No. No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number. Your account number alone signs you in; an email address is yours to add or to leave out. ### How fast is my hosting ready? Once your payment is confirmed, a member of the team creates your hosting account within minutes, and within the hour at the very latest; follow its status in the dashboard until the control panel login appears. ### Can I bring my own domain? Domains are not sold here: point a domain you own to the account with two nameservers or an A record. ### How is the price set? On the yearly term, each plan is priced at least 25% under a named reference plan (prices read on 2 November 2026): Tulle against IncogNET's “CloudLinux Starter” at $3.33 a month; Chiffon against IncogNET's “CloudLinux Standard” at $5.00 a month; Velvet against IncogNET's “CloudLinux Professional” at $6.67 a month. The reference is the comparable hosting plan with the smallest price among 3 hosts that accept crypto and ask for no ID at signup (FlokiNET, IncogNET, Packetra): at least as many websites and as much storage, compared at the price a customer keeps paying (the best term up to 12 months, at its renewal price when the first term is a promotion, with any setup fee spread over 12 months). 1984 Hosting, which also asks for no ID, does not state its storage, so it is not compared. See the [price index](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-price-index/ "How much does web hosting cost with crypto in 2026?"). ### Which coins can I pay with? BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR, paid into a balance you fund in advance with at least $1. Your balance has no expiry date and pays for any of your hosting accounts. It is not paid back out unless the law requires it; the one exception is the unspent part of a top-up made only to reach the minimum, which returns in USDT or USDC if you ask within 30 days of payment. **Put your site behind the veil** Tulle $2.49, Chiffon $3.74, Velvet $4.99 a month on the yearly term.

Instead of reviews or customer counts, it gives dated prices and a source for every competitor figure. ## What does Velumhold sell? Velumhold sells one product. Private web hosting for websites and WordPress: a hosting account with a control panel, email accounts and databases, paid in crypto with no KYC. There are three plans, each priced per month and sold in every location at the same price: Tulle $2.49/month on the yearly term ($3.56 month to month), Chiffon $3.74/month on the yearly term ($5.35 month to month), Velvet $4.99/month on the yearly term ($7.14 month to month). No setup fee is added: the price of the term you pick is what you pay, at the first order and again at each renewal. Every plan and its limits are on the [pricing page](https://velumhold.com/pricing/ "How much does Velumhold web hosting cost?"). From order to live site takes four steps: 1. Pick a plan, a term, a location and a starting point: WordPress installed, or an empty account. 2. Top up your balance in crypto, from $1. No name, ID or card is asked. Your account number alone signs you in; an email address is yours to add or to leave out. 3. Once your payment is confirmed, a member of the team creates your hosting account within minutes, and within the hour at the very latest; follow its status in the dashboard until the control panel login appears. 4. Open the control panel with the login from your dashboard and point your domain to the account. The whole path is traced on [how we work](https://velumhold.com/how-we-work/ "How does Velumhold web hosting work, from payment to a live site?"). ## How does Velumhold set its prices? **Each price is set against a dated check of competing hosts.** On the yearly term, each plan is priced at least 25% under a named reference plan (prices read on 2 November 2026): Tulle against IncogNET's “CloudLinux Starter” at $3.33 a month; Chiffon against IncogNET's “CloudLinux Standard” at $5.00 a month; Velvet against IncogNET's “CloudLinux Professional” at $6.67 a month. The reference is the comparable hosting plan with the smallest price among 3 hosts that accept crypto and ask for no ID at signup (FlokiNET, IncogNET, Packetra): at least as many websites and as much storage, compared at the price a customer keeps paying (the best term up to 12 months, at its renewal price when the first term is a promotion, with any setup fee spread over 12 months). 1984 Hosting, which also asks for no ID, does not state its storage, so it is not compared. The figures behind this rule, host by host, are in the [web hosting price index](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-price-index/ "How much does web hosting cost with crypto in 2026?"). ## What does Velumhold not do? - **Sell domains:** you bring a domain you own and point it to the account. - **Automate account setup:** a person creates each account, a few minutes after the confirmed payment and within the hour at most. - **Offer a free trial:** the smallest plan, Tulle, costs $3.56 for one month. - **Accept cards or bank transfers:** payment is crypto only. - **Publish reviews or ratings:** none are shown, and no customer counts either. ## How can I contact Velumhold?

No KYC. - URL: https://velumhold.com/acceptable-use/ - Last updated: 2026-11-02 - Publisher: Velumhold (https://velumhold.com) What a Velumhold hosting account may run, the nine prohibited uses one by one, what happens to a report, and how a suspension is appealed. **Quick answer — Which uses does Velumhold allow on a hosting account?** **Velumhold** hosting accounts are for websites, WordPress and email on your own domain. Nine uses are banned: spam or bulk email, phishing, malware or botnet command, DDoS or other attacks, scanning or brute-forcing other people's systems, carding or fraud, child sexual abuse material, cryptocurrency mining, and any service to sanctioned people or companies. Breaking a rule leads to suspension. ## 1. Scope This policy covers every Velumhold account, every website, mailbox and database on it, and every person who uses them. It belongs to the [terms of service](https://velumhold.com/terms/ "Terms of Service") and applies whatever plan from the [pricing page](https://velumhold.com/pricing/ "How much does Velumhold web hosting cost?") you use. You answer for what runs on your account, including the logins you hand to other people. ## 2. Which law applies? Velumhold belongs to DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama that answers to Panamanian law alone. Each datacenter that houses our servers is bound by the law of the country it sits in. ## 3. What may run on an account? Anything that section 5 does not prohibit may run on your account, within the limits of your plan: websites and web applications, WordPress sites, email accounts on your own domain and the databases behind them. ## 4. What happens to DMCA and foreign copyright notices? DMCA notices and other foreign copyright notices get no response from us; we answer only to Panamanian law and to the orders of Panamanian courts. A copyright notice, whether it cites the DMCA or the law of another country, leads neither to a takedown nor to a suspension. The prohibited uses of section 5 stay in force on every account. ## 5. Which uses are prohibited? Forbidden: spam or bulk email, phishing, malware or botnet command, DDoS or other attacks, scanning or brute-forcing other people’s systems, carding or fraud, child sexual abuse material, cryptocurrency mining, and any service to sanctioned people or companies. The table spells out each of the nine items. Each one applies to the account, to every site and mailbox on it and to any service you sell from it. | Prohibited use | What it covers | | --- | --- | | Spam or bulk email | Unsolicited messages and mass mailings to people who did not ask for them, from any mailbox or script on the account. | | Phishing | Fake pages, messages or apps dressed up as a bank, a wallet, a shop or another service in order to harvest logins, card details or recovery phrases. | | Malware or botnet command | Hosting or spreading malicious software, and running the servers that steer infected machines. | | DDoS or other attacks | Floods, exploit traffic or any attack sent from the account against any system. | | Scanning or brute-forcing other people's systems | Port scans, vulnerability scans and password guessing aimed at systems that belong to other people. | | Carding or fraud | Trying out or spending stolen card data, running fake shops or scam pages, or any other trick that takes money or goods by deceit. | | Child sexual abuse material | Such material in any form, whether stored, shared or linked to. There is no exception. | | Cryptocurrency mining | Mining any coin with any software on the account. | | Service to sanctioned people or companies | Serving, in any way, a person or a company on a sanctions list, or anyone in a country or region named in section 7. | Two points mark where a rule stops: - **Scanning:** you may scan and test machines you own. Machines owned by other people are off limits. - **Email:** personal and business mail on your own domain is fine. Mass mailing stays banned. ## 6. How does email sending work? Email accounts on your own domain with webmail, IMAP and SMTP; outgoing mail is rate-limited to keep spam off the servers. The limit is not a quota to plan around: bulk email is banned whatever the number of messages. ## 7. Who cannot use Velumhold? We cannot serve residents or companies of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, China, Yemen or Western Sahara, or anyone in the occupied regions of Ukraine. Each incoming payment whose sending address shows on its blockchain is checked against public sanctions lists of blockchain addresses, and a payment from a listed address is never credited. A Monero payment keeps its sending address out of view, so this list check cannot cover it. Nobody under 18 can hold an account. ## 8. How are abuse reports handled? Foreign copyright notices are set aside; only Panamanian law and Panamanian court orders count. Spam, phishing, malware, botnet command, attacks, fraud and child sexual abuse material are banned and lead to suspension. Reports about a Velumhold account belong at abuse@velumhold.com. A report is easier to act on when it gives: - the domain name or URL involved; - the date and time of the activity, ideally in UTC, otherwise with its time zone; - the type of abuse you saw, such as spam, phishing, malware, an attack or a scan; - proof such as logs, full email headers or a screenshot. The abuse address takes no action on copyright complaints, whether they cite the DMCA or another foreign law. ## 9. What does a suspension mean? A breach of section 5 leads to suspension. The sites on the account stop. To contest it, see section 10. A suspension for a breach earns no credit for the days left, since the [refund policy](https://velumhold.com/refunds/ "Refund Policy") grants credits only in its own listed cases. Running out of balance is different. The terms of service set out that case: the sites stop at the end of the term and the files are kept for 7 days. ## 10. How do I appeal a suspension? Email support@velumhold.com. A person answers support emails within 12 hours, seven days a week, including help with DNS records, WordPress, email accounts and moving a site in. - Name the domain of the account. - Do not put your account number in the email. Nobody from our team will ever ask for your account number, your control panel password or your private SSH key, by email or in a chat. - Explain what happened and what you changed, such as the malware you removed or the script you turned off. ## 11. When are records handed over? Records are handed over under a Panamanian court order, and in no other case. Each record that exists appears in the [privacy policy](https://velumhold.com/privacy/ "Privacy Policy"). We keep no logs of who you are: no connection records of the dashboard and no IP addresses of customers. The web server keeps the access logs of your own sites in your account, for you, and you can switch them off. ## 12. Changes to this policy This policy is dated 2 November 2026 and may be revised. The version that applies is the one dated at the top of this page, and a revision covers every account from its date. --- Velumhold: Velumhold is private web hosting for websites and WordPress, paid in crypto with no KYC: no ID, no selfie, no card.

Velumhold: no KYC, crypto, from $2.49/month. - URL: https://velumhold.com/best-web-hosting-that-accepts-crypto/ - Last updated: 2026-11-02 - Publisher: Velumhold (https://velumhold.com) 13 shared-hosting sellers scored on three checkable things: the coins they take, whether signup asks for ID, and what the cheapest plan costs when it renews. Velumhold is one of the 13 and gets the same rules. **Quick answer — What is the best web hosting that accepts crypto?** On 2 November 2026, three of 13 crypto-accepting hosts scored 6 of 6 on coins, ID at signup and renewal price: Packetra, **Velumhold** and IncogNET. Velumhold asks for no ID and costs $2.49 a month on a yearly term. It takes BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR, Monero included since 3 November 2026. Your best pick depends on your coin, panel and location. ## How was the ranking built? **The best crypto web host takes your coin, asks for no ID and keeps its price at renewal.** We scored the 12 hosts of our survey that sell shared hosting and take crypto, plus Velumhold. The data is the 2 November 2026 survey behind the [web hosting price index](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-price-index/ "How much does web hosting cost with crypto in 2026?"): each host's public pages, nothing else. According to Velumhold's survey of 2 November 2026, 6 of those 12 hosts say that they or their payment processor may ask for ID, and only 4 showed no ID check at signup. Each host earns 0 to 2 points on three criteria: **coins accepted**, **ID at signup** and **renewal price of the cheapest plan**. **Panel** and **locations** are shown, not scored, because they describe fit, not value. The maximum is 6. ## How are the points given? | Criterion | 2 points | 1 point | 0 points | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Coins accepted | Bitcoin and a dollar stablecoin (USDT or USDC) | Bitcoin only, or stablecoins only | Neither found | | ID at signup | None found on the signup page or in the policies | Not checked | May ask: the host or its payment processor says it may request ID | | Renewal price of the cheapest plan, per month | $5 or less | More than $5 up to $10, or not captured | More than $10 | Ties are broken by the number of coins the host names, then by the lowest renewal price, then alphabetically. “About” marks a renewal inferred from a list price. Not ranked: SiteGround and Bluehost (no crypto option in the survey), Hostens (a BitPay logo but no coins named on its own pages), and Njalla, Privex and BlueAngelHost (no shared hosting). ## Which web hosts that accept crypto score highest? **Methodology.** Published by Velumhold (DomaineGoat LLC).

A score of 6 does not make Velumhold right for everyone. - **No free trial.** The smallest plan, Tulle, costs $3.56 for one month, paid up front. - **Shared hosting only.** No VPS, no root access. See [shared hosting or a VPS](https://velumhold.com/shared-hosting-vs-vps/ "Shared hosting or a VPS: which one do I need?"). - **A person creates your account.** Expect it a few minutes after the payment is confirmed, an hour at most: quick, but not the seconds of a fully automated host. - **We rank ourselves.** We sell hosting, so we are not neutral. The same rules apply to all 13 hosts. Our lead on renewal price is by design: each plan is priced on the yearly term at least 25% under a named comparable plan from FlokiNET, IncogNET or Packetra ([the price rule](https://velumhold.com/pricing/ "How much does Velumhold web hosting cost?")). ## What does this ranking not measure? Speed, uptime, support and security. The survey read public pages only, and we did not buy a plan at any host. Prices move: Hostinger's 12-month prices were read with a Black Friday offer live. Check the host's page before you pay.

Top up once in crypto, then buy any plan from your balance. - Credit on your balance does not expire and renews any of your hosting accounts. When a top-up is only made to reach the minimum, the unspent part comes back on request within 30 days of payment, in USDT or USDC. The rest of a balance is not paid out unless the law requires it. - Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min · XMR ≈ 20 min ## Which questions come up about the best crypto web hosting? ### What is the best web hosting that accepts crypto? There is no single best. On 2 November 2026, Packetra, Velumhold and IncogNET each scored 6 of 6 on coins, ID at signup and renewal price. Choose by coin, panel and location. ### Which web hosts accept Bitcoin and ask for no ID? In the survey, 1984 Hosting, FlokiNET, IncogNET and Packetra showed no ID check at signup; each asks for an email. Velumhold needs only an account number. See [web hosting without ID verification](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-without-kyc/ "Can I get web hosting without ID verification?"). ### Which web hosts accept Monero? In the survey, 1984 Hosting, FlokiNET, IncogNET, KoDDoS, OrangeWebsite and Packetra list Monero. Velumhold joined them on 3 November 2026: it takes BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR. ### Is the cheapest crypto web hosting the best? Not by itself. Renewal can be several times the first-term price: 1984 Hosting goes from $2.95 to $19.83 a month. See [why web hosting costs more at renewal](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-renewal-prices/ "Why does web hosting cost more when it renews?"). ### Which crypto web host has the smallest renewal price? Among the ranked hosts that print a renewal price, Hawk Host's Starter renewed at $5.22 a month on 2 November 2026. IncogNET, Packetra and OrangeWebsite show one price and no promotion: about $3.33, $3.71 and $4.20. Velumhold renews the same term at your order price, $2.49 a month for a yearly Tulle. ### Does Hostinger accept crypto? Yes, through CoinGate per a 2021 Hostinger post, and the survey marks ID as conditional.

Support answers questions about orders, payments and hosting accounts. Typical subjects: - an order or a top-up you made; - an account that has not arrived yet: a person creates each one within minutes of the confirmed payment, so write if an hour has passed; - pointing a domain to your account; - setting up or fixing WordPress; - email accounts on your domain; - restoring a backup; - moving a site in, which is free. ## What should a support email include? Name the site and describe the problem, and the answer comes sooner. Include: - the domain name of the site, and the plan and location of the account; - the steps you already tried and the exact error message you see; - when it happened, with a time zone or in UTC; - for a payment, the coin, the network and the transaction ID (TXID). Keep your account number, your control panel password and your private SSH key out of every message. Sharing a public key is fine. ## How do I report abuse from a Velumhold account? Write to abuse@velumhold.com with what is needed to find the site and the activity: - the domain name or URL involved; - the date and time you saw it, in UTC or with its time zone; - what you saw, for example a phishing page, spam, malware, a scan or an attack; - supporting evidence: logs, full mail headers or a screenshot. The banned uses are listed in the [acceptable use policy](https://velumhold.com/acceptable-use/ "Acceptable Use Policy"). ## Can support recover a lost account number? Only when the account has an email address. Keep your account number somewhere safe: whoever holds it holds the account. With an email on file the number can be recovered; with no email, a lost number stays lost. Store the number in a password manager. Adding an email is the one way to make a lost number recoverable. ## Which pages answer common questions?

