Paying for hosting with Monero, step by step

Why Monero?

Bitcoin, Ethereum and most stablecoins live on public ledgers: anyone can follow the money between addresses. Monero hides sender, receiver and amount by default, so the hosting payment isn't a permanent public link to the rest of a transparent wallet.

1. Pick a wallet you control

Use a non-custodial wallet where you hold the seed: Feather Wallet or the official Monero GUI on desktop, Cake Wallet on mobile. Write the seed down offline.

Paying straight from an exchange works technically and tells the exchange who you paid. If that matters, move the coins to your own wallet first.

2. Fund it

Acquire XMR in whatever lawful way suits you, and send it to your own wallet first. Let it settle before you pay an invoice, so you aren't waiting on two transactions at once.

3. Pay the invoice exactly

Top-ups are priced in USD. The invoice shows a staff receive address and a QR code. Send to this address, then wait for staff confirmation.

Monero is not a receive address on this wallet. Use BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, LTC, DOGE, TRX, SOL, BNB, XRP or BCH.

4. Keep proof

In your wallet, open the transaction and save the transaction id and the transaction key. Most wallets call this get-proof or a payment proof. With those, a payment can be checked without revealing the rest of the wallet.

5. Confirmation and provisioning

We don't publish one confirmation count for every coin. When a processor is confirming payments, the invoice moves forward on its rules. When it isn't, a person matches the payment to the order reference.

VPS and RDP are usually ready within minutes after the payment is confirmed. Dedicated and GPU servers can take longer. Credentials go to the contact on the order.

Good habits

Use a contact address that you can still open next year. Don't reuse a subaddress from an old invoice. Renew by placing the next term before this one ends.
