencies bithost accepts. Top up your balance with XMR and deploy servers on DigitalOcean, Linode, or Vultr — no card and no KYC required.
Monero hides the sender, recipient, and amount on its blockchain by default using ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RingCT — so a payment isn't publicly visible on a block explorer the way a Bitcoin transaction is. Combined with our email-only, no-KYC signup, there is no identity or card linked to your account. As always, your own network privacy (for example using a VPN or Tor) is up to you.
Monero blocks are about two minutes apart, and deposits credit after a handful of confirmations — typically around 20 minutes from sending. You'll see the balance update automatically once it confirms.
Both work and both land in the same USD balance. The difference is privacy: Bitcoin's ledger is fully public, so anyone can trace amounts and addresses, while Monero's are hidden by design. If keeping your payment trail private matters as much as not handing over ID, Monero is the stronger choice.
The minimum is $20 USD equivalent in XMR, plus the network fee. Your balance carries over month to month with no expiry, so you can top up once and deploy over time.
Yes. All deposits land in the same USD-denominated balance, so you can fund with Monero today and Bitcoin or a stablecoin tomorrow. Servers are billed from that single balance regardless of how you topped it up.