Moving a site in is free: send support a backup or the old host’s login and the team copies it over. ### How long does a new hosting account take to be ready? Once your payment is confirmed, a member of the team creates your hosting account within minutes, and within the hour at the very latest; follow its status in the dashboard until the control panel login appears.

Velumhold includes email on every plan, from $2.49/mo, no KYC, crypto. - URL: https://velumhold.com/email-hosting-on-your-domain/ - Last updated: 2026-11-02 - Publisher: Velumhold (https://velumhold.com) Four DNS records and one mailbox. What MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC do, which ports a mail app uses, and what keeps your mail out of spam. **Quick answer — How do I get email on my own domain?** To get email on your own domain, create a mailbox with a host, point the domain's MX record at its mail server, then publish SPF, DKIM and DMARC records so receivers trust your mail. **Velumhold** includes email accounts with webmail, IMAP and SMTP on all 3 plans, from $2.49 a month on the yearly term, with no KYC and payment in crypto. ## What do the four DNS records do? | Record | Where it lives | What it tells other servers | Defined in | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **MX** | The domain itself, type MX | Which server receives mail for the domain. The lowest preference number is tried first. | RFC 5321 | | **SPF** | TXT record at the domain, starting `v=spf1` | Which servers may send mail for the domain. | RFC 7208 | | **DKIM** | TXT record at `selector._domainkey.yourdomain.com` | The public key that checks the signature on each message. | RFC 6376 | | **DMARC** | TXT record at `_dmarc.yourdomain.com` | What to do with mail that fails, and where to send reports. | RFC 9989 | ## What is an email address on your own domain? It is you@yourdomain.com instead of an address at a mail provider. Two things make it work. A mailbox on a server, and DNS records that tell other servers where the mailbox is and who may send as you. Velumhold provides the mailbox. Email accounts on your own domain with webmail, IMAP and SMTP; outgoing mail is rate-limited to keep spam off the servers. Domains are not sold here: point a domain you own to the account with two nameservers or an A record. The DNS records live wherever your domain's DNS is managed. A person answers support emails within 12 hours, seven days a week, including help with DNS records, WordPress, email accounts and moving a site in. **Mailbox counts differ widely.** According to Velumhold's survey of 2 November 2026, 5 of the 13 hosts that state an email count include unlimited email accounts in their entry plan, OrangeWebsite and Packetra include 3, and Hostinger's mailboxes are free for the first year only. Velumhold's Tulle includes 10. ## What does an MX record do? **An MX record names the server that receives mail for your domain.** A sending server asks DNS for the MX records of your domain and tries the lowest preference number first (RFC 5321, section 5.1). With no MX record, the sender falls back to the domain's own address record, so publish one on purpose. The target must be a host name with its own A or AAAA record, not a CNAME. *Example MX records* ```text example.com. 3600 IN MX 10 mail.example.com. example.com. 3600 IN MX 20 backup.example.com. ``` ## What does an SPF record do? **SPF lists the servers allowed to send mail for your domain.** It is a TXT record that starts with `v=spf1` (RFC 7208, section 3). Receivers compare the sending server with the list. - **One record only.** Two SPF records on one domain make the check fail with a permanent error (sections 3.2 and 4.5). - **At most 10 DNS lookups.** `include`, `a` and `mx` terms count. Beyond 10, the result is a permanent error (section 4.6.4). - **`-all` or `~all`.** `-all` says everything not listed is unauthorized. `~all` is a soft fail, and receivers should not reject on that alone (sections 8.4 and 8.5). *Example SPF record (documentation address)* ```text example.com. 3600 IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:203.0.113.25 -all" ``` ## What does a DKIM record do? **DKIM signs each message, so receivers can check it came from your domain and was not changed.** The sending server adds a `DKIM-Signature` header. The matching public key sits in a TXT record at `selector._domainkey.yourdomain.com` (RFC 6376, sections 3.5 and 3.6.2). The selector lets a domain hold several keys and rotate them. Google requires a DKIM key of 1024 bits or longer for mail to personal Gmail accounts, and recommends 2048 bits where supported. *Example DKIM record (key shortened)* ```text default._domainkey.example.com. 3600 IN TXT "v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIjANBgkq..." ``` ## What does a DMARC record do? **DMARC tells receivers what to do with mail that fails authentication, and where to send reports.** It is a TXT record at `_dmarc.yourdomain.com` (RFC 9989, section 4.5, which replaces RFC 7489). The `p` tag takes `none`, `quarantine` or `reject`. The `rua` tag names an address for aggregate reports. For a message to pass, SPF or DKIM must pass, and the domain they check must match the From domain. By default a match on the same organizational domain is enough. For domains whose users post to mailing lists, RFC 9989 advises `p=none` for at least a month, then `p=quarantine` for as long, before `p=reject` (section 7.4). *Example DMARC record* ```text _dmarc.example.com. 3600 IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:reports@example.com" ``` ## How do webmail, IMAP and SMTP fit together? **Webmail, IMAP and SMTP are three ways to read and send the same mailbox.** Webmail runs in a browser. IMAP lets an app on your phone or computer work on mailboxes that stay on the server, so every device sees the same folders and flags (RFC 9051). SMTP sends. Submission from your app normally uses port 587, while servers relay among themselves on port 25 (RFC 6409). RFC 8314 recommends TLS from the first byte: IMAP on port 993 and submission on port 465, with STARTTLS on port 587 also accepted. Pick the TLS options in your app. Moving from another host? Switch the MX records last, as in [how to move a website without downtime](https://velumhold.com/move-your-website/ "How do I move my website to a new host without downtime?"). ## What decides whether my mail lands in spam? **Authentication, complaints and volume.** Google's sender rules apply to mail sent to personal Gmail accounts: - All senders need SPF or DKIM, valid forward and reverse DNS, and TLS. - Keep the spam rate in Postmaster Tools below 0.3%. Google's target is below 0.10%. - Senders of more than 5,000 messages a day also need SPF, DKIM and DMARC, a From domain that matches the SPF or DKIM domain, and one-click unsubscribe on marketing mail. Velumhold is built for ordinary mail, not mass mailing. Outgoing mail is rate-limited, and spam and bulk email are forbidden. See [acceptable use](https://velumhold.com/acceptable-use/ "Acceptable Use Policy"). ## How do I set up email on my domain at Velumhold? 1. **Order a plan** — Choose a plan on the pricing page and pay from a crypto balance. Once your payment is confirmed, a member of the team creates your hosting account within minutes, and within the hour at the very latest; follow its status in the dashboard until the control panel login appears. 2. **Point your domain at the account** — Domains are not sold here: point a domain you own to the account with two nameservers or an A record. 3. **Create your mailboxes** — Add one email account per address in the control panel. 4. **Publish MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC** — Add the four records where your domain's DNS is managed. If you are unsure of a value, ask support. A person answers support emails within 12 hours, seven days a week, including help with DNS records, WordPress, email accounts and moving a site in. 5. **Connect your devices** — Open webmail, or add the account to your mail app over IMAP and SMTP with TLS. 6. **Send a test** — Send a message to an address at another provider and open its full headers. The Authentication-Results header shows the SPF, DKIM and DMARC results (RFC 8601). ## What mistakes break email on a custom domain? - **Two SPF records** on one domain. Merge them into one. - **More than 10 DNS lookups** in SPF. - **An MX target that is a CNAME** or has no address record. - **Several TXT records for one DKIM selector.** The result is undefined (RFC 6376, section 3.6.2.2). - **`p=reject` on day one.** Read the reports first. ## Email on your own domain: FAQ ### How many email accounts do I get at Velumhold? Tulle: 1 website, 20 GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, 10 email accounts, 10 databases, daily backups kept 7 days. Chiffon: 10 websites, 50 GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, unlimited email accounts, unlimited databases, daily backups kept 14 days.

Google requires SPF or DKIM from every sender to Gmail, and all three from senders of more than 5,000 messages a day. A DMARC policy of none is accepted for that rule. ### Can I send newsletters from my mailbox? No. Outgoing mail is rate-limited to keep spam off the servers, and spam and bulk email are on the forbidden list: see [acceptable use](https://velumhold.com/acceptable-use/ "Acceptable Use Policy"). ### Does email on my own domain need KYC? Not at Velumhold. No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number. You pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR: see [web hosting without ID verification](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-without-kyc/ "Can I get web hosting without ID verification?"). ### What is the difference between webmail and IMAP? Webmail is a website where you read mail in a browser. IMAP is the protocol a mail app uses to work on the same mailboxes on the server. Both show the same mail. ## Sources 1.

Three plans cost $2.49 to $4.99 a month on the yearly term, with no setup fee. You sign in with an account number, never an ID. A person creates each account within minutes of your confirmed payment, an hour at most. This page answers 25 questions. ## What is Velumhold and what does it cost? ### What is Velumhold? Velumhold is private web hosting for websites and WordPress, run by DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama. Each plan is a hosting account with a control panel, email accounts and databases, paid in crypto with no KYC. The steps from payment to a live site are on [how we work](https://velumhold.com/how-we-work/ "How does Velumhold web hosting work, from payment to a live site?"). ### How much does web hosting cost at Velumhold? Tulle costs $2.49 a month on the yearly term, Chiffon $3.74 and Velvet $4.99. Month to month they cost $3.56, $5.35 and $7.14. The yearly term is paid at once: $29.90, $44.94 or $59.97. Every plan is on the [pricing page](https://velumhold.com/pricing/ "How much does Velumhold web hosting cost?"). ### Does hosting start with a setup fee or a free trial? No setup fee is added: the price of the term you pick is what you pay, at the first order and again at each renewal. No free trial: the smallest plan, Tulle, costs $3.56 for one month, or $2.49 a month on the yearly term. ### Why is Velumhold cheaper than other no-KYC crypto hosts? Each plan is priced at least 25% under a named comparable plan from three no-KYC crypto hosts, read on 2 November 2026. Chiffon costs $3.74 a month on the yearly term, against about $5.00 at IncogNET. The table is on the [pricing page](https://velumhold.com/pricing/ "How much does Velumhold web hosting cost?"). ### How do the 1-, 3-, 6- and 12-month terms work? Pay for 1 month, 3 months (10% off), 6 months (20% off) or 12 months (30% off) at a time: a longer term costs the monthly price times 3, 6 or 12, less its discount, rounded down to the cent (Chiffon: $14.44 for 3 months, $25.68 for 6 months, $44.94 for 12 months). A renewal repeats your term at the price you ordered at, unless you set a different term for the next renewal from your dashboard. ### What happens when my term ends? You prepay each hosting account from a crypto balance for a term of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 12 months, chosen at checkout. With auto-renew, the same term is charged again at your original price, unless you pick another term for the next renewal in the dashboard; if the balance cannot cover it, the sites stop when the term ends, the files are kept for 7 days and then deleted. ### Where does my hosting account run? Reykjavik (Iceland), Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Bucharest (Romania): every plan in every location, at the same price. Reykjavik is in the EEA, outside the European Union; Amsterdam and Bucharest are inside it. You choose at checkout. The Icelandic option is covered in [Iceland web hosting](https://velumhold.com/iceland-web-hosting/ "Is Iceland a good place to host a website?"). ## How do payment, sign-in and refunds work? ### Which coins can I pay with? You can pay with BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR. Payment is crypto only, into a prepaid balance. Each payment is shown step by step in [how to pay for web hosting with Bitcoin](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-with-bitcoin/ "How do I pay for web hosting with Bitcoin?") and [with USDT](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-with-usdt/ "How do I pay for web hosting with USDT (TRC-20 or ERC-20)?"). ### Does Velumhold accept Monero? Yes, since 3 November 2026: Velumhold takes BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR. You send the exact amount to our Monero address, as with any other coin, and it is credited after 10 confirmations, about 20 minutes. A public explorer shows neither the sender nor the amount of a Monero payment, unlike a Bitcoin or USDT one. Our billing still ties the payment to your account, its orders, the server IPs of its hosting accounts and the transaction ID you enter. ### What is the minimum top-up? The minimum top-up is $1. Your balance has no expiry date and pays for any of your hosting accounts. It is not paid back out unless the law requires it; the one exception is the unspent part of a top-up made only to reach the minimum, which returns in USDT or USDC if you ask within 30 days of payment. ### Do I need an ID, a card or an email to buy hosting? No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number. Your account number alone signs you in; an email address is yours to add or to leave out. Velumhold counted 4 hosts with no ID check among the 15 shared-hosting sellers it surveyed on 2 November 2026: see [web hosting without KYC](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-without-kyc/ "Can I get web hosting without ID verification?"). ### What if I lose my account number? Keep your account number somewhere safe: whoever holds it holds the account. With an email on file the number can be recovered; with no email, a lost number stays lost. ### Can I get a refund? If we cannot deliver a hosting account, or it goes down and support cannot bring it back, the days it was out of service return to your balance. Balances do not expire. Money on the balance is not paid back out unless the law requires it, with one exception: if part of a top-up was paid only to reach the minimum and is still unspent, ask within 30 days of payment and it comes back in USDT or USDC. Each case is in the [refund policy](https://velumhold.com/refunds/ "Refund Policy"). ### Who cannot buy hosting from Velumhold? Nobody under 18 can hold an account. We cannot serve residents or companies of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, China, Yemen or Western Sahara, or anyone in the occupied regions of Ukraine. Each incoming payment whose sending address shows on its blockchain is checked against public sanctions lists of blockchain addresses, and a payment from a listed address is never credited. A Monero payment keeps its sending address out of view, so this list check cannot cover it. The rules are in the [terms of service](https://velumhold.com/terms/ "Terms of Service"). ## How do I set up my website? ### How long until my hosting account is ready? Once your payment is confirmed, a member of the team creates your hosting account within minutes, and within the hour at the very latest; follow its status in the dashboard until the control panel login appears. Setup time: 1 hour at the latest from the confirmed payment, and in most cases only a few minutes. ### Can I use my own domain, and do you sell domains? Domains are not sold here: point a domain you own to the account with two nameservers or an A record. Add the domain in the control panel and change its nameservers or A record where you bought it. The steps for a move are in [how to move your website without downtime](https://velumhold.com/move-your-website/ "How do I move my website to a new host without downtime?"). ### Can I get WordPress installed? Yes. Pick “WordPress, installed” at checkout and the account arrives with WordPress set up on your domain; pick “Empty account” to upload your own site. More in [WordPress hosting with crypto](https://velumhold.com/wordpress-hosting-with-crypto/ "Where can I get WordPress hosting paid in crypto?"). ### Can you move my existing site? Yes. Moving an existing site in is free: send support a backup or the old host’s login and the team copies it over. ### Which control panel do I get, and can I use SSH or SFTP? You manage everything from a web control panel: files, domains, email accounts, databases, SSL and backups. Give an SSH public key at checkout for SFTP and SSH, or leave it blank; the panel login always comes with the account. ### Is SSL included? Yes. Free SSL certificates (Let’s Encrypt), issued and renewed automatically for every domain on the account. ### Is this shared hosting or a VPS? Shared hosting. Each plan is a hosting account with a control panel, not a virtual server. [Shared hosting or a VPS: which one do I need?](https://velumhold.com/shared-hosting-vs-vps/ "Shared hosting or a VPS: which one do I need?") explains the difference. ## What about email, backups, data and rules? ### Can I use email on my own domain, and will it reach inboxes? Yes. Email accounts on your own domain with webmail, IMAP and SMTP; outgoing mail is rate-limited to keep spam off the servers. No host can promise that a message lands in the inbox: that depends on how you send and on the records of your domain. The setup is in [email hosting on your own domain](https://velumhold.com/email-hosting-on-your-domain/ "How do I get email on my own domain?"). ### Are backups included? Yes. Automatic daily backups of files and databases, kept for 7 to 30 days depending on the plan; restore one from the control panel or ask support. Tulle keeps them for 7 days, Chiffon for 14 days and Velvet for 30 days. ### What does Velumhold know about me? We hold only what billing and running your account need: the account number and an email if you add one; every top-up and order (amount, coin, network, transaction ID, date); and per hosting account its plan, term, location, starting point, SSH public key if you gave one, and dates. No record leaves us without an order from a Panamanian court. The full list is in the [privacy policy](https://velumhold.com/privacy/ "Privacy Policy"). ### What is forbidden on a Velumhold account? Forbidden: spam or bulk email, phishing, malware or botnet command, DDoS or other attacks, scanning or brute-forcing other people’s systems, carding or fraud, child sexual abuse material, cryptocurrency mining, and any service to sanctioned people or companies. Breaking these rules leads to suspension. Each rule is in the [acceptable use policy](https://velumhold.com/acceptable-use/ "Acceptable Use Policy"). **Ready to host your site?** Tulle costs $2.49 a month on the yearly term, Chiffon $3.74, Velvet $4.99.

