Use case · Monero · survey of 10 November 2026
Six steps from choosing a plan to logging in over SSH, with the amount, the confirmations and the record that stays on your account.
Quick answer
How do I buy a VPS with Monero (XMR)?
To buy a VPS with Monero (XMR) at Gloamport, choose a plan, select XMR at checkout and send the exact amount to the address shown. The payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes, and the VPS is ready within 1 hour at most. Plans start at $3.74 a month on the 12-month term.
You need a Monero wallet that you control and enough XMR to cover the plan and term you pick.
Choose a plan and a term
Pick Ember, Dusk, Gloam, Night, Aurora, Halo, Nebula or Zenith, then 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. Pay for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months (20% off) or 12 months (50% off) at a time; plans under $15 a month (Ember and Dusk) are sold for 3 months at least. A term costs the monthly price times its months, minus its discount, rounded down to the cent: Gloam is $16.50 for 1 month, $49.50 for 3, $79.20 for 6 and $99.00 for 12, and Dusk is $31.50 for 3 months or $63.00 for 12. A renewal repeats the term of your order at the same price unless you choose another term for the next one in your dashboard.
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. Write the account number down somewhere safe: it is the one key to the account. With an email on file, a forgotten number can be sent to that address; without one, nobody at Gloamport can bring it back.
Select XMR as the coin
The checkout shows the Monero address and the exact amount to send. 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.
Send the exact amount from your wallet
Copy the address and the amount, and send them from a wallet you control. 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.
Wait for 10 confirmations
A Monero payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes. Keep the transaction ID (TXID) your wallet shows: For each payment we keep what matching it requires: the amount, the coin, the network, the transaction ID and the date. A Monero payment is checked in our own wallet with its view key, because a public explorer shows neither the sender nor the amount.
Log in to your VPS
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.

Prices checked on
Gloamport accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR. Monero is the only coin on this list whose payments a public explorer does not display.
Because a Monero payment is matched by its amount and its transaction ID. For each payment we keep what matching it requires: the amount, the coin, the network, the transaction ID and the date. A Monero payment is checked in our own wallet with its view key, because a public explorer shows neither the sender nor the amount.
A public explorer cannot confirm a Monero payment for anyone, so the check happens in the Gloamport wallet, not on a website. Send the full amount shown at checkout in one transaction, and keep the TXID until the VPS is running.
About 20 minutes. A Monero payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes; the wait is the network’s, not a review by the team.
After the credit, a person builds the VPS. 1 hour at most after the payment is confirmed; most VPS are running within a few minutes. The dashboard shows the progress and then the IP address. Each VPS is paid from a prepaid crypto balance for the term you choose at checkout: 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. With auto-renew on, the same term is charged again at the price of your order unless you pick another one for the next renewal in the dashboard. If the balance cannot cover a renewal, the VPS stops when its term ends, its disk is kept for 7 days and then wiped.
It hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of the transaction from public view. The Monero Project states that these three are hidden for every transaction.
It does not hide the order from your own account. 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. For payment privacy this is the sentence to remember: Monero protects the ledger, and the account keeps its own records. A longer comparison with Bitcoin is on Monero or Bitcoin: which is more private for paying a VPS?, and the view key the team uses to check a payment is explained in What is a Monero view key, and what does it reveal?.
Most of the hosts in the survey do. According to Gloamport’s survey of 10 November 2026, 26 of 42 active crypto VPS hosts (62%) list Monero, and 6 of them also let you register without a required email.
The host-by-host table is on Which VPS hosts accept Monero?. If you prefer to start from the email question, read Can I get a VPS without an email address?.
Every coin on the checkout works the same way: copy the address, send the exact amount, wait for the confirmations. The difference is what the ledger shows afterwards. 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.
If you hold Bitcoin, the steps are on How do I buy a VPS with Bitcoin?.
The price is the same in every coin. 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). Four of the eight plans are shown here; all of them are on How much does a Gloamport VPS cost?.

In every plan: No KYC, email optional · Root over SSH · NVMe storage · IPv4 + IPv6 /64 · Full KVM · No setup fee
You can send XMR from any wallet that lets you enter an address and an amount. An exchange that holds your ID still knows which address you withdrew to, so a wallet you control keeps one fewer party in the chain.
The payment is off the public ledger, but not off your account. 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.
No. The plan price is the same in every coin, and No setup fee: you pay the price of the term you choose, on the first order and at every renewal.
Write the account number down somewhere safe: it is the one key to the account. With an email on file, a forgotten number can be sent to that address; without one, nobody at Gloamport can bring it back.
