Why pay for VPS with cryptocurrency?

Fewer banking hurdles: Cross-border card declines and regional payment limits can block legitimate purchases. Crypto settles globally.
Speed and availability: Many networks confirm payments within minutes, so your VPS can be delivered quickly once payment is confirmed.
Privacy: Crypto allows you to reduce exposure of card details while still paying securely.
Multi-currency flexibility: If your local currency is volatile, stablecoins (for example USDT/USDC) can help you budget more predictably.
Pan-African reach: Whether you are in Lagos, Accra, Nairobi, Gaborone, Harare or Cairo, crypto offers a practical way to pay online.

Where will your VPS be hosted?

AFRICLOUD operates in two strategic locations for the continent:

Lisbon - excellent for West/North Africa and Europe
Johannesburg - ultra-low latency for Southern and East Africa

Pick the location closer to your users for the best latency. See each page for regional performance details.

How the crypto checkout works (high-level)

Choose your VPS plan on the pricing section. Plans start at entry-level and scale up to high-performance options.
Review payment options on the Crypto VPS Hosting page and proceed to checkout when ready.
Create or sign in to your client account and review your invoice.
Select cryptocurrency at checkout and choose your preferred coin or stablecoin.
Pay and confirm. After network confirmation, your VPS is automatically provisioned (typically under 2 minutes). Connection details are sent by email.

Tip: If you need guidance choosing specifications (CPU/RAM/storage), start small and scale up. You can upgrade plans later from your dashboard.

Step-by-step: placing your order

1) Pick a plan and location

Visit the pricing section and choose a plan that fits your workload. If your audience is in Southern/East Africa, Johannesburg usually provides the best latency; for West/North Africa and Europe, Lisbon is ideal.

2) Start your order

When you’re ready to proceed, head to Crypto VPS Hosting to initiate checkout. You can also use the standard order flow at africloud.com/order.

3) Select cryptocurrency at checkout

On the invoice/checkout page, choose Cryptocurrency as your payment method and then pick your preferred coin (e.g., BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC). You’ll see the payment address or QR code along with the amount and any expiry timer for the quote.

4) Send the payment

Always send on the exact chain shown at checkout (for example, USDT on TRX or ETH on Arbitrum).
Include sufficient network fee so your transaction confirms promptly.
Most payments confirm in minutes. Some networks (e.g., BTC during congestion) may take longer.

5) Automatic provisioning

As soon as your payment confirms, your VPS is provisioned automatically - typically under 2 minutes. You’ll receive SSH and console details by email.