Velumhold: no KYC, crypto, from $2.49 a month. - URL: https://velumhold.com/host-a-website-without-revealing-your-identity/ - Last updated: 2026-11-02 - Publisher: Velumhold (https://velumhold.com) Six places can name the owner of a website. For each one: what shows, what reduces it, and what Velumhold does and does not do. No host can make you invisible. **Quick answer — How can I host a website without revealing who I am?** Treat it as six separate leaks: payment, domain record, email, server IP and logs, content and analytics, and DNS. **Velumhold** keeps the host's side small: No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number. Plans start at $2.49 a month on 2 November 2026. It cannot hide a public blockchain payment or your domain's record, and no host can promise you will never be identified. ## What can identify the owner of a website? | What | How it can name you | What reduces it | | --- | --- | --- | | Payment | A public blockchain shows every transaction of an address | Know where your coins come from; a new address for each payment you receive | | Domain registration | The registration record (RDAP, formerly WHOIS) can show name, organization and city | A registrar that redacts; check your own record | | Email | Contact addresses in the record, on your site and in message headers | A separate address; read the headers of a test message | | Server IP and logs | The IP address names the host; access logs hold visitors' IPs | Switch off logs you do not need | | Content and analytics | Author names, photo metadata, third-party scripts | A display name that is not yours; strip photo location; load only what you need | | DNS and certificates | Records and certificates are published | Keep your name out of domain and subdomain names | ## Can my payment identify me? **Yes, if the coins trace back to you.** bitcoin.org states that all Bitcoin transactions are public, traceable and permanently stored, and that anyone can see the balance and transactions of any address. The host never sees your name in the payment. Anyone who follows the coins can still reach where they came from. To reduce it, start with the source: a payment is only as separate from your name as the wallet that sent it. bitcoin.org also advises a new address for each payment you receive. That matters if your site takes crypto: one address printed on the page links every payment to it. Monero works differently: a public explorer shows neither the sender nor the amount of a Monero payment, and Velumhold accepts it. It does not erase the link on our side: the top-up still enters your billing record with its transaction ID. Velumhold keeps a record of each top-up for billing, listed below. It does not ask who you are. ## Does my domain name reveal who I am? **It can.** ICANN tells registrants to give accurate information for directories such as WHOIS and to keep it current. What the public sees is a separate matter. Since 28 January 2025, RDAP is the definitive source for generic top-level domain data, in place of WHOIS, per ICANN. Its Registration Data Policy, effective 21 August 2025, requires redaction of personal data where the law requires it. Registrant name, street, postal code and phone are on its redaction list, and registries must redact registrant and technical emails. Registrant organization and city may be redacted, but need not be. ICANN's registrant page also mentions registrations made through privacy or proxy services. To reduce it, choose a registrar for what it publishes, look up your own record after you register, and enter no false data. Velumhold changes none of this: Domains are not sold here: point a domain you own to the account with two nameservers or an A record. [What private web hosting hides](https://velumhold.com/what-is-private-web-hosting/ "What is private web hosting, and what does it hide?") covers the other layers. ## Can my email address give me away? **Yes, in three places:** the contact address in your domain's record, the address printed on your site, and the headers of the messages you send. On headers, the email standard RFC 5321 says the Received line that a mail server adds should include the IP address of the machine that connected to it. A message can therefore carry the address of the connection it came from, depending on the mail service. **Even hosts that skip ID usually want an email.** According to Velumhold's survey of 2 November 2026, all 4 shared-hosting sellers with no ID check at signup ask for an email address. To reduce it, use a separate address on the site's own domain ([how to get email on your own domain](https://velumhold.com/email-hosting-on-your-domain/ "How do I get email on my own domain?")). Send yourself a test message from each account and read its full headers before you rely on it. At Velumhold: Email accounts on your own domain with webmail, IMAP and SMTP; outgoing mail is rate-limited to keep spam off the servers. The account email is optional: Your account number alone signs you in; an email address is yours to add or to leave out. ## What do the server's IP address and logs reveal? **The IP address names the host, not you. The logs name your visitors.** Your domain's A record points to the server's address. IP network registrations are public through RDAP, served by the regional registries (RFC 9083), so the owner of the network is easy to find. Logs are the other half. The Apache documentation says the access log records all requests the server processes, and its common format includes the client IP address. Recital 30 of the GDPR lists IP addresses among the online identifiers that can help identify people. To reduce it, switch off the access logs you do not need. At Velumhold: We keep no logs of who you are: no connection records of the dashboard and no IP addresses of customers. The web server keeps the access logs of your own sites in your account, for you, and you can switch them off. ## Can my content and analytics identify me? **Yes, often by accident.** Four common leaks: - **WordPress names.** The profile screen offers “Display name publicly as”, which defaults to your first and last name. The username often appears in author archive URLs, and no one can edit it later. The REST API's default user view lists name, slug and author link, and a plugin description says anyone can request `/wp-json/wp/v2/users` by default. - **Photos.** Apple says location coordinates are embedded in photo files, and people you share with may see where each was taken. Remove the location before you upload. - **Scripts and fonts.** An analytics script, font or embed is loaded from another company's server. Load only what you need. - **Your own words.** A bio, a signature or an unusual phrase can name you like a form field. Read your pages as a stranger would. Before you publish, set a nickname and a display name that are not your name, and choose the administrator username with care. Pick “WordPress, installed” at checkout and the account arrives with WordPress set up on your domain; pick “Empty account” to upload your own site. ## What do DNS records and certificates show? **They publish your domain and the server it points to.** The records that point your domain to your server sit on name servers, which answer queries from resolvers (RFC 1034). Plan for them to be readable. Certificates add a second public list. Let's Encrypt submits every certificate it issues to Certificate Transparency logs, which are append-only and open to queries from anyone. Its FAQ warns that crawlers then discover your domain. At Velumhold: Free SSL certificates (Let’s Encrypt), issued and renewed automatically for every domain on the account. To reduce it, keep your name, your city and your company out of domain and subdomain names. ## What does Velumhold do, and what does it not do? **It does:** - No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number ([web hosting without ID verification](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-without-kyc/ "Can I get web hosting without ID verification?")). - Your account number alone signs you in; an email address is yours to add or to leave out. - We keep no logs of who you are: no connection records of the dashboard and no IP addresses of customers. The web server keeps the access logs of your own sites in your account, for you, and you can switch them off. - We hold only what billing and running your account need: the account number and an email if you add one; every top-up and order (amount, coin, network, transaction ID, date); and per hosting account its plan, term, location, starting point, SSH public key if you gave one, and dates. No record leaves us without an order from a Panamanian court. - Domains are not sold here: point a domain you own to the account with two nameservers or an A record. - Take Monero alongside the other coins: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR. **It does not:** - Hide a payment from its own billing. A top-up in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL or LTC sits on a public blockchain. A Monero top-up shows outsiders neither sender nor amount, yet it stays tied to your account, its orders and the transaction ID you enter. - Hide your domain's record. Your registrar decides what shows. - Hide your site. A public site is public, and the access logs of your own sites stay in your account. - Promise that nobody can ever find out who you are. A court order can reach what we hold, as listed above. > **Privacy is not permission** Forbidden: spam or bulk email, phishing, malware or botnet command, DDoS or other attacks, scanning or brute-forcing other people’s systems, carding or fraud, child sexual abuse material, cryptocurrency mining, and any service to sanctioned people or companies. We cannot serve residents or companies of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, China, Yemen or Western Sahara, or anyone in the occupied regions of Ukraine. Read the acceptable use policy. ## Hosting a website without revealing your identity: FAQ ### Can I host a website without revealing my identity? You can limit what the host learns, but six places can still name you. At Velumhold, No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number. Your payment, domain record, email, content and DNS need their own care, and no host can promise you will never be identified. ### Does Velumhold need my name or email? No. Your account number alone signs you in; an email address is yours to add or to leave out. Keep your account number somewhere safe: whoever holds it holds the account. With an email on file the number can be recovered; with no email, a lost number stays lost. ### Does a WordPress site show my real name? It can. WordPress defaults the public display name to your first and last name, and the username often appears in author archive URLs. Set a nickname and a display name that are not your name before you publish. ### Can Velumhold hide my domain's registration data? No. Domains are not sold here: point a domain you own to the account with two nameservers or an A record. Your registrar and ICANN's Registration Data Policy decide what the public record shows. ### Is paying in crypto enough to stay private? No. The host sees no name, but a Bitcoin payment is public and traceable on the blockchain. Monero hides the sender and the amount from outsiders, but the host still links the payment to your account. See [how to pay for web hosting with Bitcoin](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-with-bitcoin/ "How do I pay for web hosting with Bitcoin?"). ### Will Velumhold give my data to anyone? We hold only what billing and running your account need: the account number and an email if you add one; every top-up and order (amount, coin, network, transaction ID, date); and per hosting account its plan, term, location, starting point, SSH public key if you gave one, and dates. No record leaves us without an order from a Panamanian court. **Host a site with no ID check** Tulle, Chiffon and Velvet start at $2.49 a month on the yearly term. Account number, crypto, no KYC.

At **Velumhold** the rule is simple: No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number. Plans start at $2.49 a month. ## What do Hostinger's own pages say about crypto? One row per fact, with the source and its date. Where an article shows no date, we give the “modified” date in its page metadata. | Question | What the source says | Source and date | | --- | --- | --- | | Is crypto accepted? | The payments page lists “a wide range of cryptocurrencies”. It names no coins and no processor. | Hostinger payments page; no date shown | | Which processor? | CoinGate. Hostinger said it planned to support the coins CoinGate offers, for all its locales. | Hostinger blog post, 19 Aug 2021 (updated 11 Apr 2022) | | Where is crypto listed? | Under Global (hostinger.com, USD) and most regional brands. Not listed for Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Morocco, Nigeria, Egypt, Bangladesh, India, Canada and Australia. | Help center, payment methods; modified 29 Oct 2026 | | Are crypto purchases refunded? | No. Products bought with crypto, tokens or digital assets are not refunded. Other payments have a 30-day window. | Refund policy; revised 29 Oct 2026 | | Which coins today? | BTC, ETH, LTC and the CoinGate list, per our survey. Not re-verified. | Survey, 2 Nov 2026 | *Prices checked on November 2, 2026.* ## Does Hostinger ask for ID? **Sometimes, for selected accounts.** Hostinger's help center says it runs identity verification (KYC) on accounts it selects for suspicious activity. You get a request by email, and a banner in the dashboard reminds you until you finish. The article lists a government-issued ID, proof of the suspended domain, business registration if it applies, and proof of address. You have 7 days. After that the account and its active services are suspended, though you can still transfer domains and reach backups. The page metadata shows it was modified on 29 October 2026. Signup itself asks for less. The privacy policy (revised 14 October 2026) names an email address and a password as the minimum. It says name and contact details, including identity verification, may be requested in particular cases such as domain registration. It also says Hostinger collects IP addresses and log data automatically, even if you have no account. Payments can be checked too. A separate article on flagged payments lists triggers such as VPN or proxy use, mismatched billing details and unrecognized devices, and asks for proof such as a card photo or a bank statement. It does not mention crypto. Our survey reads this as “conditional”: email and password at signup, billing details at checkout, mainstream anti-fraud checks possible. The survey did not test a checkout. According to Velumhold's survey of 2 November 2026, Hostinger is one of 8 of the 18 hosts it read whose ID check is conditional, and all 3 of its shared plans renew at 2.6 to 3.4 times their 12-month first-term price. Hosts with no ID step are listed in [web hosting without ID verification](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-without-kyc/ "Can I get web hosting without ID verification?"). ## What is still unknown about Hostinger, crypto and ID? - **Whether crypto changes your odds of an ID request.** Hostinger's pages tie requests to suspicious activity and flagged payments, not to the payment method. - **What CoinGate asks of payers on Hostinger invoices.** CoinGate's glossary says a shopper needs no KYC and gives travel-rule information at checkout, a data step rather than full identity verification. Hostinger does not say whether that applies to its invoices, and the CoinGate page shows no date. - **The current coin list.** The payments page names none. The 2021 post points to CoinGate's list. - **Availability by plan and country.** Payment methods are listed by regional brand, and crypto is missing for some. Plan-level availability is not stated. - **What your checkout will show.** We did not test one. **Until Hostinger says more, treat an ID request as possible whatever you pay with.** ## What do Hostinger's shared hosting plans cost? Hostinger's prices from the survey, with Velumhold's for comparison. | Plan | 1-month term | 12-month term, per month | Renewal, per month | What the plan lists | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Hostinger Premium | $12.19 | $3.99 ($47.88 up front) | $10.99 | 3 websites, 20 GB SSD, weekly backups | | Hostinger Unlimited | $18.99 | $4.99 ($59.88 up front) | $16.99 | Unlimited websites, 50 GB NVMe, daily backups | | Hostinger Cloud Startup | $27.99 | $9.99 ($119.88 up front) | $25.99 | 100 GB NVMe, daily backups | | **Velumhold Tulle** | $3.56 | $2.49 ($29.90 up front) | Same term, at your order price | 1 website, 20 GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, 10 email accounts, 10 databases, daily backups kept 7 days | | **Velumhold Chiffon** | $5.35 | $3.74 ($44.94 up front) | Same term, at your order price | 10 websites, 50 GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, unlimited email accounts, unlimited databases, daily backups kept 14 days | | **Velumhold Velvet** | $7.14 | $4.99 ($59.97 up front) | Same term, at your order price | Unlimited websites, 75 GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, unlimited email accounts, unlimited databases, daily backups kept 30 days | *Prices checked on November 2, 2026.* Hostinger's figures were read on 2 November 2026 with a Black Friday banner live on its page. It states that a plan renews at the listed price for the same term. Its 48-month offer of the day was $2.49 a month for Premium, also renewing at $10.99, and Premium includes a free domain on terms of 12 months or more.

The web server keeps the access logs of your own sites in your account, for you, and you can switch them off | | Which crypto? | A wide range via CoinGate; no list on the payments page | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR; minimum top-up $1 | | Other payment methods? | Cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Alipay | None: crypto only | | Domains? | Registers domains | Domains are not sold here: point a domain you own to the account with two nameservers or an A record | *Prices checked on November 2, 2026.* ## What happens to a crypto payment I want back? At Hostinger, it is not refunded. The refund policy says products bought with cryptocurrencies, tokens or digital assets will not be refunded. The help center adds that the 30-day window covers payments by any method other than crypto. At Velumhold: If we cannot deliver a hosting account, or it goes down and support cannot bring it back, the days it was out of service return to your balance. Balances do not expire. Money on the balance is not paid back out unless the law requires it, with one exception: if part of a top-up was paid only to reach the minimum and is still unspent, ask within 30 days of payment and it comes back in USDT or USDC. ## How else do Hostinger and Velumhold differ? - **Ways to pay.** Hostinger takes cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Alipay as well as crypto. Velumhold takes crypto only. - **A refund window on other payments.** Hostinger refunds within 30 days when you pay by a method other than crypto. At Velumhold: No free trial: the smallest plan, Tulle, costs $3.56 for one month, or $2.49 a month on the yearly term. - **Setup.** We did not measure Hostinger's setup time. At Velumhold: Once your payment is confirmed, a member of the team creates your hosting account within minutes, and within the hour at the very latest; follow its status in the dashboard until the control panel login appears. Both hosts are scored on the same rules in [the best web hosting that accepts crypto](https://velumhold.com/best-web-hosting-that-accepts-crypto/ "What is the best web hosting that accepts crypto?"). ## How do I check before paying Hostinger in crypto? Four checks, all on public pages. 1. **Find your regional brand** — Open the payment-methods article in the Hostinger help center and check that “Crypto payments” is listed for your brand. 2. **Read the refund policy** — A crypto purchase is final. If you are unsure, pay for a shorter term. 3. **Read the identity verification article** — Know what a request looks like and its 7-day deadline. 4. **Watch the checkout** — Note which processor and which coins appear before you send anything. ## Hostinger, crypto and ID: common questions ### Does Hostinger accept crypto? Yes. Its payments page lists a wide range of cryptocurrencies, and a 2021 post names CoinGate. Availability depends on the regional brand, so check yours. ### Does Hostinger require ID? Not for every customer. Its help center says it verifies accounts it selects for suspicious activity, by email, within 7 days. Signup needs an email and a password. ### Can I get a refund from Hostinger if I pay in crypto?

