A VPS (virtual private server) gives you your own slice of a server with guaranteed CPU, RAM and storage — for websites, apps, bots, automation or a remote desktop. If you'd rather pay with Bitcoin or USDT than a card, here's how to buy one, choose the right plan, and get it running.
Linux or Windows?
Pick Linux VPS for web apps, APIs, databases, Docker and anything you'll manage over SSH — it's lighter and cheaper. Pick a Windows VPS / RDP when you need a graphical desktop or Windows-only software over Remote Desktop. Unsure? Compare them in Linux vs Windows VPS.
Match the specs to the workload
- Small sites, bots, a single app: 2 vCPU and 2–4 GB RAM is plenty.
- Busier apps, databases, several services: 4 vCPU and 8 GB and up.
- A Windows remote desktop: 4 vCPU and 6 GB for light use; 8 vCPU and 16 GB for heavier work.
- Insist on NVMe or SSD storage and a 1 Gbps port — a VPS feels slow on spinning disks or a throttled network.
Choose a location close to your users
The closest region gives the lowest latency and the right local IP. We offer USA, UK, Netherlands and Canada. For multi-region testing or redundancy, a second VPS elsewhere is inexpensive.
How the crypto checkout works
- Choose a plan — a Linux KVM VPS or a Windows RDP.
- Select your coin — Bitcoin, USDT (TRC-20 or ERC-20), Ethereum, Litecoin and more.
- Pay the amount shown to the address or QR code and wait for on-chain confirmation — usually minutes.
- Receive your login by email — an IP plus SSH keys or an administrator password — typically within about fifteen minutes.
Secure it on day one
Any server on the public internet is probed within minutes of going live. Before you do anything else:
- Change the default password, or disable password login and use SSH keys on Linux.
- Enable the firewall and open only the ports you actually use.
- Keep the OS updated; on Windows RDP, turn on Network Level Authentication and consider changing the default port.
