Welcome to the Hosting-Bitcoin.com FAQ. Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about our services, from understanding what a VPS is to paying for it with cryptocurrency.
Understanding Your Virtual Private Server (VPS)
What exactly is a VPS?
A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is your own private, powerful computer hosted in the cloud. We use virtualization technology to partition a single, high-performance physical machine into several isolated servers. This means you get a dedicated slice of resources (CPU, RAM, and SSD storage) that you never have to share with other users, giving you guaranteed performance and total control.
What can I do with my VPS?
A VPS is a blank canvas for your next project. Our customers commonly use their servers to:
Host secure and private websites.
Run a cryptocurrency node (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero).
Develop and test blockchain applications (dApps).
Host a high-speed, 24/7 automated trading bot.
Set up a private VPN for secure browsing.
Host a game server for you and your friends.
Getting Started & How to Pay
How do I connect to my new VPS?
Connecting is simple and secure. The method depends on your server’s operating system (OS):
For Linux VPS (like Ubuntu, CentOS): You will connect via SSH (Secure Shell). On Windows, you can use a free client like PuTTY. On macOS and Linux, the terminal has a built-in SSH client.
For Windows Server VPS: You will use the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). This is built directly into all versions of Windows. For macOS, you can download the official Microsoft Remote Desktop app from the App Store, and for Linux, a great client is Remmina.
How do I pay? Our VPS Crypto Pay Solution
At Hosting-Bitcoin.com, we are founded on the principles of privacy and decentralization. That’s why we champion the vps crypto pay model.
You can instantly purchase and renew any of our hosting plans using Bitcoin (BTC) and other popular cryptocurrencies. This allows for a fast, private, and secure transaction without involving banks or traditional payment processors.
I’m new to crypto. How can I get Bitcoin to pay?
Getting cryptocurrency is easier than ever. The most popular methods include:
Reputable Crypto Exchanges: Platforms like Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance allow you to buy Bitcoin with a credit card or bank transfer.
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Platforms: Services that connect you directly with other individuals selling crypto.
Bitcoin ATMs: You can find these in many cities, allowing you to buy Bitcoin with cash.
Support & More Information
Bitcoin vs. Ethereum: What’s the main difference?
Bitcoin (BTC) is the original cryptocurrency, designed primarily as a decentralized digital currency and a store of value (often called “digital gold”).
Ethereum (ETH) was built to be more than just a currency. It is a programmable blockchain that allows developers to build and deploy “smart contracts”; and decentralized applications (dApps). While both were validated using Proof of Work (PoW), Ethereum has since transitioned to a more energy-efficient Proof of Stake (PoS) system. The best choice depends entirely on your use case.