Each account comes with a control panel, NVMe storage, free SSL, email accounts and daily backups, in Reykjavik (Iceland), Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Bucharest (Romania). It is run by DomaineGoat LLC, a company registered in Panama. On the yearly term, each plan is priced at least 25% under a named comparable plan from 3 no-KYC crypto hosts, read on 2 November 2026. --- # How does Velumhold web hosting work, from payment to a live site? > How Velumhold works: you pay in crypto, a person creates your hosting account within the hour, then control panel, SSL, email and backups. No KYC, no logs. - URL: https://velumhold.com/how-we-work/ - Last updated: 2026-11-02 - Publisher: Velumhold (https://velumhold.com) A plain walk-through of what happens between your crypto payment and a website that answers: who does the work, what the panel gives you, what we hold and what we do not. **Quick answer — How does Velumhold web hosting work, from payment to a live site?** **Velumhold** sells private web hosting from $2.49 a month on the yearly term. You top up a crypto balance, order a plan, and a person on the team creates your hosting account within minutes of the confirmed payment, an hour at most. The control panel login then appears in your dashboard. You point your domain to the account and the site is live. No ID is ever asked. ## What happens from payment to a live website? 1. **Top up in crypto** — Choose your plan at checkout, then pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR: the top-up is set to the price of your order. Minimum top-up $1. 2. **Payment credited** — Your balance is credited once the payment is checked on the blockchain, after the network has confirmed it. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min · XMR ≈ 20 min. 3. **A person creates your hosting account** (within 1 h) — Someone on the team creates your account in the location you chose, with WordPress installed if you asked for it, a few minutes after the confirmed payment and no later than an hour after it. Locations: Reykjavik, Amsterdam, Bucharest. 4. **Your control panel login appears** — The panel address, user name and password show in your dashboard. Point your domain to the account and your site is live. `ns1 / ns2 → your domain` ## The short version | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Operator | DomaineGoat LLC, registered in Panama | | Who creates your account | A member of the team, after your payment is confirmed | | Delivery | 1 hour at the latest from the confirmed payment, and in most cases only a few minutes | | Control panel | A web control panel for files, domains, email, databases, SSL certificates and backups | | Support | support@velumhold.com. A person answers support emails within 12 hours, seven days a week, including help with DNS records, WordPress, email accounts and moving a site in | | Abuse reports | abuse@velumhold.com | | Payment | Paid in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR and nothing else, from a balance topped up with $1 or more | | Identity checks | No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number | ## Who creates my hosting account, and how long does it take? **A person on the team creates each hosting account.** Once your payment is confirmed, a member of the team creates your hosting account within minutes, and within the hour at the very latest; follow its status in the dashboard until the control panel login appears. At checkout you pick a plan, a term, a location and a starting point. Pick “WordPress, installed” at checkout and the account arrives with WordPress set up on your domain; pick “Empty account” to upload your own site. That is slower than an automatic checkout, and we say so. The [pricing page](https://velumhold.com/pricing/ "How much does Velumhold web hosting cost?") lists the plans and their terms. ## How do I sign in, and what if I lose my account number? Your account number alone signs you in; an email address is yours to add or to leave out. Nothing asks for a phone number. Keep your account number somewhere safe: whoever holds it holds the account. With an email on file the number can be recovered; with no email, a lost number stays lost. Store the number in a password manager. Nobody from our team will ever ask for your account number, your control panel password or your private SSH key, by email or in a chat. ## What does the control panel give me? You manage everything from a web control panel: files, domains, email accounts, databases, SSL and backups. Give an SSH public key at checkout for SFTP and SSH, or leave it blank; the panel login always comes with the account. The panel address, the user name and the password show in your dashboard once the account exists. ## How do I point my domain to the account? Domains are not sold here: point a domain you own to the account with two nameservers or an A record. Add the domain in the control panel, and change its nameservers or its A record at the place where you bought it. A move from another host is covered in [how to move your website without downtime](https://velumhold.com/move-your-website/ "How do I move my website to a new host without downtime?"). ## How does SSL work? Free SSL certificates (Let’s Encrypt), issued and renewed automatically for every domain on the account. You do not buy, install or renew a certificate by hand. ## How does email work? Email accounts on your own domain with webmail, IMAP and SMTP; outgoing mail is rate-limited to keep spam off the servers. Tulle has 10 email accounts. Chiffon and Velvet have unlimited email accounts. Because outgoing mail is rate-limited, these accounts are for your own correspondence, not for bulk mailing. The records and settings are explained in [email hosting on your own domain](https://velumhold.com/email-hosting-on-your-domain/ "How do I get email on my own domain?"). ## How do backups work? Automatic daily backups of files and databases, kept for 7 to 30 days depending on the plan; restore one from the control panel or ask support. Tulle keeps its backups for 7 days, Chiffon for 14 days and Velvet for 30 days. A backup on the same account is not a second copy of your site, so keep one of your own for anything you cannot lose. ## How do I move an existing site in? Moving an existing site in is free: send support a backup or the old host’s login and the team copies it over. Write to support@velumhold.com with the backup or the old login. A person answers within 12 hours. ## What do we hold, and what do we not hold? We hold only what billing and running your account need: the account number and an email if you add one; every top-up and order (amount, coin, network, transaction ID, date); and per hosting account its plan, term, location, starting point, SSH public key if you gave one, and dates. No record leaves us without an order from a Panamanian court. We keep no logs of who you are: no connection records of the dashboard and no IP addresses of customers. The web server keeps the access logs of your own sites in your account, for you, and you can switch them off. No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number. The full list is in the [privacy policy](https://velumhold.com/privacy/ "Privacy Policy"). ## Which law applies to Velumhold? Velumhold belongs to DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama that answers to Panamanian law alone. Each datacenter that houses our servers is bound by the law of the country it sits in. DMCA notices and other foreign copyright notices get no response from us; we answer only to Panamanian law and to the orders of Panamanian courts. The rules you accept are in the [terms of service](https://velumhold.com/terms/ "Terms of Service") and the [acceptable use policy](https://velumhold.com/acceptable-use/ "Acceptable Use Policy"). ## How are abuse reports handled? Reports go to abuse@velumhold.com. Foreign copyright notices are set aside; only Panamanian law and Panamanian court orders count. Spam, phishing, malware, botnet command, attacks, fraud and child sexual abuse material are banned and lead to suspension. Each rule is spelled out in the [acceptable use policy](https://velumhold.com/acceptable-use/ "Acceptable Use Policy"). ## What happens when a term ends? You prepay each hosting account from a crypto balance for a term of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 12 months, chosen at checkout. With auto-renew, the same term is charged again at your original price, unless you pick another term for the next renewal in the dashboard; if the balance cannot cover it, the sites stop when the term ends, the files are kept for 7 days and then deleted. Your balance has no expiry date and pays for any of your hosting accounts. It is not paid back out unless the law requires it; the one exception is the unspent part of a top-up made only to reach the minimum, which returns in USDT or USDC if you ask within 30 days of payment. **A renewal keeps the price of your order.** Hosts that print a renewal price do otherwise: according to Velumhold's survey of 2 November 2026, all 14 plans at the 5 hosts that print both a first-term and a renewal price renew higher. ## What are the honest limits? What Velumhold does not do: - **No one-click setup:** a person creates each account, so expect minutes after the confirmed payment (an hour at most), not seconds. - **No free trial:** the smallest plan, Tulle, costs $3.56 for one month. - **No domains for sale:** you bring a domain you own. - **Limited outgoing email:** outgoing mail is rate-limited to keep spam off the servers. - **No uptime percentage:** we publish none. If an account goes down and support cannot bring it back, the days out of service return to your balance. - **Crypto only:** payment is in crypto and nothing else: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR. ## How we work: common questions ### When will my hosting account be ready after I pay? Once your payment is confirmed, a member of the team creates your hosting account within minutes, and within the hour at the very latest; follow its status in the dashboard until the control panel login appears. Your coin's network confirmations come first and add to that wait. ### Do you ever ask for identity documents? Never. No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number. An account is a number, and giving an email is up to you. ### What happens when I stop adding funds to my balance? You prepay each hosting account from a crypto balance for a term of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 12 months, chosen at checkout. With auto-renew, the same term is charged again at your original price, unless you pick another term for the next renewal in the dashboard; if the balance cannot cover it, the sites stop when the term ends, the files are kept for 7 days and then deleted. ### Can I restore a backup myself? Yes. Automatic daily backups of files and databases, kept for 7 to 30 days depending on the plan; restore one from the control panel or ask support. ### Does Velumhold keep logs? We keep no logs of who you are: no connection records of the dashboard and no IP addresses of customers. The web server keeps the access logs of your own sites in your account, for you, and you can switch them off. The records that are kept are listed in the [privacy policy](https://velumhold.com/privacy/ "Privacy Policy"). --- Velumhold: Velumhold is private web hosting for websites and WordPress, paid in crypto with no KYC: no ID, no selfie, no card.

GDPR applies via the EEA; 70% of power is hydro. Velumhold: Reykjavik from $2.49/month, no KYC, crypto. - URL: https://velumhold.com/iceland-web-hosting/ - Last updated: 2026-11-02 - Publisher: Velumhold (https://velumhold.com) What Icelandic law, EEA membership, the 2010 IMMI resolution and the power grid mean for a website, which hosts sit in Iceland, and where Velumhold fits. **Quick answer — Is Iceland a good place to host a website?** Iceland can be a good place to host a website. The GDPR applies there through the EEA, about 70% of its electricity comes from hydropower and 30% from geothermal plants, and the climate is cool. **Velumhold** hosts in Reykjavik at the same price as Amsterdam and Bucharest, from $2.49 a month, paid in crypto with no KYC. Icelandic law is not a legal shield. ## Iceland hosting at a glance | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Status | EEA EFTA State, outside the European Union | | Data protection | The GDPR in force since 20 July 2018 through the EEA; Act No. 90/2018 in force since 15 July 2018 | | Electricity | About 70% hydropower and 30% geothermal (S&P Global Ratings, September 2025) | | Surveyed hosts in Iceland | 3 of 18: 1984 Hosting, OrangeWebsite and FlokiNET | | Velumhold locations | Reykjavik (Iceland), Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Bucharest (Romania): every plan in every location, at the same price | | ID at signup | No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number | ## What does Icelandic data protection law say? Iceland applies the GDPR. EFTA states that the regulation entered into force in Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway on 20 July 2018. Iceland’s own Act No. 90/2018 on Data Protection and the Processing of Personal Data came into force on 15 July 2018, according to the law firm Linklaters. The Icelandic Data Protection Authority supervises it. For a site owner this means one thing. In Iceland, as in EU countries, the GDPR governs how personal data is processed, for example visitors’ IP addresses and contact-form entries. **The law protects people’s data. It does not protect a site’s content from a court.** ## Is Iceland in the EU? No. The EEA is made up of the EU member states and three EEA EFTA States: Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. The EEA Agreement entered into force on 1 January 1994. That is why Velumhold labels Reykjavik “EEA, outside the European Union” and labels Amsterdam and Bucharest “European Union”. ## What is the IMMI resolution of 2010, and what is it not? IMMI is the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative. On 16 June 2010 the Althingi, Iceland’s parliament, passed it as a parliamentary resolution. It tasked the government with finding ways to strengthen freedom of expression and information in Iceland, with strong protection for sources and whistleblowers. **What it is:** a mandate to prepare laws. The IMMI site said at least 10 laws in 4 ministries had to change, and that this would take a few years. **What it is not:** a law that protects hosted websites, or a promise that requests are ignored. The surveyed Icelandic hosts say they follow Icelandic courts. OrangeWebsite says it complies fully with takedown requests granted by Icelandic courts. 1984 Hosting says it hands over customer data only on a valid court order. Velumhold makes no legal promise about what Icelandic law does for your site. ## Does Iceland run on renewable energy? On the national grid, yes. S&P Global Ratings said in September 2025 that Iceland makes most of its electricity from renewable sources, about 70% from hydropower and 30% from geothermal plants. The Government of Iceland’s 2023 financing framework puts renewable electricity at 99.98%, citing production data for 2020. Two cautions. First, that is the national grid. It says nothing about the power mix of the datacenter that holds your server, and Velumhold does not publish that. Second, power is not unlimited. S&P notes that low water levels in the reservoirs that feed hydro plants caused shortages in 2024 and forced aluminum smelters to cut output for a few months. S&P also says relatively cheap energy and a cool climate are driving a sharp rise in data center investment in Iceland. ## Which web hosts in the survey are in Iceland? According to Velumhold's survey of 2 November 2026, 3 of the 18 hosts it read list an Icelandic location, and only one of them, FlokiNET, also offers servers outside Iceland. | Host | Where it hosts | Entry shared plan, per month | Crypto accepted | ID at signup | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Velumhold | Reykjavik, Amsterdam and Bucharest, same price in each | $2.49 on the yearly term; $3.56 month to month | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR | None | | 1984 Hosting | Reykjavik only | $2.95 on a 12-month term, then $19.83 at renewal; not sold monthly | BTC, XMR | None found | | OrangeWebsite | Iceland | Bronze: $4.20 on a 12-month term; 1 website, 1 GB | BTC, LTC, ETH, BCH, XMR via BitPay and CoinPayments | May ask | | FlokiNET | Iceland, Romania, Netherlands and Finland | 10 GB plan (Iceland I, Romania I, Netherlands I): $5.03 at the Iceland location, $3.91 in Romania or the Netherlands, month to month, plus a EUR 5 setup fee | BTC, LTC, XMR, USDT and many more | None found | *Prices checked on November 2, 2026.* FlokiNET’s prices are converted from euros at the ECB rate of 30 October 2026. OrangeWebsite publishes no separate renewal price. The other 15 hosts in the survey list no Icelandic location, or the survey could not verify their locations. The [price index](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-price-index/ "How much does web hosting cost with crypto in 2026?") has all 18. ## What are the limits of hosting in Iceland? - **Not a legal shield.** Icelandic hosts follow Icelandic court orders, as shown above. - **Price.** At FlokiNET, the Iceland location costs more than Romania or the Netherlands. At Velumhold the price is the same in every location. - **Local rules.** FlokiNET’s acceptable use policy bars adult content at its Iceland location. 1984 Hosting does not offer its crypto option to users who appear to be in Iceland, because of tax rules. - **Distance.** Pick the location nearest to most of your visitors. Read the [acceptable use policy](https://velumhold.com/acceptable-use/ "Acceptable Use Policy") before you build. ## Which plan, for how long, and where? Reykjavik is preselected.

Every plan and rental length is priced in [the pricing table](https://velumhold.com/pricing/ "How much does Velumhold web hosting cost?"). ## Which Velumhold location should I choose? Reykjavik (Iceland), Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Bucharest (Romania): every plan in every location, at the same price. Reykjavik sits in an EEA country outside the EU. Amsterdam and Bucharest sit in EU countries. Choose by where most of your visitors are, and by which country’s law you prefer for the datacenter. How the company handles requests is in [how we work](https://velumhold.com/how-we-work/ "How does Velumhold web hosting work, from payment to a live site?"); what “private” covers is in [what is private web hosting](https://velumhold.com/what-is-private-web-hosting/ "What is private web hosting, and what does it hide?"). ## Iceland web hosting: common questions ### Is Iceland in the EU? No. Iceland is an EEA EFTA State, with Liechtenstein and Norway. It applies the GDPR through the EEA Agreement. ### Does hosting in Iceland make my site GDPR compliant? No host can do that for you. The GDPR applies in Iceland through the EEA, but compliance depends on what your site does with visitors’ data. ### Does the IMMI resolution protect my website? No. It is a 2010 parliamentary resolution that tasked the government with preparing laws. It is not a law that shields hosted sites. ### Does Velumhold host in Iceland? Yes, in Reykjavik, as well as Amsterdam and Bucharest. Reykjavik (Iceland), Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Bucharest (Romania): every plan in every location, at the same price. ### Is hosting in Iceland more expensive? Not at Velumhold: every plan costs the same in every location, from $2.49 a month on the yearly term. At FlokiNET the Iceland location costs more than Romania or the Netherlands. **Host in Reykjavik with no ID check** Tulle, Chiffon and Velvet start at $2.49 a month on the yearly term, in Reykjavik, Amsterdam or Bucharest.

