Ethereum for hosting: fast settlement, gas as the only cost
Ethereum is the second wallet most people already have, and it settles quickly: twelve blocks take about three minutes, after which your balance is credited and any waiting order is provisioned by itself. The ETH amount is locked for 30 minutes when you open the deposit page, so a price swing during those minutes is our problem, not yours.
The cost of paying in ETH is gas, which varies with network load. For a monthly top-up it is usually a small fraction of the amount; when it is not, USDT on Tron costs a few cents and is credited in about a minute, and your USD balance ends up identical.
Everything else is the same as with any coin here: no identity check, a USD balance that never expires, monthly renewals paid from it, and refunds within 14 days.
What people run on an ETH-paid VPS
- Nodes and RPC endpointsLight clients and RPC proxies fit a VPS; a full execution plus consensus node wants the Storage line or a dedicated server.
- dApp front-ends and indexersStatic front-ends, subgraph indexers and bots close to your users.
- Validator side toolingMonitoring, alerting and backup boxes paid from the same wallet you stake from.
- Bots and keepersLiquidation bots, keepers and schedulers that need to run around the clock.
- VPN and access boxesWireGuard hubs and bastion hosts on a fixed IPv4.
- General workloadsAnything a Linux VPS does; the coin does not change the server.
Everything a server needs, nothing to add on
- KVM, full rootReal virtualisation with your own kernel. Any OS from our images, or your own ISO.
- Dedicated NVMeLocal NVMe Gen4 in RAID-10. Your disk is not a shared network volume.
- DDR5 ECC memoryError-corrected memory on every node. No ballooning, no overselling of RAM.
- 1 Gbps portGenerous monthly traffic, then unmetered at 100 Mbps. Never a surprise bill.
- SnapshotsTake a snapshot before every change and roll back in seconds. Two included.
- Private networkFree VLAN between your servers in the same location, plus floating IPs.
- IPv4 + /64 IPv6One clean IPv4 and a /64 IPv6 block per server, reverse DNS editable.

Other ways to pay, other things to rent
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero or Tether fund one USD balance. Each coin has its own page with confirmation times, fees and pitfalls.
Ethereum payment questions, answered
How many confirmations do you wait for on Ethereum?
Twelve blocks, about three minutes. The deposit page shows the count and credits the balance automatically.
Can I pay from a layer-2 or with wrapped ETH?
No. Send native ETH on Ethereum mainnet. Layer-2 transfers and tokens other than USDT ERC-20 cannot be credited.
What does a payment cost in fees?
You pay Ethereum gas; we charge nothing on incoming payments. If gas is high, USDT on TRC-20 costs cents and is credited in about a minute.
Is there a rate lock?
Yes, 30 minutes from the moment the deposit page opens. Pay inside the window and you get the full USD amount whatever the market does.
What if I send from an exchange and it arrives late?
A payment that confirms after the lock is credited at the rate of that moment, in full. Nothing is lost; the deposit page keeps watching the address.
Are refunds paid in ETH?
Yes, to a wallet you specify, minus the network fee, within 14 days of the top-up.
