Pay for Your Dedicated Server with Monero

Bitcoin's public ledger means every transaction you make is permanently and publicly visible. Chain-analysis firms routinely cluster addresses, identify exchange deposits, and reconstruct user activity from UTXO flow. For customers whose threat model includes anyone motivated to investigate the financial trail of their hosting relationship, Bitcoin alone is insufficient.

Monero solves this at the protocol level. Ring signatures mix your transaction's input with decoys so the actual sender is indistinguishable among the ring. Stealth addresses mean the recipient address visible on the blockchain is not the recipient's actual wallet address. Confidential transactions (via bulletproofs) hide the transaction amount. The practical result is that a Monero transaction reveals essentially nothing to external observers — not sender, not receiver, not amount.

For hosting customers in sensitive verticals (investigative journalism, privacy services, geopolitically exposed work, or anyone whose threat model prioritizes financial unlinkability), Monero is the right payment method. AnubizHost operates its own Monero node to process payments directly, so even we do not rely on third-party payment processors that could introduce surveillance hooks.

The checkout flow for Monero mirrors our Bitcoin flow. Select your dedicated server plan, choose Monero at checkout, and our system generates a unique one-time subaddress with the exact amount due in XMR. Send payment from your Monero wallet — GUI, CLI, Cake Wallet, Feather, or any other client — and provisioning starts on the first confirmation.

Monero confirmation times are typically 2 minutes per confirmation, with first-confirm arriving roughly 2-5 minutes after broadcast depending on network conditions. We accept orders at 1 confirmation for smaller invoices (under $500) and require 10 confirmations for larger orders as a fraud-prevention standard. Even at 10 confirms, total wait is typically under 25 minutes.

Unique subaddress generation means every invoice gets its own receiving address, so there is no address reuse on our side either. Combined with Monero's default privacy properties, this creates a payment flow where external observers have essentially no way to correlate your payment to the hosting account it funded.

Rate-locking during checkout protects you from XMR price swings during the 15-minute payment window. If the price moves significantly before you pay, we honor the locked amount rather than rejecting the payment.

AnubizHost's dedicated server pricing in USD is identical across payment methods — the server you buy with Monero is the same hardware and the same specs as the server you would buy with Bitcoin or a credit card. The Starter plan at $89/mo converts to roughly 0.45-0.60 XMR depending on current market rate. Performance and Pro tiers scale proportionally.

XMR amounts are approximate and will reflect the current market rate at checkout. Annual billing cycles paid in Monero receive a 5% loyalty discount on top of the standard 10-15% annual discount, so a Pro server paid annually in XMR works out to roughly 10.6 XMR for 12 months.

Our treasury keeps a portion of received XMR rather than immediately converting, so Monero is genuinely first-class currency at AnubizHost rather than a processor-converted fiction. This matters for long-term operational alignment with the Monero ecosystem.

Provisioning begins on the first Monero confirmation for smaller orders and at 10 confirmations for larger orders — total wait is typically under 25 minutes either way. Standard dedicated server delivery then runs 24 to 48 hours from confirmation.

For customers prioritizing end-to-end privacy, we recommend using a Monero wallet that is not linked to exchange KYC withdrawal (run a local node, use atomic swaps, or source XMR via decentralized means), a pseudonymous email for signup (ProtonMail, Tutanota, or a self-hosted address), PGP-encrypted delivery of server credentials (provide your public key at signup), and SSH key authentication rather than passwords.

We also support Tor access to our billing portal and support tickets — the onion address is published in our customer dashboard after signup. This lets you manage your hosting relationship without revealing your IP address to us or to any intermediate observer.

Our internal operational practices minimize data retention: we keep billing records as required for accounting, but we do not retain support ticket content beyond what is operationally useful, and we do not share customer data with any third party without a valid court order from a jurisdiction where we operate.

Many hosting providers that accept Monero do so through third-party processors that immediately convert XMR to fiat and introduce a surveillance hook in the process. AnubizHost operates our own Monero node, processes payments directly, and holds XMR in treasury. This matters: if a payment processor is in the middle of your transaction, the privacy properties of Monero are weakened by whatever that processor logs or discloses.

Combined with our offshore jurisdictions (Iceland, Finland, Netherlands, Romania, Bulgaria), DMCA-ignored policy, no-KYC signup, Tor-accessible portal, and minimal data retention, AnubizHost is built for the customer whose threat model demands genuine financial and operational privacy. This is not a marketing posture — it is how we actually operate, because this is also how we operate our own internal systems.

If you need hosting where your payment cannot be linked to your identity through standard blockchain analysis, and where the hosting provider itself does not become a surveillance relay, Monero plus AnubizHost is one of the stronger combinations available. Start at the Starter tier for $89/mo, scale as your needs grow, and keep your payment trail genuinely private throughout.