Velumhold moves your site in free. No KYC, paid in crypto. - URL: https://velumhold.com/move-your-website/ - Last updated: 2026-11-02 - Publisher: Velumhold (https://velumhold.com) Copy first, test, then switch DNS while the old host keeps running. Eight steps, plus WordPress details and what to do about email and SSL. **Quick answer — How do I move my website to a new host without downtime?** A move without downtime takes 8 steps: copy the files and database to the new host, test the copy, lower the DNS TTL ahead of time, switch DNS, then keep the old host running until caches expire. **Velumhold** moves an existing site in for free, from $2.49 a month on the yearly term, with no KYC and payment in crypto. ## What are the 8 steps to move a website without downtime? 1. **Back up everything** — Download all the files and export every database. Keep this copy away from the old host. 2. **Lower the TTL** — At your DNS host, set the TTL of the A record and the MX records to 300 seconds. Do it at least one old TTL before the switch. 3. **Set up the new account** — Order the new plan first. The old site keeps running meanwhile. Once your payment is confirmed, a member of the team creates your hosting account within minutes, and within the hour at the very latest; follow its status in the dashboard until the control panel login appears. 4. **Copy the files and the database** — Upload the files, import the database dump and update the database name, user and password in your site's config file. You manage everything from a web control panel: files, domains, email accounts, databases, SSL and backups. Give an SSH public key at checkout for SFTP and SSH, or leave it blank; the panel login always comes with the account. 5. **Test the copy** — Point your own computer at the new server with the hosts file and browse the site. Nobody else is affected. 6. **Freeze, then sync once more** — Pause changes on the old site (orders, comments, posts). Copy the files and the database one last time. 7. **Switch DNS** — Change the A record, or the nameservers, to the new host. Domains are not sold here: point a domain you own to the account with two nameservers or an A record. 8. **Check, then raise the TTL** — Check the padlock, forms, redirects and mail. Raise the TTL again once everything works, and keep the old host until the old TTL has run out. ## Why does DNS cause downtime, and how does TTL help? **DNS answers are cached, and the TTL says for how long: lower it before the move, not during it.** A TTL is the time interval that a record may be cached before the source should be consulted again (RFC 1035, section 3.2.1). A visitor whose resolver holds the old answer keeps reaching the old server until it expires. Amazon's Route 53 documentation says a longer TTL makes changes take longer to take effect. For a record already in use, it advises a shorter value first, such as 300 seconds, and a higher value once the new settings are confirmed. So lower the TTL at least one old TTL before the switch. If it was one day, do it a day early. The old host must keep serving the site until then. ## How do I test the new site before switching DNS? **Edit the hosts file on your own computer.** It maps a name to an IP address, and Windows checks it before it asks DNS (Microsoft Learn). Add a line with the new server's IP address and your domain, then open the site. You see the new server, and everyone else still sees the old one. Remove the line when you are done. On Windows the hosts file needs administrator rights to save. On Linux it is `/etc/hosts`. If you cannot find the new server's address, ask support. A person answers support emails within 12 hours, seven days a week, including help with DNS records, WordPress, email accounts and moving a site in. *Example hosts file line (documentation address)* ```text 203.0.113.25 yourdomain.com www.yourdomain.com ``` ## How do I copy a database to the new host? **Export the database to a file, import it on the new account, then fix the config.** The `mysqldump` tool makes a logical backup: SQL statements that rebuild the tables and the data (MySQL reference manual). The manual notes it is not meant as a fast or scalable way to back up large amounts of data, so allow time for a big database. *Export a MySQL database* ```bash mysqldump -u DBUSER -p DBNAME > backup.sql ``` ## What changes when I move a WordPress site? WordPress needs three extra checks. - **Back up everything.** The WordPress directory, images, plugins and the database (WordPress developer documentation). - **Keep the database and URLs the same if you can.** Then copying the files and the database is enough. If the database name, user or password changes, edit `wp-config.php`. - **If the domain changes, use WP-CLI.** A blanket search and replace can break serialized data. `wp search-replace` handles serialized data, and `--dry-run` shows the result without saving it. Pick “WordPress, installed” at checkout and the account arrives with WordPress set up on your domain; pick “Empty account” to upload your own site. For a move, send support a backup. See [WordPress hosting with crypto](https://velumhold.com/wordpress-hosting-with-crypto/ "Where can I get WordPress hosting paid in crypto?"). ## What about email during a move? **Move the mailboxes and the MX records separately from the website.** Mail arrives wherever the MX record points (RFC 5321, section 5.1), and senders cache that answer like any other, so lower the MX TTL too. 1. Create the mailboxes on the new account first. 2. Add the old and the new mailbox to a mail app over IMAP and copy the messages across (RFC 9051). 3. Switch the MX records last. 4. Update SPF, DKIM and DMARC for the new server. The records are explained in [email on your own domain](https://velumhold.com/email-hosting-on-your-domain/ "How do I get email on my own domain?"). ## What about the SSL certificate after the switch? **A certificate can be issued once the domain reaches the new server.** Let's Encrypt checks a domain by fetching a file from `http://yourdomain.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/` on port 80 (the HTTP-01 check). Wildcard certificates need the DNS-01 check instead. Free SSL certificates (Let’s Encrypt), issued and renewed automatically for every domain on the account. After the switch, open the site over https and check the padlock. If it is missing, write to support. ## How does Velumhold's free move-in work? **Moving an existing site in is free: send support a backup or the old host’s login and the team copies it over.** Before a renewal, compare: according to Velumhold's survey of 2 November 2026, all 14 plans at the 5 hosts that print both a first-term and a renewal price renew higher ([why web hosting costs more when it renews](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-renewal-prices/ "Why does web hosting cost more when it renews?")). Order first. Once your payment is confirmed, a member of the team creates your hosting account within minutes, and within the hour at the very latest; follow its status in the dashboard until the control panel login appears. Your old host keeps serving the site until you switch DNS, so there is no gap. No setup fee is added: the price of the term you pick is what you pay, at the first order and again at each renewal. You sign in with an account number and pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR. No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number. Plans start at $2.49 a month on the yearly term: see the [pricing page](https://velumhold.com/pricing/ "How much does Velumhold web hosting cost?"). ## Velumhold plans, price per month Free move-in on every plan.

The rest of a balance is not paid out unless the law requires it. - Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain.

Not if you copy first and switch DNS last. Visitors whose resolvers still hold the old answer reach the old host, and the others reach the new one. Both must serve the same content during that window. ### How long does a DNS change take? A resolver may keep the old answer for up to the old TTL (RFC 1035). With a TTL lowered to 300 seconds in advance, that is about five minutes. ### Does Velumhold move my site for free? Yes. Moving an existing site in is free: send support a backup or the old host’s login and the team copies it over. ### Can I move a WordPress site without a plugin? Yes. If the database and URLs stay the same, copying the files and the database is enough. Update `wp-config.php` if the database details change, and use WP-CLI search-replace if the URL changes. ### Can I keep my domain where it is? Yes. Domains are not sold here: point a domain you own to the account with two nameservers or an A record. ## Sources 1.

The table shows what the account holds and what it costs. The list under it applies to every plan. | Plan | What the account holds | Per month, yearly term | Month to month | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Tulle | 1 website, 20 GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, 10 email accounts, 10 databases, daily backups kept 7 days | $2.49 | $3.56 | | Chiffon | 10 websites, 50 GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, unlimited email accounts, unlimited databases, daily backups kept 14 days | $3.74 | $5.35 | | Velvet | Unlimited websites, 75 GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, unlimited email accounts, unlimited databases, daily backups kept 30 days | $4.99 | $7.14 | **In every plan:** - **Control panel:** A web control panel for files, domains, email, databases, SSL certificates and backups. - **Storage:** NVMe SSD storage on every plan. - **SSL:** Free SSL certificates (Let’s Encrypt), issued and renewed automatically for every domain on the account. - **Email:** Email accounts on your own domain with webmail, IMAP and SMTP; outgoing mail is rate-limited to keep spam off the servers. - **Backups:** Automatic daily backups of files and databases, kept for 7 to 30 days depending on the plan; restore one from the control panel or ask support. - **WordPress:** Pick “WordPress, installed” at checkout and the account arrives with WordPress set up on your domain; pick “Empty account” to upload your own site. - **Moving in:** Moving an existing site in is free: send support a backup or the old host’s login and the team copies it over. ## Which hosting plan do I need? **Tulle fits one website, Chiffon up to ten, and Velvet puts no cap on the number of websites.** Storage grows from 20 GB on Tulle to 50 GB on Chiffon and 75 GB on Velvet. Tulle has 10 email accounts and 10 databases. Chiffon and Velvet have unlimited email accounts and unlimited databases. Backups are kept for 7 days on Tulle, 14 days on Chiffon and 30 days on Velvet. If you need root access, or software that a shared account cannot run, read [shared hosting or a VPS: which one do I need?](https://velumhold.com/shared-hosting-vs-vps/ "Shared hosting or a VPS: which one do I need?") ## How does billing work? **You prepay each hosting account for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months at a time, and a longer term costs less per month.** Pay for 1 month, 3 months (10% off), 6 months (20% off) or 12 months (30% off) at a time: a longer term costs the monthly price times 3, 6 or 12, less its discount, rounded down to the cent (Chiffon: $14.44 for 3 months, $25.68 for 6 months, $44.94 for 12 months). A renewal repeats your term at the price you ordered at, unless you set a different term for the next renewal from your dashboard. *Each term is paid at once from your balance. A longer term is the monthly price times 3, 6 or 12, less its discount, rounded down to the cent.* | Plan | 1 month | 3 months (10% off) | 6 months (20% off) | 12 months (30% off) | Per month on 12 months | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Tulle | $3.56 | $9.61 | $17.08 | $29.90 | $2.49 | | Chiffon | $5.35 | $14.44 | $25.68 | $44.94 | $3.74 | | Velvet | $7.14 | $19.27 | $34.27 | $59.97 | $4.99 | **At renewal, the same term is charged again at the price of your order.** You can pick another term for the next renewal in the dashboard. If the balance cannot cover it, the sites stop when the term ends, the files are kept for 7 days and then deleted. Some hosts raise the price when the first term ends; the dated figures are in [why web hosting costs more when it renews](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-renewal-prices/ "Why does web hosting cost more when it renews?"). ## How is the Velumhold price set? **On the yearly term, each Velumhold plan is priced at least 25% under a named comparable plan from three no-KYC crypto hosts, read on 2 November 2026.** We do not claim to be the cheapest at every size. According to Velumhold's survey of 2 November 2026, 3 of the 18 hosts it read take crypto, ask for no ID at signup and state their storage: FlokiNET, IncogNET and Packetra. Their shared plans set the reference. The rule in full: On the yearly term, each plan is priced at least 25% under a named reference plan (prices read on 2 November 2026): Tulle against IncogNET's “CloudLinux Starter” at $3.33 a month; Chiffon against IncogNET's “CloudLinux Standard” at $5.00 a month; Velvet against IncogNET's “CloudLinux Professional” at $6.67 a month. The reference is the comparable hosting plan with the smallest price among 3 hosts that accept crypto and ask for no ID at signup (FlokiNET, IncogNET, Packetra): at least as many websites and as much storage, compared at the price a customer keeps paying (the best term up to 12 months, at its renewal price when the first term is a promotion, with any setup fee spread over 12 months). 1984 Hosting, which also asks for no ID, does not state its storage, so it is not compared. The table shows the reference plan for each of our plans. All 18 hosts we checked, with their renewal prices, are in the [web hosting price index](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-price-index/ "How much does web hosting cost with crypto in 2026?"). ### What is the reference plan for each Velumhold plan? *Monthly price a customer keeps paying: the best term up to 12 months, at its renewal price when the first term is a promotion, with any setup fee spread over 12 months. Each reference plan has at least as many websites and as much storage as the Velumhold plan beside it.* | Plan | Velumhold, yearly term, per month | Reference plan, per month | Host and plan | Velumhold is lower by | Hosts with a comparable plan | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Tulle | $2.49 | about $3.33 | IncogNET, CloudLinux Starter | 25% | 3 | | Chiffon | $3.74 | about $5.00 | IncogNET, CloudLinux Standard | 25% | 2 | | Velvet | $4.99 | about $6.67 | IncogNET, CloudLinux Professional | 25% | 2 | *Prices checked on November 2, 2026.* IncogNET's figures come from an archived copy of its page dated 17 October 2026, because its live page could not be read on 2 November 2026. Its renewal price is assumed to equal its listed price, so the amounts are approximate. ## What is not charged, and what is not included? **No setup fee is added: the price of the term you pick is what you pay, at the first order and again at each renewal.** Not charged on any plan: - **Setup:** nothing to pay to open the account. - **SSL certificates:** free, issued and renewed for you. - **Moving a site in:** free. Send support a backup or the old host’s login, and the team copies the site over. - **Bandwidth:** unmetered on every plan. Not part of the price: - **Domain names:** not sold here. Point a domain you own to the account with two nameservers or an A record. - **A free trial:** none. The smallest plan, Tulle, costs $3.56 for one month, or $2.49 a month on the yearly term. - **Automated delivery:** a member of the team creates each account by hand, within minutes of the confirmed payment and an hour at most. - **Unlimited sending:** outgoing email is rate-limited, to keep spam off the servers. ## Where can my hosting account run? **Every plan runs in all three locations at the same price.** The locations are Reykjavik (Iceland), Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Bucharest (Romania). Reykjavik is in the EEA, outside the European Union. Amsterdam and Bucharest are inside it. You pick the location at checkout. The Icelandic option is covered in [is Iceland a good place to host a website?](https://velumhold.com/iceland-web-hosting/ "Is Iceland a good place to host a website?") ## How do I pay for hosting? **You pay in crypto, from a prepaid balance.** The accepted coins are BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR. The minimum top-up is $1. Each incoming payment whose sending address shows on its blockchain is checked against public sanctions lists of blockchain addresses, and a payment from a listed address is never credited. A Monero payment keeps its sending address out of view, so this list check cannot cover it. At no point are you asked for a name, an ID or a card. Each coin is walked through in [how to pay for web hosting with Bitcoin](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-with-bitcoin/ "How do I pay for web hosting with Bitcoin?") and [with USDT](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-with-usdt/ "How do I pay for web hosting with USDT (TRC-20 or ERC-20)?"). ## How does paying for hosting in crypto work? You sign in with an account number, top up in crypto and order the plan from your balance. A person on the team then creates the hosting account. 1. **Top up $1 or more** — Choose the amount and the coin (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR). The crypto amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes. 2. **Send it to the address shown, on the exact network** — The payment page shows our deposit address for the coin and network you picked: BTC on Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, LTC on Litecoin, XMR on Monero. Send only that coin on that network: funds sent on another network or in another coin can’t be recovered. The network fee comes on top of the amount. 3. **Send the exact amount shown, then click “I’ve sent the payment”** — Each top-up has its own exact amount (down to the last decimals): that is how we find your payment and link it to your account. 4. **Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain** — Your balance is credited once we have checked the transaction on the blockchain, after the network has confirmed it. Typical network confirmation times: 5. **Get your hosting account** — Pick a plan, a term, a location and a starting point (WordPress or an empty account), and the top-up is set to the price of that term. Once the payment is confirmed, a person creates your account within minutes (an hour at most) and the control panel login appears in your dashboard. Credit on your balance does not expire and renews any of your hosting accounts. When a top-up is only made to reach the minimum, the unspent part comes back on request within 30 days of payment, in USDT or USDC. The rest of a balance is not paid out unless the law requires it. | Crypto | Network | Confirmations | Usual time | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Bitcoin (BTC) | Bitcoin | 2 | ≈ 20 min | | Tether (USDT) | Tron (TRC-20) | 20 | ≈ 1 min | | Tether (USDT) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | USD Coin (USDC) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Ethereum (ETH) | Ethereum | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Solana (SOL) | Solana | 1 | ≈ 1 min | | Litecoin (LTC) | Litecoin | 6 | ≈ 15 min | | Monero (XMR) | Monero | 10 | ≈ 20 min | Closed the tab? The pending top-up stays under Billing in your account: open it to see the address and the exact amount again. ## What else do buyers ask about Velumhold prices? ### Does the price go up when my hosting renews? No. With auto-renew, the same term is charged again at your original price. You can pick another term for the next renewal in the dashboard. Tulle on the yearly term stays at $29.90 for the year. ### Does the price change with the location? No. Chiffon costs $5.35 a month in Reykjavik, Amsterdam and Bucharest alike. Pick the country for its distance to your visitors, not for its price. ### What happens if my balance runs out? You prepay each hosting account from a crypto balance for a term of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 12 months, chosen at checkout. With auto-renew, the same term is charged again at your original price, unless you pick another term for the next renewal in the dashboard; if the balance cannot cover it, the sites stop when the term ends, the files are kept for 7 days and then deleted. ### Can I try a plan for free, or get my money back? No free trial: the smallest plan, Tulle, costs $3.56 for one month, or $2.49 a month on the yearly term. If we cannot deliver an account, or it goes down and support cannot bring it back, the days out of service return to your balance. The [refund policy](https://velumhold.com/refunds/ "Refund Policy") covers each case. ### Why is Velumhold cheaper than other no-KYC crypto hosts? Each plan is priced at least 25% under a named comparable plan from three no-KYC crypto hosts, read on 2 November 2026. Tulle costs $2.49 a month, against about $3.33 at IncogNET. The trade-offs are stated: a person creates each account (within the hour after payment), there is no free trial, and domains are not sold here. ### Does ordering require an ID or an email address? No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number. Your account number alone signs you in; an email address is yours to add or to leave out. ## Sources 1.

