Can you pay BitLaunch and Gloamport in Monero?
Gloamport takes Monero directly; BitLaunch does not list it. BitLaunch's help article on payments describes its own system for Bitcoin, Ether and Litecoin and says other coins go through flyp.me, a third-party swap service. A Monero payment routed that way passes through one more company before it reaches the host.
At Gloamport, Monero goes straight to a Gloamport wallet. A Monero payment is credited after 10 network confirmations, about 20 minutes. 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.
According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, 26 of 42 active crypto VPS hosts accept Monero (62%), and BitLaunch is among the 16 that do not. The full table is on Which VPS hosts accept Monero?.
Which host shows its prices before you sign up?
Gloamport publishes every price; BitLaunch shows its plan sizes and prices only inside an account. On 10 November 2026 its home page carried no price and its /pricing address answered with a 404 error. That is why this page compares no BitLaunch price: there is no public figure to quote.
Gloamport's eight plans run from Ember (1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe, 1 TB traffic) to Zenith (32 vCPU, 64 GB RAM, 500 GB NVMe, 64 TB traffic). On 12 months they cost $3.74 to $116.25 a month; on 1 or 3 months, $7.48 to $232.50. Each sits at least 25% under a named reference plan on the 12-month term, and the market comparison is on How much does a Gloamport VPS cost?.
What can you check before paying each host?
A buyer who does not want an account first can verify these facts on the public pages of each host.
| Fact | Gloamport | BitLaunch |
|---|---|---|
| Price of each plan | Yes | No |
| vCPU, RAM and disk of each plan | Yes | No |
| Discount for longer terms | Yes: −20% on 6 months, −50% on 12 | No |

What does each host ask for at sign-up?
BitLaunch asks for an email address and a password; Gloamport asks for neither. BitLaunch's privacy article says those two fields are all it needs and that it does not block temporary mailboxes. Gloamport creates a random account number at checkout. 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.
Neither host asks for a name, an address, a phone number or an ID document. The difference is whether an email is tied to the server: with BitLaunch it always is, with Gloamport only if you add one. Hosts that skip the email entirely are listed on Can I get a VPS without an email address?.
When should you pick BitLaunch instead?
Pick BitLaunch if the server must sit outside Europe or in a country Gloamport does not cover. BitLaunch lists 23 locations in 16 countries: eight US cities, Canada, Mexico, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia and several European countries. Gloamport has Reykjavik, Bucharest and Amsterdam only.
BitLaunch also suits a buyer who already holds Bitcoin, Ether or Litecoin and does not care about Monero. For paying a VPS in Bitcoin from your own wallet, see How do I buy a VPS with Bitcoin?.
