There is a wide selection of VPS’s that you can choose from on the Internet. Cheap VPS’s, offshore VPS’s, American-based VPS’s, Windows VPS’s, the list is endless. Thus, it comes as no surprise that there are also Bitcoin VPS’s available.
Not only are there many VPS providers that support Bitcoin as a payment gateway, there are also hosts that only support Bitcoin, known as bitcoin hosting providers. In this list, we’ll look at both types of hosts.
Before we list 11 providers where you can buy a VPS with Bitcoin, let’s briefly go over why someone would prefer to pay with Bitcoin over, let’s say, PayPal.
1) IT’S EASY TO SET UP
You can open account, known as a ‘Bitcoin Wallet’ or simply ‘Wallet’ without having to register with any of your personal details. The application is called Bitcoin Core, and it is base program of Bitcoin.
It’s free, and you can download from the official website: https://bitcoin.org/nl/download
We highly suggest avoiding any online interfaces to store your Bitcoin.
You’ll have to wait until it is completely synchronized, which can take a few days.
2) THERE ARE NO REAL FEES
Sending and receiving Bitcoin payments using Bitcoin core is done without any additional fees. If you compare that with the 5% fee that you have to pay using PayPal, you quickly realize the wonder that is Bitcoin.
3) IT HELPS MAINTAINING YOUR ANONYMITY
Since you are not required to give any personal information, nobody really knows who exactly is paying and what for they are paying it. Blockchain.info keeps a log of all the transactions made, but that’s really it when it comes to logging.
4) BITCOIN’S VALUE FLUCTUATES A LOT
Bitcoin’s value changes significantly every day, and that there have been cases where it shot up 10% in a single day, making everywhere who had Bitcoin 10% richer. Some thus see holding Bitcoin as an investment similar to how someone would have shares of a company.
Now that we’ve discussed the benefits of Bitcoin, let’s look at the best hosts where you can buy a VPS with Bitcoin:

BitHost.io – credit for their original name – started in 2014. What differentiates Bithost.io from other hosting providers is that they do not only offer a monthly pricing model, but also an hourly pricing model. So for example, their 512MB VPS costs $7.00/month, but you can also buy it for $0.01/hour. This is great for if you want to use a VPS for a much shorter period of time than one month.
Their VPS’s are relatively well priced, but you can get them for cheaper. Also, they are resellers of Digital Ocean and BitHost.io is run by a single person named Scott Robertson. He offers Digital Ocean packages for a higher price (40% higher) and explains that this increase is caused by the USD to BTC conversion. To keep it short, that’s not how it works. Once Digital Ocean begins accepting Bitcoin, BitHost.io’s entire business becomes obsolete.

Their unmetered bandwidth is not truly unmetered. For their Swiss and German location, the limit is just 2 and 3 Terabyte respectively. Far from unmetered. For their remaining locations, which are Los Angeles and Russia, the bandwidth is unmetered, but you can still expect a bandwidth limit like 50Mbps or even lower. It is best to contact them first and ask for Mbps guarantees.
- 1 GB RAM
- 40 GB Disk Space
- 1 TB Bandwidth
- Full Root Access
- CentOS Panel
- cPanel
- Plesk Panel
- DDoS Protection
- Non-stop Support
These VPS’s use OpenVZ virtualization, which is usually a second choice. KVM virtualization being the first choice for most experienced VPS users. Also, their VPS’s are not using SSD drives, which shows how QHoster employs cost-saving features to maximize their margin. Another unusual choice is that their biggest VPS only has 4GB memory, while the norm by other providers is usually 32GB or even 64GB.

$25.00/year is an excellent price, until you realize that you only receive 128MB RAM. That’s almost ten times less than the standard 1GB RAM you can get these days for 8 bucks. I even know some hosts that offer 128MB for a dollar a month. So all in all, their VPS’s are overpriced, which is why they are positioned seventh on this list.
- 1 GB RAM
- 1 TB Bandwidth
- 1 Dedicated IP
- cPanel
- Plesk
- Full Root Access
- 24/7/365 Support
Superbithost’s VPS plans are overpriced, which is understandable given that they resell VPS’s and they are looking to make a profit as well. Furthermore, aside from Bitcoin, Superbithost also accepts Litecoin, which is a less popular, but reliable alternative cryptocurrency to BTC.
- 1 GB RAM
- 20 GB Disk Space
- Unlimited Bandwidth
- Dedicated IP
- Non-stop Support
- CentOS
- Full Root Access
MonoVM’s VPS’s are pricey. You can get most plans for half the price and with SSD disks. Regardless, they offer a wide range of locations, which can be great for those who need VPS’s in specific countries.
- 512 MB RAM
- 15 GB SSD Storage
- 500 GB Bandwidth
- Dedicated IP
- IPv6 Included
- Daily Backup
- SSL Certificates
For the rest, they’re quite secretive about who they are and what differentiates them from other hosts.
Hostigation offers a narrow variety of VPS’s. Not only is the selection limited, their VPS’s range from very weak to weak, which explains why they have never gained much popularity. Furthermore, the prices are too high. Even for American standards.