Web hosting, no KYC, crypto. - URL: https://velumhold.com/privacy/ - Last updated: 2026-11-02 - Publisher: Velumhold (https://velumhold.com) The records Velumhold keeps to run your hosting account, the logs it does not write, and the single case in which records are handed over. **Quick answer — What does Velumhold keep about its customers?** We hold only what billing and running your account need: the account number and an email if you add one; every top-up and order (amount, coin, network, transaction ID, date); and per hosting account its plan, term, location, starting point, SSH public key if you gave one, and dates. No record leaves us without an order from a Panamanian court. Your account holds an email address only when you choose to add one. No identity check takes place. ## 1. Who controls your data Velumhold is operated by DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama, which decides how the data on this page is used. It is also the seller in the [terms of service](https://velumhold.com/terms/ "Terms of Service"). Send privacy questions to support@velumhold.com. ## 2. What "no logs" covers We keep no logs of who you are: no connection records of the dashboard and no IP addresses of customers. The web server keeps the access logs of your own sites in your account, for you, and you can switch them off. The datacenter that holds each server runs its own network equipment, under the law of its own country. Velumhold does not control that equipment. ## 3. The records we keep Each record below exists because billing or running a hosting account needs it. The last column shows where it comes from. | What we hold | Why | Comes from | | --- | --- | --- | | Account number | Your login; it links your orders, balance and hosting accounts | Created with the account | | Email address, only if you add one | A way back in if the account number is lost | Added by you, if you want it | | Each top-up and order: amount, coin, network, transaction ID (TXID) and date | Matching the payment on the blockchain before crediting it, and billing the term | Your payment and the public blockchain | | Per hosting account: its plan, term, location, starting point (WordPress or an empty account) and dates | Creating, renewing and billing the account | Your order and the team's work on it | | SSH public key, if you give one | Put in place so that you can use SSH and SFTP | Pasted by you at checkout | ## 4. What we never ask for - No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number. - Card or bank details: we take crypto and nothing else, so there is nothing of that kind to ask. - Nobody from our team will ever ask for your account number, your control panel password or your private SSH key, by email or in a chat. ## 5. Crypto payments and public blockchains A payment in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL or LTC is public by design: its amount, its time and the addresses on both sides sit on a blockchain anyone can read. A top-up's transaction ID therefore links it to the past activity of the wallet that sent it. Monero is the exception: a public explorer shows neither the sender nor the amount of a Monero payment. We keep the same billing record for it as for any top-up, so your account stays linked to its orders, the server IPs of its hosting accounts and the transaction ID you declared. Each incoming payment whose sending address shows on its blockchain is checked against public sanctions lists of blockchain addresses, and a payment from a listed address is never credited. A Monero payment keeps its sending address out of view, so this list check cannot cover it. No bank and no card network stands between you and us when you pay. Each step is shown in [how to pay for web hosting with Bitcoin](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-with-bitcoin/ "How do I pay for web hosting with Bitcoin?"). ## 6. The optional email address An email address is never needed to open or to use an account. Keep your account number somewhere safe: whoever holds it holds the account. With an email on file the number can be recovered; with no email, a lost number stays lost. When you write to support, your address and your message reach us so that we can reply. ## 7. Your own websites The access logs of your own sites stay in your account, for you, as section 2 says. If your sites collect personal data from their visitors, you decide how that data is used and you answer for it. ## 8. How records are used and who receives them The records above exist because billing and running your account need them. A record is released to someone else only under a Panamanian court order. DMCA notices and other foreign copyright notices get no response from us; we answer only to Panamanian law and to the orders of Panamanian courts. ## 9. How long files are kept You prepay each hosting account from a crypto balance for a term of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 12 months, chosen at checkout. With auto-renew, the same term is charged again at your original price, unless you pick another term for the next renewal in the dashboard; if the balance cannot cover it, the sites stop when the term ends, the files are kept for 7 days and then deleted. ## 10. Your choices No email address is needed to use Velumhold. To ask about your account's data, email support@velumhold.com and name the domain of the hosting account; leave the account number out. ## 11. Security The account number is the key to your account, so a password manager is the right place for it. Your private SSH key belongs on your own device, and nobody at Velumhold needs it. The page on [web hosting without KYC](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-without-kyc/ "Can I get web hosting without ID verification?") lists what an order does and does not require. ## 12.

No KYC. - URL: https://velumhold.com/refunds/ - Last updated: 2026-11-02 - Publisher: Velumhold (https://velumhold.com) The two cases in which Velumhold credits days on a hosting account, the one part of a top-up that can be paid back in crypto, and the way to claim either. **Quick answer — Does Velumhold refund web hosting?** Yes, in the cases this page lists. If we cannot deliver a hosting account, or it goes down and support cannot bring it back, the days it was out of service return to your balance. Balances do not expire. Money on the balance is not paid back out unless the law requires it, with one exception: if part of a top-up was paid only to reach the minimum and is still unspent, ask within 30 days of payment and it comes back in USDT or USDC. Credited days land on your Velumhold balance, and asking for them takes no KYC. ## 1. In which cases are days credited back? A credit is owed in exactly two cases: - **We cannot deliver the hosting account.** For example, we cannot create it after your payment is confirmed. No account is made, and the days you paid for return to your balance. - **The account goes down and support cannot bring it back.** Every day it was out of service returns to your balance. A day is worth the price of the term divided by the number of days in it, so one thirtieth of the price for a 1-month term. Here is how that rule plays out in the situations we see most. | Situation | Outcome | | --- | --- | | You order a plan and we cannot create the account | No account is made. The whole price stays on your balance, ready for another plan or location. | | Your account is ready within the hour after the confirmed payment | Nothing to credit: this is the normal delivery time. | | Your account on a 1-month term goes down for 6 of its 30 days, and support cannot bring it back | The 6 days return to your balance: 6/30 of the price of the term. | | Your account goes down and support brings it back | No credit under this policy: it applies when support cannot bring the account back. | | You stop using the account in the middle of a term | No credit. The term is paid. | | Your account is suspended for breaking the acceptable use policy | No credit: suspensions for breaking the rules fall outside the two cases. | | The term ends and the balance cannot cover the next one | The sites stop, the files are kept for 7 days, then deleted. Nothing more is charged, and nothing is credited. | ## 2. Where do credited days end up? Once support confirms the case, it adds the credit, in US dollars, to your Velumhold balance. Credit on your balance does not expire and renews any of your hosting accounts. You can spend that balance on any plan from the [pricing page](https://velumhold.com/pricing/ "How much does Velumhold web hosting cost?"), in any location. ## 3. Which part of a top-up can come back to you in crypto? Yes, one part: the amount paid only to reach the $1 minimum. If you ask within 30 days of the payment and that amount has not been spent, we send it back in USDT or USDC. The rest of any top-up stays as balance, and it is paid out only where the law requires it. That part exists when what an order still needs, after your balance, is less than the minimum top-up. You then top up the minimum, and the difference between the minimum and what the order needed is the part paid only to reach it. | Top-up | Paid back to you in USDT or USDC | | --- | --- | | The minimum, made to cover the last few cents of an order | The difference between the minimum and what the order still needed, if you ask within 30 days and have not spent it. | | More than the minimum, to pay a larger order | Nothing: the whole amount was needed for the order. | | A top-up made without ordering anything | Nothing: all of it is regular balance, and it does not expire. | | The same difference, already spent on a renewal | Nothing: the amount must be unspent. | | A request sent 45 days after paying | Nothing: the 30 days have passed, and the money stays on the balance as credit. | ## 4. How do I claim a refund? Refund requests are made by email alone, and not one of them asks for ID or documents. 1. **Email support** — Write to support@velumhold.com with "Refund request" as the subject. If your account has an email address, write from that one. 2. **Point to the payment** — Give the domain name of the hosting account and the payment's transaction ID (TXID). Leave your account number out. Nobody from our team will ever ask for your account number, your control panel password or your private SSH key, by email or in a chat. 3. **Say what you are claiming** — For days of an account that went down, describe the outage. For the minimum top-up part, add the USDT or USDC address that should receive it, with its network. 4. **Wait for the reply** — A person answers support emails within 12 hours, seven days a week, including help with DNS records, WordPress, email accounts and moving a site in. ## 5. What cannot be refunded? - Money on your balance from top-ups, apart from the minimum part in section 3 or a payout the law requires. - Unused days of a term you stop using. - Days of an account suspended under the [acceptable use policy](https://velumhold.com/acceptable-use/ "Acceptable Use Policy"). - Files deleted after the 7 days, once a term has ended without a renewal. - Blockchain fees paid on your transfers. - Payments from addresses on sanctions lists: they are not credited. - Coins sent to the wrong address or on the wrong network, since nobody can reverse a blockchain transfer. ## 6. Is there a free trial? No free trial: the smallest plan, Tulle, costs $3.56 for one month, or $2.49 a month on the yearly term. No setup fee is added: the price of the term you pick is what you pay, at the first order and again at each renewal. Credits follow the cases of section 1 only, so check a plan's limits before you pay. They are listed on the [pricing page](https://velumhold.com/pricing/ "How much does Velumhold web hosting cost?"). ## 7. Can a crypto payment be charged back? No. Once the blockchain confirms a payment it stays final, so a crypto payment has no chargeback. The cases on this page are the only route to a credit or a payout, and requests go by email to support@velumhold.com. This policy is part of the [terms of service](https://velumhold.com/terms/ "Terms of Service"). ## 8. Changes to this policy This policy carries the date 2 November 2026 and may be updated.

A VPS gives you your own virtual server, with more control and your own upkeep. Shared hosting suits ordinary websites and WordPress. A VPS suits custom software or heavy load. **Velumhold** sells shared hosting only: 3 plans from $2.49 a month on the yearly term, with no KYC and payment in crypto. ## How do shared hosting and a VPS compare at a glance? | Point | Shared hosting | VPS | | --- | --- | --- | | What you rent | An account on a server that many customers use | A virtual server of your own, on a physical machine shared with other virtual servers | | Resources | Sites compete for memory, disk space and processing power | An allocation of the machine's resources that is yours | | Isolation | Little separation between customers | Each virtual server is isolated from the others | | Control | A control panel for files, domains, email, databases and SSL | Custom software and custom configurations | | Maintenance | The host runs the server | Unmanaged: you do all server tasks. Managed: the host does core updates, maintenance and software installs | | Security updates | The host patches the server. You update your own site software | Unmanaged: you patch the whole server | | Skills needed | A browser and a control panel | The Linux command line, server security, DNS, mail setup | | Price | Velumhold: $2.49 to $4.99 a month on the yearly term | Varies by provider and size, plus your time or a management fee | | Best for | Blogs, business sites, WordPress, email on your domain | Custom software, heavy load, special server settings | ## What is shared hosting? **Shared hosting is an account on a server that many customers use.** The host runs the server software. You run your site. On a shared server, websites compete for memory, disk space and processing power (Amazon Web Services). A Velumhold plan is a shared hosting account. You manage everything from a web control panel: files, domains, email accounts, databases, SSL and backups. Give an SSH public key at checkout for SFTP and SSH, or leave it blank; the panel login always comes with the account. NVMe SSD storage on every plan. Automatic daily backups of files and databases, kept for 7 to 30 days depending on the plan; restore one from the control panel or ask support. ## What is a VPS? **A VPS, or virtual private server, is a virtual machine that uses a portion of a physical server's resources.** You get your own allocation of them, and you can install custom software and custom configurations (Amazon Web Services). That freedom comes with upkeep, covered below. ## What does root access mean, and do I need it? **Root is the all-powerful account of a Linux system.** Processes run by the superuser, user ID 0, skip the kernel's permission checks (Linux man-pages). With root you can install any software and change any setting. You can also break the system or open a security hole. A shared server has many customers, so none of them gets root. You get the control panel instead. According to Velumhold's survey of 2 November 2026, 9 of the 15 shared-hosting sellers it read use cPanel, and 3 of the 18 hosts sell no shared hosting at all, only VPS, dedicated servers or domains. If you need root, you need a VPS. Velumhold does not sell one. ## Who handles security updates on shared hosting and on a VPS? **On shared hosting the host updates the server, and you update your site.** On an unmanaged VPS, the owner takes care of all the server responsibilities and maintenance, which covers the whole server and not only the operating system. On a managed VPS, the host handles core updates, maintenance and software installation (Amazon Web Services). Ubuntu Server installs security updates automatically by default, through the `unattended-upgrades` package. It does not reboot by default (Ubuntu Server documentation). Someone has to plan that reboot. Your own site software, such as WordPress and its plugins, is yours to update in both cases. ## Does a VPS make my site faster? **Not by itself.** Amazon Web Services says a site's performance may start to degrade as traffic increases, and that compute-heavy sites perform much better on a VPS. A VPS also keeps other customers' load out of your allocation. Check your own traffic and load before paying for more. ## Who should choose shared hosting, and who a VPS? **Choose shared hosting if:** - You run a blog, a WordPress site, a portfolio or a business site. - You want email on your own domain without running a mail server. - You prefer to leave server care to the host. - You do not use the Linux command line. **Choose a VPS if:** - You run custom software that a control panel does not offer. - Your traffic or processing load outgrows shared resources. - You need to change server settings yourself. - You, or someone you pay, can run the server. Velumhold sells shared hosting only. If you outgrow it, moving is a copy and a DNS switch: see [how to move a website](https://velumhold.com/move-your-website/ "How do I move my website to a new host without downtime?"). ## How much do shared hosting and a VPS cost? **A VPS adds the cost of running it: your time, or a managed plan.** VPS prices vary by provider and size, so compare the monthly price, the renewal price and what is managed. Velumhold shared hosting costs $2.49, $3.74 and $4.99 a month for Tulle, Chiffon and Velvet on the yearly term. The same term renews at the price of your order. See the [price index](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-price-index/ "How much does web hosting cost with crypto in 2026?") for 18 hosts. ## Velumhold shared hosting plans, price per month Paid from a crypto balance.

For a typical site, yes. Pick “WordPress, installed” at checkout and the account arrives with WordPress set up on your domain; pick “Empty account” to upload your own site. Plans and prices are in [WordPress hosting paid in crypto](https://velumhold.com/wordpress-hosting-with-crypto/ "Where can I get WordPress hosting paid in crypto?"). ### Can I upgrade from shared hosting to a VPS later? Yes, as a move: copy the files and the database to the new server, test it, then switch DNS. Velumhold sells shared hosting only. See [how to move a website](https://velumhold.com/move-your-website/ "How do I move my website to a new host without downtime?"). ### Do I get root access on shared hosting? No. A shared server has many customers. At Velumhold you get a control panel, and SFTP and SSH if you give a key: You manage everything from a web control panel: files, domains, email accounts, databases, SSL and backups. Give an SSH public key at checkout for SFTP and SSH, or leave it blank; the panel login always comes with the account. ### Is a VPS more secure than shared hosting? A VPS is isolated from the other virtual servers, which is where its security comes from. On an unmanaged VPS you also do the patching, so it is only as safe as you keep it. On shared hosting the host patches the server. ### Does Velumhold sell VPS? No. Velumhold sells shared hosting only: Tulle, Chiffon and Velvet. Private web hosting for websites and WordPress: a hosting account with a control panel, email accounts and databases, paid in crypto with no KYC. ### Can I pay for hosting with crypto and no KYC? At Velumhold, yes. No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number. You pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR from a prepaid balance. ## Sources 1. [What is VPS?

