Bitcoin hosting
Answer
Bitcoin hosting means paying for server capacity in BTC. Incognito VPS accepts on-chain Bitcoin with a ninety-minute rate lock and provisions automatically on confirmation. Bitcoin is pseudonymous rather than private: the ledger is public, so use Monero if your threat model includes chain analysis.
What Bitcoin gives you here
Paying in Bitcoin removes the card networks, the processor and the billing identity they require. That alone is a substantial improvement over a card, and for most people it is the practical difference between having a hosting account attached to their legal name and not having one.
It also settles finally. There is no chargeback mechanism, which is precisely why we can operate without knowing who you are.
What Bitcoin does not give you
The ledger is public and permanent. A payment from an address that can be linked to you — an exchange withdrawal, a reused address, a payment that touched a KYC service — is a durable record connecting you to us. We think it is worth stating this plainly on a page that is trying to sell you Bitcoin hosting.
If that matters for your threat model, use Monero. If it does not, Bitcoin is fine and the rest of this page applies.
Fees and confirmation
On-chain Bitcoin confirmation ranges from about ten minutes to an hour depending on the fee you set and mempool conditions. We require two confirmations for amounts under $200 and three above it. During congestion, a low-fee transaction can sit unconfirmed past the ninety-minute rate lock; if that happens the payment is credited to your balance at the confirmed rate rather than lost.
For smaller orders, Lightning avoids the wait entirely and settles in seconds with negligible fees.
Frequently asked questions
01 Do you support Lightning?
Yes, for invoices under $500. Lightning settles in seconds with minimal fees and avoids on-chain confirmation delay entirely. Larger amounts route on-chain for reliability.
02 How many confirmations do you require?
Two for orders under $200, three above. At typical block times that is twenty to thirty minutes. Provisioning starts automatically once the threshold is met.
03 Is Bitcoin anonymous?
No — it is pseudonymous. Every transaction is permanently public and chain analysis routinely links addresses to identities via exchange withdrawals. Monero is the private option and we recommend it where privacy is the goal.
04 What if my transaction stays unconfirmed past the rate lock?
It is credited to your account balance at the rate that applied when it confirmed, rather than being lost. You can then deploy from balance immediately.
