ETH on 3 networks plus ERC-20 tokens # Buy a VPS with Ethereum, on mainnet or a cheap L2 Send ETH on Ethereum, Arbitrum or BNB Smart Chain, or ERC-20 tokens straight from your wallet, and keep a German KVM server running on hourly charges. [Get an ETH VPS](https://cloud.datapasa.com/register) [See plans](#plans) ## Why pay for your server in ETH here Use the chain where your funds already are. ### ETH on three networks Send ETH on Ethereum mainnet, Arbitrum or BNB Smart Chain. Pick the one where your funds sit to avoid extra bridging. ### Low fees on Arbitrum Layer 2 transfers cost a fraction of mainnet gas, so even a $5 top-up makes sense. ### Pay with ERC-20 tokens USDC, DAI, LINK, UNI, SHIB, PEPE and more are accepted, so you can spend tokens without swapping them first. ### Hourly billing Your ETH turns into dollars that cover one hour at a time, starting at order. Tear the server down and the charges end. ### Built for backends and indexers dApp APIs, indexers, bots and relayers get reserved vCPU, NVMe disks and a port of up to 1 Gbps. ### Sign up with an email An email is all it takes, with no card and no documents. KYC is asked for only if AML screening flags an on chain deposit. ## Coins and networks you can pay with Top up your balance with any of these coins. Pick the network you already hold funds on to keep fees low. | Coin | Networks | | --- | --- | | USDC USD Coin | Ethereum (ERC-20) BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20) Polygon Arbitrum Avalanche C-Chain | | ETH Ethereum | Ethereum (ERC-20) BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20) Arbitrum | | DAI Dai | Ethereum (ERC-20) Polygon BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20) | | LINK Chainlink | Ethereum (ERC-20) | | UNI Uniswap | Ethereum (ERC-20) | | SHIB Shiba Inu | Ethereum (ERC-20) | | PEPE Pepe | Ethereum (ERC-20) | Crypto payments are processed by Cryptomus.

Ethereum mainnet is the most expensive, and during busy periods the fee on a small transfer can be noticeable. It makes sense when your ETH is already there and you top up a larger amount at once, for example a few months of server time. Arbitrum is a layer 2 rollup where transfers cost far less than on mainnet, which makes it the natural choice for small and regular top-ups. BNB Smart Chain is also cheap to send on and is supported by most exchanges. Always send on exactly the network shown on the invoice, because funds sent on another chain will not be credited automatically. - Small, frequent top-ups: Arbitrum or BNB Smart Chain. - Large top-ups from a mainnet wallet: Ethereum. - Smallest deposit: $5, with a single open invoice at once. - Always match the network shown on the invoice. ## Paying with ERC-20 tokens If you hold stablecoins, USDC and DAI give you a top-up that equals the dollar amount you send, apart from gas. USDC is accepted on Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon and Avalanche, and DAI on Ethereum, Polygon and BNB Smart Chain. That is handy when you get paid in stablecoins for dApp work and want to cover infrastructure from the same wallet. LINK, UNI, SHIB, PEPE and similar tokens work too. Their value is fixed in US dollars at crediting, and from that point balance and prices are dollar figures. See the table on this page for every supported token and chain, and the top-up guide for the payment screens. ## What Ethereum developers run on our servers Most Web3 projects need ordinary servers more than they need their own chain client. Typical workloads are dApp backends and APIs, subgraph style indexers that read from an RPC provider into PostgreSQL, keeper and liquidation bots, relayers, webhook listeners, and front ends. A plan with 2 to 4 vCPU and NVMe storage covers most of these comfortably. An Ethereum full node is a different matter. It needs far more disk than our plans offer, so we do not recommend it here. Use a hosted RPC endpoint and run your own logic next to it instead. Lighter blockchain software fits well, and running nodes of that size is allowed under our acceptable use policy. ## Hourly billing for test deployments Smart contract work often means short lived environments: a staging backend for an audit, a load test before launch, or a fork of your stack to reproduce a bug. Spin one up, keep it exactly as long as the job needs, then destroy it. VPS-3 (2 vCPU, 4 GB of memory) is $7.09 a month, close to a cent an hour. Machines are KVM guests in Falkenstein, Germany, with root access and Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, CentOS or FreeBSD to choose from. They are ready a few minutes after ordering. If funds slip under 30% of the monthly price of your servers, an email reminds you to send more ETH. ## Step by step guides Written by our team and tested on DataPasa servers.

Choose the network when you create the invoice and send on exactly that network. Arbitrum and BNB Smart Chain usually cost much less in fees than Ethereum mainnet. Mainnet makes more sense for larger top-ups where the gas is a small share of the amount. Yes. USDC, DAI, LINK, UNI, SHIB, PEPE and many more are supported, each converted into US dollars at the moment it reaches your balance. We do not recommend it. An Ethereum full node needs more disk than our plans provide. Our servers are a good fit for dApp backends, indexers and bots that use a hosted RPC endpoint. Registration takes an email and no paperwork. On chain deposits are checked under our AML policy, and ID comes up only for a flagged one. No. ETH and token deposits are final. The only refundable money is unspent card balance paid via Stripe, and it can go back solely to that card. Used hours and bonus credits cannot be refunded either. ## Related pages [ Crypto VPS Fund the account with USDT, BTC, ETH, XMR or dozens of other coins, start a German KVM server within minutes and remove it the moment it is no longer needed. ](https://datapasa.com/en/crypto-vps)[ USDT VPS Pick a chain whose fee suits you, send USDT or USDC, see the same number of dollars appear and keep a German KVM server running on hourly charges. ](https://datapasa.com/en/crypto-vps/usdt)[ Bitcoin VPS Send Bitcoin, Litecoin or Bitcoin Cash, and a German KVM server starts drawing on that deposit hourly.