There is no KYC and no setup fee. DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama, is the seller, and Panamanian law governs. A person creates each account after payment. Breaking the acceptable use policy means suspension. ## 1. Who we are and what these Terms cover DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama, sells and runs Velumhold: the hosting accounts, the velumhold.com website and the dashboard where you manage them. Throughout these Terms, "we" and "us" stand for DomaineGoat LLC, and "you" for the account holder. You agree to these Terms when you create an account, add funds or order hosting. They include three policies, each binding: the [refund policy](https://velumhold.com/refunds/ "Refund Policy"), the [acceptable use policy](https://velumhold.com/acceptable-use/ "Acceptable Use Policy") and the [privacy policy](https://velumhold.com/privacy/ "Privacy Policy"). ## 2. Who may open an account - Nobody under 18 can hold an account. - We cannot serve residents or companies of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, China, Yemen or Western Sahara, or anyone in the occupied regions of Ukraine. - A person or company on a sanctions list cannot hold an account, and no account may be used to serve one. - The law where you live must allow you to enter into a contract. ## 3. Your account Your account number alone signs you in; an email address is yours to add or to leave out. No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number. - Anyone who has your account number controls the balance and every hosting account on it. - Keep your account number somewhere safe: whoever holds it holds the account. With an email on file the number can be recovered; with no email, a lost number stays lost. - Every action taken with your account number or your SSH key is your responsibility. - Nobody from our team will ever ask for your account number, your control panel password or your private SSH key, by email or in a chat. ## 4. What you rent Private web hosting for websites and WordPress: a hosting account with a control panel, email accounts and databases, paid in crypto with no KYC. - **Control panel:** A web control panel for files, domains, email, databases, SSL certificates and backups. - **Access:** You manage everything from a web control panel: files, domains, email accounts, databases, SSL and backups. Give an SSH public key at checkout for SFTP and SSH, or leave it blank; the panel login always comes with the account. - **Storage:** NVMe SSD storage on every plan. - **SSL:** Free SSL certificates (Let’s Encrypt), issued and renewed automatically for every domain on the account. - **WordPress:** Pick “WordPress, installed” at checkout and the account arrives with WordPress set up on your domain; pick “Empty account” to upload your own site. - **Email:** Email accounts on your own domain with webmail, IMAP and SMTP; outgoing mail is rate-limited to keep spam off the servers. - **Backups:** Automatic daily backups of files and databases, kept for 7 to 30 days depending on the plan; restore one from the control panel or ask support. - **Locations:** Reykjavik (Iceland), Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Bucharest (Romania): every plan in every location, at the same price. - **Plans:** Tulle $2.49/month on the yearly term ($3.56 month to month), Chiffon $3.74/month on the yearly term ($5.35 month to month), Velvet $4.99/month on the yearly term ($7.14 month to month). What each plan holds is on the [pricing page](https://velumhold.com/pricing/ "How much does Velumhold web hosting cost?"). ## 5. Prices and payment All prices are in US dollars and published on the pricing page. No setup fee is added: the price of the term you pick is what you pay, at the first order and again at each renewal. - Pay for 1 month, 3 months (10% off), 6 months (20% off) or 12 months (30% off) at a time: a longer term costs the monthly price times 3, 6 or 12, less its discount, rounded down to the cent (Chiffon: $14.44 for 3 months, $25.68 for 6 months, $44.94 for 12 months). A renewal repeats your term at the price you ordered at, unless you set a different term for the next renewal from your dashboard. - The only way to pay is crypto, in one of these coins: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR. - You pay into a prepaid balance, $1 or more at a time, and each term is drawn from it. - Your balance has no expiry date and pays for any of your hosting accounts. It is not paid back out unless the law requires it; the one exception is the unspent part of a top-up made only to reach the minimum, which returns in USDT or USDC if you ask within 30 days of payment. - Use the exact amount, address and network shown at payment. Coins sent over a different network can be lost for good. - The network fee of each transfer you send is yours to pay. - Each incoming payment whose sending address shows on its blockchain is checked against public sanctions lists of blockchain addresses, and a payment from a listed address is never credited. A Monero payment keeps its sending address out of view, so this list check cannot cover it. ## 6. Setup and delivery Once your payment is confirmed, a member of the team creates your hosting account within minutes, and within the hour at the very latest; follow its status in the dashboard until the control panel login appears. Setup time: 1 hour at the latest from the confirmed payment, and in most cases only a few minutes. When we cannot deliver an account, the [refund policy](https://velumhold.com/refunds/ "Refund Policy") applies. ## 7. Renewal and the end of a term You prepay each hosting account from a crypto balance for a term of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 12 months, chosen at checkout. With auto-renew, the same term is charged again at your original price, unless you pick another term for the next renewal in the dashboard; if the balance cannot cover it, the sites stop when the term ends, the files are kept for 7 days and then deleted. Keep enough balance to cover the next term. ## 8. Domains and moving a site in - **Domains:** Domains are not sold here: point a domain you own to the account with two nameservers or an A record. - **Moving in:** Moving an existing site in is free: send support a backup or the old host’s login and the team copies it over. ## 9. Rules of use The [acceptable use policy](https://velumhold.com/acceptable-use/ "Acceptable Use Policy") is binding under these Terms. Forbidden: spam or bulk email, phishing, malware or botnet command, DDoS or other attacks, scanning or brute-forcing other people’s systems, carding or fraud, child sexual abuse material, cryptocurrency mining, and any service to sanctioned people or companies. You answer for everything on your account, including every website, mailbox and person you give access to. ## 10. Copyright notices and the law that applies DMCA notices and other foreign copyright notices get no response from us; we answer only to Panamanian law and to the orders of Panamanian courts. Velumhold belongs to DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama that answers to Panamanian law alone. Each datacenter that houses our servers is bound by the law of the country it sits in. We hold only what billing and running your account need: the account number and an email if you add one; every top-up and order (amount, coin, network, transaction ID, date); and per hosting account its plan, term, location, starting point, SSH public key if you gave one, and dates. No record leaves us without an order from a Panamanian court. The records that exist are listed in the [privacy policy](https://velumhold.com/privacy/ "Privacy Policy"). ## 11. Suspension A hosting account is stopped in two situations: - its term ends and the balance cannot cover the next one (section 7); - it runs something the acceptable use policy bans. Foreign copyright notices are set aside; only Panamanian law and Panamanian court orders count. Spam, phishing, malware, botnet command, attacks, fraud and child sexual abuse material are banned and lead to suspension. A suspension for breaking the rules earns no credit for the days left: credits exist only in the cases the refund policy names. To contest a suspension, email support@velumhold.com and name the domain of the account. Leave your account number out of the message. ## 12. Availability We publish no uptime percentage. Maintenance, failing hardware, the datacenter's network or events beyond our control can interrupt a site. When an account goes down and support cannot bring it back, the days it was out of service return to your balance, as the refund policy sets out. ## 13. Your content and your backups The content of your sites is yours, and so is the responsibility for it. Automatic daily backups of files and databases, kept for 7 to 30 days depending on the plan; restore one from the control panel or ask support. Keep a copy of anything you cannot lose. ## 14. No warranty and limit of liability The service comes "as is" and "as available". We give no warranty that it suits a particular purpose. Within the limits of Panamanian law, we accept no liability for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit or loss of data, and our total liability for a claim is capped at the price of the term concerned. Any liability that Panamanian law forbids us to limit stays fully in place. ## 15. Governing law and courts The service and these Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Panama. Any dispute about them goes before the courts of Panama. ## 16. Changes and language These Terms are dated 2 November 2026, and we may change them. The version that applies is the one dated at the top of this page, and from its date it covers new orders, renewals and continued use of the service. The English text is the reference; if a translation differs from it, the English wording prevails. ## 17. Contact - Support: support@velumhold.com. A person answers support emails within 12 hours, seven days a week, including help with DNS records, WordPress, email accounts and moving a site in. - Abuse reports: abuse@velumhold.com. - Name an account by its domain, never by your account number.

SiteGround and Bluehost do not. BlueAngelHost shows no crypto option and Hostens shows only a BitPay logo with no coins named, so neither is counted. Crypto does not always mean Bitcoin. Hostwinds takes only stablecoins such as USDC. Namecheap uses crypto to top up a balance. **4 of the 15 shared-hosting sellers ask for no ID at signup:** 1984 Hosting, FlokiNET, IncogNET and Packetra. Eight may ask for more than an email. Three were not checked. See [web hosting without ID verification](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-without-kyc/ "Can I get web hosting without ID verification?"). ## What does the cheapest plan cost at 12 months? **The cheapest plan cost $2.19 to $5.95 a month at the 8 crypto-accepting hosts that list a 12-month price. The median was $3.52.** In order: Hawk Host $2.19, Namecheap $2.28, 1984 Hosting $2.95, IncogNET $3.33, Packetra $3.71, Hostinger $3.99, OrangeWebsite $4.20, Shinjiru $5.95. Median of 8 values: ($3.33 + $3.71) / 2 = $3.52. Four other crypto hosts show only a 1-month price (FlokiNET, Abelohost, KoDDoS) or no clear term (Hostwinds), so they are left out. ## What does renewal cost? **Five hosts publish a renewal price for their cheapest plan. The median is $10.99 a month.** They are 1984 Hosting ($19.83), SiteGround ($17.99), Hostinger ($10.99), Bluehost ($9.99) and Hawk Host ($5.22). Add OrangeWebsite, IncogNET and Packetra, which show one price per term and no promotion, so we take the list price as the renewal, and the median of 8 is about $7.61. At the five hosts, renewal costs 2.4 to 9.0 times the first-term price; the median is 2.8. Bluehost's ratio uses its 36-month price. Seven hosts show no renewal price.

Packetra does not name its panel, and we did not capture Bluehost's. Velumhold includes: A web control panel for files, domains, email, databases, SSL certificates and backups. ## Where does Velumhold sit in this index? Velumhold sells three shared hosting plans: Tulle, Chiffon and Velvet. On a yearly term they cost $2.49, $3.74 and $4.99 a month. Each renewal is for the same term at the price of your order.

The reference is the comparable hosting plan with the smallest price among 3 hosts that accept crypto and ask for no ID at signup (FlokiNET, IncogNET, Packetra): at least as many websites and as much storage, compared at the price a customer keeps paying (the best term up to 12 months, at its renewal price when the first term is a promotion, with any setup fee spread over 12 months). 1984 Hosting, which also asks for no ID, does not state its storage, so it is not compared. ## Velumhold plans, price per month Paid from a crypto balance.

Njalla, Privex and BlueAngelHost sell no shared hosting. - **Price:** the 12-month price divided by 12, in US dollars. Euros are converted at the ECB rate of 1.1172 (30 October 2026). - **Cheapest plan:** the shared plan with the lowest 12-month price; with none, the 1-month price, as the table says. - **Renewal:** per month, as the host states it. “About” marks one we infer from a list price. - **Limits:** IncogNET refused our reads, so its figures come from Internet Archive snapshots of 17 and 18 October 2026.

Velumhold keeps your order price. No KYC, paid in crypto. - URL: https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-renewal-prices/ - Last updated: 2026-11-02 - Publisher: Velumhold (https://velumhold.com) Promo prices and renewal prices side by side for 14 plans at 5 hosts, what a cheap first year costs over three years, and how to compare hosts fairly. **Quick answer — Why does web hosting cost more when it renews?** Hosts discount the first term and renew at their list price. On 2 November 2026, all 14 plans at the 5 hosts in this check renewed higher. On the 11 with a 12-month first term, renewal costs 2.0 to 9.0 times the first-term price, median 2.8. **Velumhold** renews the same term at your order price, so a yearly Tulle stays at $2.49 a month. No KYC, paid in crypto. ## Renewal numbers, 2 November 2026 - **14 of 14** Plans in this check that renew higher (1984 Hosting, Hostinger, Hawk Host, SiteGround and Bluehost) - **2.8×** Median renewal-to-first-term ratio (11 plans with a 12-month first term, from 2.0× (Hawk Host Plus) to 9.0× (SiteGround StartUp)) - **$455.64** Three years of SiteGround StartUp ($23.88 in year one, $215.88 in each of years two and three) ## Why do hosts charge more at renewal? **Hosts discount the first term and renew at their list price.** According to Velumhold's survey of 2 November 2026, all 14 plans at the 5 hosts that print both a first-term and a renewal price renew higher. The hosts say it in their own words. Hostinger's page states that its 12-month Premium plan renews at $10.99 a month for the same term. Hostens marks its first-year discount as not recurring. Namecheap shows $2.28 a month on its yearly tab against a struck-through regular price of $5.88, and does not show the yearly renewal rate. Four hosts print both numbers, and all four renew higher. The next table lists every plan they sell. ## How much higher is the renewal price? | Plan | First term, per month | Renewal, per month | Renewal ÷ first term | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1984 Hosting, single plan | $2.95 | $19.83 | 6.7× | | Hostinger Premium | $3.99 | $10.99 | 2.8× | | Hostinger Unlimited | $4.99 | $16.99 | 3.4× | | Hostinger Cloud Startup | $9.99 | $25.99 | 2.6× | | Hawk Host Starter | $2.19 | $5.22 | 2.4× | | Hawk Host Launch | $3.83 | $9.57 | 2.5× | | Hawk Host Plus | $6.96 | $13.93 | 2.0× | | Hawk Host Turbo | $8.70 | $21.76 | 2.5× | | SiteGround StartUp | $1.99 | $17.99 | 9.0× | | SiteGround GrowBig | $3.99 | $29.99 | 7.5× | | SiteGround GoGeek | $5.99 | $44.99 | 7.5× | | Bluehost Starter, 36-month term | $3.99 | $9.99 | 2.5× | | Bluehost Business, 36-month term | $6.99 | $13.99 | 2.0× | | Bluehost eCommerce Essentials, 36-month term | $14.99 | $21.99 | 1.5× | *Prices checked on November 2, 2026.* First term is the 12-month term, except Bluehost, whose page shows only its 36-month price. US dollars per month, as printed by each host. The ratio is the renewal price divided by the first-term price. ## What does a cheap first year cost over three years? **A low first year hides most of the bill.** At SiteGround, year one of StartUp costs $23.88 and the next two years cost $431.76. Year one is 5% of the three-year bill. SiteGround has the lowest first-term price of the 15 hosts that list a plan price ($1.99), yet its three-year average of $12.66 a month is above Hostinger's Premium ($8.66) and Hawk Host's Starter ($4.21). ### Three years of the cheapest plan | Plan | Year 1 | Years 2 and 3 | Three-year total | Average per month | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Hawk Host Starter | $26.28 | $125.28 | $151.56 | $4.21 | | Hostinger Premium | $47.88 | $263.76 | $311.64 | $8.66 | | SiteGround StartUp | $23.88 | $431.76 | $455.64 | $12.66 | | 1984 Hosting | $35.40 | $475.92 | $511.32 | $14.20 | | **Velumhold** Tulle, yearly term | $29.90 | 2 × $29.90 | 3 × $29.90 | $2.49 | *Prices checked on November 2, 2026.* Year 1 = 12 × the first-term price. Years 2 and 3 = 24 × the renewal price. Average = total ÷ 36. The sums assume each renewal price stays the same. Plans differ in size: the table compares the shape of the price, not the value of the plan. ## Which hosts show one price, and which show none? Three hosts show one price per term and no promotion: OrangeWebsite, IncogNET and Packetra. We take the list price as the renewal price: about $4.20, $3.33 and $3.71 a month for their cheapest plans, or about $151.20, $119.88 and $133.56 over three years (36 × the monthly price). That is an inference, since none of them prints a separate renewal price. Packetra says routine price changes apply at renewal. Seven hosts show no renewal price on the pages we read: FlokiNET, Shinjiru, KoDDoS, Abelohost, Namecheap, Hostens and Hostwinds. For them, the renewal price is the number to ask for before you pay. If yours jumps, [moving to a new host without downtime](https://velumhold.com/move-your-website/ "How do I move my website to a new host without downtime?") takes eight steps. ## How do I compare web hosts without being fooled by a promo? 1. **Find the renewal price per month** — Look on the plan page, in the cart and in the terms. If you cannot find it, treat the first price as a promotion. 2. **Compare the same term** — A 36-month price, such as Bluehost's $3.99, is not comparable with a 12-month price. 3. **Add every fee** — FlokiNET lists a €5 setup fee on each order. Add such fees to the first year. 4. **Do the three-year sum** — 12 × the first-term price, plus 24 × the renewal price, divided by 36. Compare that average. 5. **Read what “renewal” means** — Hostinger renews for the same term. Check the term, the price and whether you can pick a shorter one. 6. **Check what happens when a payment fails** — Find out how long your files are kept and when they are deleted. ## How does Velumhold renew? **Velumhold renews the same term at the price of your order** ([all plans and terms](https://velumhold.com/pricing/ "How much does Velumhold web hosting cost?")). A yearly Tulle costs $29.90 a year, $2.49 a month, at the order and at each yearly renewal. Pay for 1 month, 3 months (10% off), 6 months (20% off) or 12 months (30% off) at a time: a longer term costs the monthly price times 3, 6 or 12, less its discount, rounded down to the cent (Chiffon: $14.44 for 3 months, $25.68 for 6 months, $44.94 for 12 months). A renewal repeats your term at the price you ordered at, unless you set a different term for the next renewal from your dashboard. You prepay each hosting account from a crypto balance for a term of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 12 months, chosen at checkout. With auto-renew, the same term is charged again at your original price, unless you pick another term for the next renewal in the dashboard; if the balance cannot cover it, the sites stop when the term ends, the files are kept for 7 days and then deleted. No setup fee is added: the price of the term you pick is what you pay, at the first order and again at each renewal. ## Velumhold plans, price per month The yearly price is also the yearly renewal price.

Hosts discount the first term and renew at their list price. On 2 November 2026, all 14 plans at the 5 hosts in this check renewed higher. On the 11 with a 12-month first term, renewal cost 2.0 to 9.0 times the first-term price. ### Which web host has the cheapest renewal price?

