Nine hosting providers accept Bitcoin for VPS plans, with payment routes and ID rules differing
Bitcoin Insider compared nine hosting providers that take Bitcoin, finding processors, ID thresholds and card rules differ by host.
Why it matters
The ID threshold at Namecheap and the card or PayPal requirement at Vultr limit who can pay for a server with Bitcoin alone, which is the practical point the comparison sets out. Because one aggregator supplied all of it and no provider confirmed the terms it describes, the significance for the hosting market is limited.
Key facts
Bitcoin Insider says it reviewed payment pages, FAQs and terms for more than a dozen hosting providers in October 2026 and kept the ones accepting Bitcoin for VPS hosting.
Reported by Bitcoin Insider
Namecheap's BitPay route asks for ID on payments of $3,000 or more and on any refund.
3,000 USDReported by Bitcoin Insider
Vultr's billing FAQ states that a valid credit card or PayPal account must be linked in order to register.
Reported by Bitcoin Insider
Some hosts take Bitcoin directly to their own node, others route it through BitPay, BTCPay Server or CoinGate, and a few accept it only as a balance top-up.
Reported by Bitcoin Insider
A Bitcoin payment can take 10 to 60 minutes to confirm depending on fees and the number of confirmations required.
Reported by Bitcoin Insider
Bitcoin Insider says the prices it lists are the cheapest monthly plans it could confirm at the time of writing.

What happened
Bitcoin Insider published a comparison of nine hosting providers that accept Bitcoin for VPS plans, based on payment pages, FAQs and terms it checked for more than a dozen providers in October 2026. The outlet separates three checkout models: a direct on-chain invoice, a route through a processor such as BitPay, BTCPay Server or CoinGate, and an account balance top-up. It reports that Namecheap's BitPay route asks for ID on payments of $3,000 or more and on any refund, and that Vultr's billing FAQ requires a valid credit card or PayPal account to register before an account can be opened. Bitcoin Insider also notes that a Bitcoin payment can take 10 to 60 minutes to confirm depending on fees and the number of confirmations required, and that a few providers take Bitcoin only as a balance top-up. No other outlet covered the comparison, so every detail about named providers rests on Bitcoin Insider alone.
