Pay for Your Dedicated Server with Bitcoin

The straightforward reasons to pay for hosting with Bitcoin are financial privacy, ideological alignment, and access. A Bitcoin payment does not reveal your banking institution, your billing address, or (with basic operational hygiene) your real identity to the hosting provider. A card payment does all three. For customers who value operational privacy — activists, journalists, privacy-focused developers, or anyone building in sensitive verticals — this matters.

For crypto-native businesses and individuals, holding and spending Bitcoin directly avoids the friction and fees of converting to fiat. If your revenue is denominated in crypto, keeping your cost structure in crypto makes accounting and treasury management dramatically simpler.

For some customers, access is the real issue. Credit card networks can and do block transactions in controversial verticals (adult content, firearms-adjacent businesses, independent media that has been politically targeted). A Bitcoin payment goes through on the Bitcoin network regardless of what Visa or PayPal think about your business model. That censorship-resistance is a core property of Bitcoin, and it matters directly to anyone hosting content that might be deplatformed from payment rails.

Our checkout flow for Bitcoin is straightforward. Select your server plan, choose Bitcoin at checkout, and the system generates a unique BTC address and QR code with the exact amount due in satoshis (we lock the fiat-to-BTC rate for 15 minutes to protect you from price swings during the payment). Send the payment from any wallet — hardware wallet, mobile wallet, exchange withdrawal — and provisioning begins on the first confirmation.

For customers sending smaller invoices or who want faster confirmation, we accept Lightning Network payments on most of our plans. Lightning invoices settle in seconds with essentially zero fees, which is especially convenient for annual billing cycles and multi-server orders where the payment amount is predictable.

We also accept USDT (ERC-20 and TRC-20) for customers who want stablecoin-denominated billing without the volatility of Bitcoin. Internally we convert a portion of received Bitcoin into stablecoin for operational expenses and hold the rest, so our treasury is genuinely Bitcoin-native rather than treating BTC as a marketing gimmick.

Refunds, if applicable, are issued back to the payment address in the original asset (BTC back to BTC) at the current market rate. Our refund policy for dedicated servers is documented clearly in our TOS.

Our dedicated server catalog is identical whether you pay with Bitcoin, Monero, or credit card — same hardware, same jurisdictions, same support. The entry Starter plan at $89/mo converts to roughly 0.00085-0.0012 BTC at current rates (exact amount locked at checkout). The Performance plan at $129/mo and the Pro plan at $199/mo scale proportionally.

BTC amounts shown are approximate and will reflect the current market rate at checkout. Annual billing cycles paid in Bitcoin receive an additional 5% loyalty discount on top of the standard 10-15% annual discount — we would rather have a Bitcoin customer locked in for a year at a deeper discount than chase a monthly conversion customer.

For customers paying larger invoices (multi-server orders, enterprise tiers), we support payment splitting across multiple transactions within a single invoice window, which can help customers managing UTXO sizes in their wallet.

Provisioning begins at the first network confirmation (typically 10-30 minutes depending on current mempool conditions and fee rate used). Lightning Network payments settle in seconds and trigger provisioning immediately. From payment confirmation, standard dedicated server delivery runs 24 to 48 hours.

For customers paying with Bitcoin who want faster delivery, the Lightning Network path is almost always better: 0-conf on Lightning is effectively instant, and our provisioning automation picks up the payment and starts hardware allocation within minutes. For on-chain Bitcoin payments, using a reasonable fee rate (checked against mempool.space at the time of payment) ensures first-confirmation inside the 15-minute window and prevents rate re-lock.

Delivery includes SSH credentials delivered over an encrypted channel (PGP-optional), IPMI access, and the operating system of your choice. Bitcoin-paying customers receive the same delivery SLA and support quality as fiat customers — this is not a second-class billing path, it is our preferred billing path.

Most hosting providers that claim to accept Bitcoin do so through a third-party processor (BitPay, Coinbase Commerce) that immediately converts your BTC to fiat on their side and takes a cut. AnubizHost processes Bitcoin directly through Plisio and our own Lightning node, holds BTC in treasury, and treats it as first-class money rather than a marketing line item.

Combined with our offshore jurisdictions (Iceland, Finland, Netherlands, Romania, Bulgaria), DMCA-ignored policy, no-KYC onboarding, and genuine enterprise hardware, this makes AnubizHost a practical choice for Bitcoin-native customers building real infrastructure. Whether you are running a privacy service, a content platform, a development environment, or personal infrastructure, paying with Bitcoin should not require compromising on quality.

Our oldest Bitcoin-paying customers have been with us for multiple years and renew consistently — a genuine stress test of whether a Bitcoin-accepting hosting provider stays operational. If you are looking for hosting that treats Bitcoin as money rather than as a marketing novelty, start at the Starter tier to validate, then scale up as your needs grow.
