Go to billing in the control panel, type an amount of $5 or more and select BTC. You get an address and the precise BTC sum to send. At the moment of crediting it becomes US dollars, and the balance plus all server prices remain in dollars no matter where the BTC price goes afterwards.
Nothing is credited until the transaction has its confirmations, and with full blocks and a low fee rate that wait grows. That is slower than stablecoins, so send your BTC while there is still money left. An invoice that looks unpaid after an hour deserves a ticket with the txid. Our top-up guide on this page shows every screen.
$5 minimum per deposit, and a single open invoice at any time.
Invoices without a payment lapse after 24 hours.
If the mempool is clogged, a card through Stripe works as a backup.
Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash as faster alternatives
If you want your balance updated sooner, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash are accepted on the same terms. Both usually confirm faster than Bitcoin and cost less to send, which matters for small top-ups where a high Bitcoin fee would take a noticeable share of the amount. They are also handy when you keep some coins on an exchange that charges less to withdraw them.
All three coins land on the same dollar balance. You can top up in BTC one month and LTC the next, and your servers keep running without any change. If you prefer to avoid price swings between sending and crediting, a stablecoin like USDT is the other option, covered on our USDT page.
Why hourly billing suits Bitcoin payments
Paying a monthly host in BTC usually means predicting how long you need the box and committing the coins in advance. Here your sats sit as dollars and every server nibbles at them hourly. VPS-1 at $1.81 a month is near a quarter of a cent an hour, so a weekend experiment comes to a few cents.
Once funds drop beneath 30% of what your running servers cost per month, a reminder email goes out, never more than one a day. At zero, servers are paused for 24 hours with their data intact, and only then deleted. That window leaves room for another BTC transaction to confirm on a slow day.
Running your own Bitcoin infrastructure
Don't trust, verify: plenty of people paying in Bitcoin also want their own node. A pruned Bitcoin Core install validates everything yet keeps only recent blocks, so VPS-3 (2 vCPU, 4 GB of memory, 64 GB NVMe) holds it easily. The first sync is slow, after which the node ticks along and your wallet can connect to it.
LND with Neutrino is lighter still and fits VPS-2 for Lightning. You install either one manually, and the wiki walks through the pruned node in detail. The acceptable use policy permits blockchain nodes, but mining requires our written approval in advance.
Step by step guides
Written by our team and tested on DataPasa servers.
Registration asks for an email and nothing else. Bitcoin deposits go through screening under our AML policy, and KYC is requested only for a payment that gets flagged.
That comes down to confirmations and mempool congestion, so usually longer than a stablecoin on a quick chain. Still showing unpaid after an hour? Send the txid to support.
Yes, every DataPasa server works that way. Your BTC becomes a prepaid dollar balance, which pays one hour at order and each later hour before it begins, until you delete the server.
Yes. LTC and BCH follow the same rules as BTC and land on the same dollar balance, typically with quicker confirmations and lower fees.
Pruned, Bitcoin Core wants roughly 30 GB of disk and 2 GB of memory. VPS-3, at $7.09 a month for 2 vCPU, 4 GB and 64 GB NVMe, leaves comfortable headroom.
No. BTC turns into US dollars once, when credited, and every price is set in dollars. Later moves in the BTC rate do not touch your hosting costs.
