XMR accepted, email sign-up # Monero VPS: buy a server with XMR Fund a German KVM server with Monero, give us nothing beyond an email address and spend XMR only on the hours the machine is actually on. [Get a Monero VPS](https://cloud.datapasa.com/register) [See plans](#plans) ## What paying with Monero looks like here A private payment method, with the rules stated up front. ### Pay in XMR directly Send Monero from your own wallet. Its amounts and addresses are not public on the blockchain the way Bitcoin transfers are. ### Only an email to sign up We never ask for your name, a card or ID at registration. Any mailbox you actually read will do. ### AML screening, stated honestly Every crypto deposit is screened. A flagged deposit may be held and verification requested. Clean deposits go straight through. ### Charged by the hour The XMR you sent becomes dollars that pay for one hour at a time, starting when you order. Deleting ends the charges. ### Fits a pruned Monero node A pruned monerod node uses about 110 GB of disk and 4 GB of RAM. VPS-5 with 192 GB NVMe handles it well. ### Dollar balance, stable prices Your XMR is turned into US dollars as it is credited. After that, the price of Monero has no effect on hosting costs. ## 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 | | --- | --- | | XMR Monero | Monero | Crypto payments are processed by Cryptomus. Every deposit is screened under our AML policy before it reaches your balance. ## VPS plans you can pay for with Monero Shown per month, deducted per hour from the dollar value of your XMR.

For many people that is simply how money should work, and paying a hosting bill should not mean publishing their wallet history. Topping up with XMR lets you keep your hosting payments separate from the rest of your finances without giving us a card or a bank account. Our end of it is equally minimal: an email address, confirmed once. Then you raise an invoice, pick Monero and pay the displayed sum from a wallet you control. Its dollar equivalent is added to your balance, and servers consume that balance hour by hour. The top-up guide linked here has each step. ## What we check, and what we do not We want to be clear about this. DataPasa Limited is registered in England and Wales, and all crypto deposits, Monero included, go through AML screening for sanctions and illicit sources before they are credited. A deposit that is flagged may be held, and in that case we may ask for identity verification. Paying in XMR does not bypass these checks. What we do not do is ask for documents at sign-up or when you top up normally. Most customers never hear from compliance at all. We also enforce our acceptable use policy on every server regardless of how it was paid for, which keeps our IP ranges clean for everyone who uses them. ## Running a pruned Monero node If you use Monero, running your own node is the best way to use it privately, because your wallet then talks to a daemon you control instead of a public remote node. A pruned monerod node keeps about a third of the blockchain data while still verifying everything, and needs roughly 110 GB of disk and 4 GB of RAM. VPS-5, with 6 vCPU, 12 GB of memory and 192 GB NVMe at $18.24 a month, leaves space for the blockchain database to grow and for a wallet RPC or block explorer alongside. Fast NVMe shortens the initial sync considerably. A wiki article covers a manual pruned node install. Mining requires written approval beforehand. - Disk: about 110 GB for a pruned node. - RAM: about 4 GB. - Recommended plan: VPS-5. - Installation: by hand, following the step by step guide in our wiki. ## Timing your XMR top-ups XMR needs a number of blocks on top of your transaction before we credit it, so expect a longer wait than for stablecoins on quick chains. Keep a buffer and send more XMR early. An email reaches you, no more than daily, when funds sink below 30% of the monthly price of your running servers. Deposits begin at $5. Only one invoice may be open, and it lapses after 24 hours without payment. A completed deposit blocks the next for 24 hours. Should funds hit zero, servers stop for 24 hours with data preserved and are deleted afterwards, which leaves time to get another XMR transfer confirmed. ## Step by step guides Written by our team and tested on DataPasa servers.

Like any coin, XMR deposits pass AML screening under our policy, and we request ID only when one is flagged. The transfer stays private on the Monero chain, and the account rests on an email alone. Yet deposits are still AML screened, and what you run must respect our acceptable use policy. Several blocks have to confirm it first, so XMR typically trails stablecoins on quick chains. If an hour passes and the invoice is still open, give support the tx hash. Expect about 110 GB of disk and 4 GB of memory for pruned monerod. We suggest VPS-5: 6 vCPU, 12 GB and 192 GB NVMe for $18.24 a month. Crypto mining is not allowed without written approval from us, so ask support before you start. Running a pruned Monero node, a wallet RPC or other blockchain software is fine without any approval. No. XMR deposits are final, as with every coin. The single exception to no refunds is unspent card money paid via Stripe, returned only to that same card. Consumed hours and bonus credits are never refunded. ## 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)[ Bitcoin VPS Send Bitcoin, Litecoin or Bitcoin Cash, and a German KVM server starts drawing on that deposit hourly.
