Bitcoin is the easiest coin to hold and the most visible to pay with. This page covers the steps and what the ledger shows afterwards.

**Quick answer — How do I buy a VPS with Bitcoin?**

To buy a VPS with Bitcoin at Gloamport, choose BTC at checkout and send the exact amount from your own wallet to the address shown. The payment is credited after 2 network confirmations, with no ID document asked. Plans start at $3.74 a month on the 12-month term. Bitcoin is a public ledger, so the payment stays visible.

## What are the steps to buy a VPS with Bitcoin?

1. **Choose a plan and a term** — Pick one of the eight plans and 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. Ember $3.74, Dusk $5.25, Gloam $8.25, Night $13.50, Aurora $20.62, Halo $25.87, Nebula $42.04 and Zenith $116.25 a month on the 12-month term ($7.48, $10.50, $16.50, $27.00, $41.24, $51.74, $84.08 and $232.50 a month on 1 or 3 months; plans under $15 a month (Ember and Dusk) are sold for 3 months at least).
2. **Create your account** — Your account is a random account number created on the spot. It is the only thing you need to sign in; an email address can be added later or never.
3. **Select BTC as the coin** — The checkout shows a Bitcoin address and the exact amount to send.
4. **Send the exact amount from your wallet** — Send it from a wallet whose keys you hold. Payments go to wallet addresses that Gloamport holds itself. No third-party payment processor sits between you and us, so no payment company receives your order details or your transaction.
5. **Wait for 2 confirmations** — The payment is credited after 2 network confirmations. 1 hour at most after the payment is confirmed; most VPS are running within a few minutes.
6. **Log in over SSH** — A person on the team builds each VPS once its payment is confirmed. The dashboard shows the progress, then the IP address as soon as the VPS boots. Root over SSH. Paste a public key at checkout and password login stays switched off; leave it empty and the team sets a temporary root password, shown in your dashboard, that you change at first login.

## What does a Bitcoin payment reveal compared with Monero?

| What can be seen | Bitcoin (BTC) | Monero (XMR) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Sender | Public on the ledger | Hidden |
| Receiver | Public on the ledger | Hidden |
| Amount | Public on the ledger | Hidden |
| Confirmations before credit at Gloamport | 2 | 10 (about 20 minutes) |

*Prices checked on November 10, 2026.*

Monero hiding sender, receiver and amount is stated by the Monero Project. Bitcoin’s ledger is public; Gloamport’s own account records apply to both coins.

## What does a Bitcoin payment reveal about me?

It reveals the paying address, the amount and the time to anyone who looks. Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when.

A Bitcoin address carries no name. It starts to carry one when it is linked to you: by an exchange that holds your ID, by a purchase you made earlier, or by a payment you reuse. Monero keeps a payment off the public record, but not out of your account: Gloamport still links your orders, the IP addresses of your VPS and the transaction ID you declare to your account number.

## Should I pay from an exchange or from my own wallet?

Pay from a wallet whose keys you hold. An exchange that knows your identity also knows which address you withdrew to, so a direct payment puts its record of you one step from our address.

A wallet funded earlier puts a step between the two, but the ledger still shows the path. Neither route makes the payment private. It only changes who holds the record.

## Does Gloamport use a payment processor for Bitcoin?

No. Payments go to wallet addresses that Gloamport holds itself. No third-party payment processor sits between you and us, so no payment company receives your order details or your transaction.

According to Gloamport’s survey of 10 November 2026, 14 of 42 active crypto VPS hosts name a third-party processor, 9 run their own gateway and 19 do not say. For example, the SwissLayer and VPS.BG pages state a self-hosted setup, while HostSailor’s sends crypto payments through CoinGate.

## Can I pay for a VPS over the Lightning Network?

Not at Gloamport: the coins accepted are BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR, and Lightning is not among them.

If Lightning is what you need, the survey found 4 hosts that list it, including MyNymBox through its self-hosted BTCPay Server and TLDBunker. TLDBunker was still pre-launch on 10 November 2026.

## When is Monero a better choice than Bitcoin for a VPS?

Monero is the better choice when you do not want the payment on a public ledger. Bitcoin is the better choice when it is the coin you already hold and the visibility of the payment does not matter to you.

**Before you pay**

- Minimum top-up $25. Top up once in crypto, then buy any plan from your balance.
- Credit on your balance does not expire and renews any of your VPS. When a top-up is only made to reach the minimum, the unspent part comes back on request within 30 days of payment, in USDT or USDC. The rest of a balance is not paid out unless the law requires it.
- Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min · XMR ≈ 20 min

**In summary**

- Choose BTC at checkout, then send the exact amount from a wallet you control.
- A Bitcoin payment is credited after 2 network confirmations.
- Sender, receiver and amount of a Bitcoin payment are public on the ledger.
- No ID document, name, address or phone number is asked at any step.
- Gloamport receives payments in its own wallets, with no third-party processor.
- Lightning is not accepted; 4 hosts in the survey list it.
- Gloamport still links your account, your orders and your VPS IP addresses.

## Common questions

### How many confirmations does a Bitcoin payment need?

Gloamport credits a Bitcoin payment after 2 network confirmations. A Monero payment needs 10, about 20 minutes.

### Is paying with Bitcoin private?

No, not on the ledger. Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of a payment by default. Bitcoin, USDT and the other coins are public ledgers: anyone who links an address to you can see what it paid and when. Monero is the coin on the checkout that a public explorer does not display.

### Do I need an email to pay with Bitcoin?

No. An order asks for three things: a plan, a coin and, only if you want one, an email address. There is no name field, no postal address, no phone number, no card and no identity document anywhere in the process.

### Can I pay from an exchange account?

You can send from any wallet or exchange withdrawal that accepts an address and an amount. The exchange then holds a record that links your identity to our address.

### Does the price change if I pay in Bitcoin?

The dollar price is the same in every coin. No setup fee: you pay the price of the term you choose, on the first order and at every renewal.