Three hosts show one price and no promotion: about $3.33 at IncogNET, $3.71 at Packetra and $4.20 at OrangeWebsite. The [crypto web hosting ranking](https://velumhold.com/best-web-hosting-that-accepts-crypto/ "What is the best web hosting that accepts crypto?") scores renewal price too. ### Does a longer term avoid the renewal jump? It only delays it. On 2 November 2026, Bluehost's Starter was $3.99 a month on 36 months and renewed at $9.99. 1984 Hosting's 36-month price was $5.00 and renewed at $16.89.

Top up your balance with BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR (minimum $1). Your balance has no expiry date and pays for any of your hosting accounts. It is not paid back out unless the law requires it; the one exception is the unspent part of a top-up made only to reach the minimum, which returns in USDT or USDC if you ask within 30 days of payment. ## Sources 1.

The rest of a balance is not paid out unless the law requires it. | Crypto | Network | Confirmations | Usual time | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Bitcoin (BTC) | Bitcoin | 2 | ≈ 20 min | | Tether (USDT) | Tron (TRC-20) | 20 | ≈ 1 min | | Tether (USDT) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | USD Coin (USDC) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Ethereum (ETH) | Ethereum | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Solana (SOL) | Solana | 1 | ≈ 1 min | | Litecoin (LTC) | Litecoin | 6 | ≈ 15 min | | Monero (XMR) | Monero | 10 | ≈ 20 min | Closed the tab? The pending top-up stays under Billing in your account: open it to see the address and the exact amount again. ## What should I check in my wallet before I send? Five checks cover the usual mistakes. - **Coin:** BTC. Funds sent in another coin can’t be recovered. - **Network:** the Bitcoin network, as the payment page shows. - **Amount:** the exact figure on the payment page. Each top-up has its own exact amount, down to the last decimals. That is how the payment is found and linked to your account. - **Fee:** make sure the network fee comes on top of the amount. Your wallet sets the fee. The Bitcoin developer guide warns that a transaction paying only the minimum fee should be prepared to wait a long time. - **Address:** copy it from the payment page and check it again after you paste. ## How long does paying with Bitcoin take? Two waits add up: the network, then the team. **The network.** The bitcoin.org vocabulary says a new block is added roughly every 10 minutes on average. A confirmation means the network has processed your transaction, and each further confirmation lowers the risk that it is reversed. The table above gives the confirmations Velumhold waits for and the usual time. These are typical times. A low fee can stretch them. **The team.** Once your payment is confirmed, a member of the team creates your hosting account within minutes, and within the hour at the very latest; follow its status in the dashboard until the control panel login appears. So plan for a few tens of minutes on the network, then a few minutes more for the account, never over an hour. ## What does it cost to pay for hosting in Bitcoin? You pay the plan price plus the network fee. No setup fee is added: the price of the term you pick is what you pay, at the first order and again at each renewal. Prices are set in US dollars. The payment page shows the BTC amount and holds the rate for a short time. The bitcoin.org business guide says the fee depends on the size of the transaction in data, not on the value sent. The fee goes to the miners, not to Velumhold. Paying in a stablecoin instead? See [how to pay for web hosting with USDT](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-with-usdt/ "How do I pay for web hosting with USDT (TRC-20 or ERC-20)?"). Every plan costs more than the $1 minimum top-up: Tulle for one month is $3.56, so the top-up simply matches your order. Your balance has no expiry date and pays for any of your hosting accounts. It is not paid back out unless the law requires it; the one exception is the unspent part of a top-up made only to reach the minimum, which returns in USDT or USDC if you ask within 30 days of payment. ### Plan prices by term Total in US dollars for each term, before the network fee. | Plan | 1 month | 3 months | 6 months | 12 months | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Tulle | $3.56 | $9.61 | $17.08 | $29.90 | | Chiffon | $5.35 | $14.44 | $25.68 | $44.94 | | Velvet | $7.14 | $19.27 | $34.27 | $59.97 | ## What happens if the amount or the network is wrong? Velumhold’s payment steps say two things. - **Wrong coin or network:** funds sent on another network or in another coin can’t be recovered. - **Wrong amount:** each top-up has its own exact amount, and that amount is how the payment is found and linked to your account. If your wallet sent a different amount, do not send a second payment. Write to support with the transaction ID. Support replies within 12 hours. These pages make no promise about a payment of another amount, so ask before you act. Closed the payment tab? The pending top-up is still waiting under Billing in your account. ## Which web hosts accept Bitcoin? According to Velumhold's survey of 2 November 2026, 11 of the 15 shared-hosting providers it read list Bitcoin; Hostwinds takes stablecoins only. | Host | Bitcoin | How it is taken | Worth knowing | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Velumhold | Yes | Its own deposit address and an exact amount; the team checks the transaction on the blockchain | No ID step | | 1984 Hosting | Yes | Prices shown in XBT and XMR | The crypto option is not offered to users who appear to be in Iceland | | OrangeWebsite | Yes | BitPay and CoinPayments | The processors reserve the right to request KYC; crypto payments are credited to the account and not refunded | | FlokiNET | Yes | Processor not named | Crypto carries a 0% fee | | IncogNET | Yes | In-house processing for BTC, XMR, LTC and DOGE | Read from archived pages | | Shinjiru | Yes | Direct wallet payment or CoinPayments | Order form not inspected | | KoDDoS | Listed | Processor not named | Not confirmed per product | | Abelohost | Yes | A dedicated Bitcoin hosting page | Crypto purchases are strictly non-refundable | | Hostinger | Yes | CoinGate | From a 2021 announcement, not re-verified | | Namecheap | Yes | BitPay, as an account top-up | BitPay asks for ID on payments of $3,000 or more | | Packetra | Yes | Self-hosted BTCPay Server | Signup needs only an email | | Hawk Host | Yes | BitPay and Transfi | Eligible for the 30-day refund | | Hostens | Not confirmed | A BitPay logo on its shared-hosting page; a third-party review mentions Bitcoin | No coins named on its own pages | | Hostwinds | No | Stripe Crypto takes stablecoins only; Bitcoin is explicitly unsupported | Manual payment per invoice | | SiteGround | No | No crypto option seen | Card billing | | Bluehost | No | No crypto option listed in the survey; not verified on its own pages | Card billing | *Prices checked on November 2, 2026.* Njalla and Privex also take Bitcoin but sell no shared web hosting.

Scores by coin, ID and renewal price: [best web hosting that accepts crypto](https://velumhold.com/best-web-hosting-that-accepts-crypto/ "What is the best web hosting that accepts crypto?"). ## Is paying for hosting with Bitcoin private? **Only up to a point: Velumhold never learns your name, but the payment itself sits on a public ledger.** bitcoin.org states that all Bitcoin transactions are public, traceable and permanently stored in the Bitcoin network. It advises a new address for each incoming payment and separate wallets for different purposes, so transactions are harder to link. That is a limit of Bitcoin, not of any host. [What private web hosting hides](https://velumhold.com/what-is-private-web-hosting/ "What is private web hosting, and what does it hide?") lists the others. ## Paying for hosting with Bitcoin: common questions ### How many confirmations must a Bitcoin payment reach? The payment table above shows the number for Bitcoin and the usual time. A new block arrives roughly every 10 minutes on average. ### Can I pay with Lightning? The payment table lists one Bitcoin network and no Lightning option. Send a normal on-chain Bitcoin payment. ### What is the minimum Bitcoin payment? The minimum top-up is $1. Your balance has no expiry date and pays for any of your hosting accounts. It is not paid back out unless the law requires it; the one exception is the unspent part of a top-up made only to reach the minimum, which returns in USDT or USDC if you ask within 30 days of payment. ### Can I pay from an exchange? Any wallet or exchange that can send BTC on the Bitcoin network can pay. Make sure the full amount arrives, with the network fee on top, and send it as one payment. ### Do I need ID to pay for hosting with Bitcoin? No. No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number. Your account number alone signs you in; an email address is yours to add or to leave out, as explained in [web hosting without ID verification](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-without-kyc/ "Can I get web hosting without ID verification?"). **Pay for hosting with Bitcoin** Tulle, Chiffon and Velvet start at $2.49 a month on the yearly term. BTC, no KYC. [See the plans](https://velumhold.com/pricing/ "How much does Velumhold web hosting cost?") ## Sources 1.

It is run by DomaineGoat LLC, a company registered in Panama.

Top up from $1 on the network you pick; the fee comes on top. No KYC at Velumhold. - URL: https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-with-usdt/ - Last updated: 2026-11-02 - Publisher: Velumhold (https://velumhold.com) The steps from a USDT wallet to a hosting account: which network to pick, what each one costs in fees and time, and what a mistake means. **Quick answer — How do I pay for web hosting with USDT (TRC-20 or ERC-20)?** To pay for web hosting with USDT at **Velumhold**, top up your balance from $1 and send the exact amount shown on the network you picked: Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20). Funds sent on another network can’t be recovered. Plans start at $2.49 a month on the yearly term (2 November 2026). No KYC: no ID, no selfie, no card. ## Paying with USDT at a glance | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Coin | USDT (Tether) | | Networks | Tron (TRC-20) and Ethereum (ERC-20) | | Minimum top-up | $1 | | Network fee | Paid by you, on top of the amount: in ETH on Ethereum, in TRX or staked resources on Tron | | Account delivery | 1 hour at the latest from the confirmed payment, and in most cases only a few minutes | | ID at signup | No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number | ## How do I pay for web hosting with USDT, step by step? Velumhold works from a prepaid balance. Pick USDT at the first step, then pick Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20). The table shows both rows. 1. **Top up $1 or more** — Choose the amount and the coin (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR). The crypto amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes. 2. **Send it to the address shown, on the exact network** — The payment page shows our deposit address for the coin and network you picked: BTC on Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, LTC on Litecoin, XMR on Monero. Send only that coin on that network: funds sent on another network or in another coin can’t be recovered. The network fee comes on top of the amount. 3. **Send the exact amount shown, then click “I’ve sent the payment”** — Each top-up has its own exact amount (down to the last decimals): that is how we find your payment and link it to your account. 4. **Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain** — Your balance is credited once we have checked the transaction on the blockchain, after the network has confirmed it. Typical network confirmation times: 5. **Get your hosting account** — Pick a plan, a term, a location and a starting point (WordPress or an empty account), and the top-up is set to the price of that term. Once the payment is confirmed, a person creates your account within minutes (an hour at most) and the control panel login appears in your dashboard. Credit on your balance does not expire and renews any of your hosting accounts. When a top-up is only made to reach the minimum, the unspent part comes back on request within 30 days of payment, in USDT or USDC. The rest of a balance is not paid out unless the law requires it. | Crypto | Network | Confirmations | Usual time | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Bitcoin (BTC) | Bitcoin | 2 | ≈ 20 min | | Tether (USDT) | Tron (TRC-20) | 20 | ≈ 1 min | | Tether (USDT) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | USD Coin (USDC) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Ethereum (ETH) | Ethereum | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Solana (SOL) | Solana | 1 | ≈ 1 min | | Litecoin (LTC) | Litecoin | 6 | ≈ 15 min | | Monero (XMR) | Monero | 10 | ≈ 20 min | Closed the tab? The pending top-up stays under Billing in your account: open it to see the address and the exact amount again. ## What is the difference between TRC-20 and ERC-20 USDT? Tether issues USDT on several blockchains, and its supported-protocols page lists both Ethereum (ERC-20) and Tron (TRC-20). Tether says its tokens exist on multiple blockchains and should be treated equally and interchangeably. **For you, the difference is the network, not the coin.** Interchangeable does not mean a transfer can cross networks: Velumhold’s steps say funds sent on another network can’t be recovered. ### TRC-20 and ERC-20 side by side | Detail | Tron (TRC-20) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | | --- | --- | --- | | Block time | 3 seconds | 12-second slots | | Time until final | A block becomes irreversible once at least 19 of the 27 Super Representatives have each produced a block at that height or above, typically about 1 minute | About 15 minutes for a block to finalize | | Fee paid in | Bandwidth and Energy; TRX is burned if you lack them | Gas, paid in ETH | | Address looks like | 34 characters, starting with T | 42 characters, starting with 0x | Velumhold’s own confirmation counts and usual times for each network are in the payment table above. They are typical network times, not delivery times. ## Which network should I choose, TRC-20 or ERC-20? Use the network where your USDT already sits. Then check that you hold the coin that pays the fee there. - **TRC-20:** Tron charges two resources, Bandwidth for the transaction and Energy for contract execution, and a token transfer runs a contract. Tron’s documentation says that when an account has too few resources, the network burns TRX to cover the rest. Keep some TRX in the wallet. - **ERC-20:** the Ethereum documentation says gas fees have to be paid in ETH. Keep some ETH in the wallet. This page quotes no dollar fees. The sources do not give a fixed price for either network. Your wallet shows the fee before you confirm, so compare the two there. Paying in BTC instead? See [how to pay for web hosting with Bitcoin](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-with-bitcoin/ "How do I pay for web hosting with Bitcoin?"). ## How long does a USDT payment take? Two waits add up: the network, then the team. **The network.** Tron produces a block every 3 seconds, and its documentation says a block typically becomes irreversible in about a minute. Ethereum has 12-second slots, and ethereum.org says a block takes about 15 minutes to finalize. The payment table above gives the confirmations Velumhold waits for and the usual time on each network. **The team.** Once your payment is confirmed, a member of the team creates your hosting account within minutes, and within the hour at the very latest; follow its status in the dashboard until the control panel login appears. ## What if I send USDT on the wrong network or the wrong amount? Velumhold’s payment steps are clear on the first point. Send only the coin and network you picked. Coins that travel on another network, or a different coin altogether, cannot be recovered. Before you confirm, match the first characters of the address on the payment page to the network: - Tron (TRC-20): 34 characters, starting with T. - Ethereum (ERC-20): 42 characters, starting with 0x. USDC is accepted on Ethereum (ERC-20) only. Do not send USDC on Tron. On the amount: each top-up has its own exact amount, and that is how the payment is found and linked to your account. If you sent another amount, do not send a second payment. Write to support with the transaction ID. Support replies within 12 hours. These pages make no promise about a payment of another amount, so ask before you act. ## Which web hosts accept USDT? According to Velumhold's survey of 2 November 2026, only 3 of the 15 shared-hosting providers it read name USDT: FlokiNET, Packetra and Shinjiru, which takes the ERC-20 version only. | Host | USDT | Networks and processor | Worth knowing | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Velumhold | Yes | Tron (TRC-20) and Ethereum (ERC-20) | USDC on Ethereum too; no ID step | | FlokiNET | Yes | Processor not named | USDC, ETH, SOL and many more coins | | Packetra | Yes | ERC-20 and TRC-20, through CoinPayments | USDC too; BTC and XMR through self-hosted BTCPay Server | | Shinjiru | ERC-20 only | Direct wallet payment or CoinPayments | USDT on TRC-20, USDC and other unsupported assets will not be processed or refunded | | Hostwinds | Not named | Stripe Crypto: USDC and other Stripe-supported stablecoins | No Bitcoin; manual payment per invoice; a wrong token or network may be unrecoverable | | IncogNET | Not named | Altcoins and many stablecoins through Trocador | Read from archived pages | | OrangeWebsite | Not named | BitPay and CoinPayments; “others via gateways” | BTC, LTC, ETH, BCH and XMR are named | | Hostinger | Not confirmed | CoinGate list, not re-verified | From a 2021 announcement | | Other surveyed hosts | Not named | 1984 Hosting, KoDDoS, Abelohost, Namecheap and Hawk Host list Bitcoin, sometimes with other coins, but not USDT; Hostens shows a BitPay logo and names no coin | SiteGround and Bluehost: no crypto option listed in the survey | *Prices checked on November 2, 2026.* “Not named” means the survey did not find USDT on the pages it read. It does not prove the host refuses it. Scores by coin, ID and renewal price: [best web hosting that accepts crypto](https://velumhold.com/best-web-hosting-that-accepts-crypto/ "What is the best web hosting that accepts crypto?"). ## Paying for hosting with USDT: common questions ### Is TRC-20 or ERC-20 cheaper? The sources give no fixed price for either. TRC-20 fees are paid in TRX or staked resources, ERC-20 fees in ETH. Compare the fee your wallet shows for each network before you confirm. No setup fee is added: the price of the term you pick is what you pay, at the first order and again at each renewal. ### Does Velumhold accept USDC as well? Yes, on Ethereum (ERC-20) only. The payment table above lists it. ### What is the minimum USDT payment? The minimum top-up is $1. Your balance has no expiry date and pays for any of your hosting accounts. It is not paid back out unless the law requires it; the one exception is the unspent part of a top-up made only to reach the minimum, which returns in USDT or USDC if you ask within 30 days of payment. ### How long does a USDT payment take to confirm? Tron makes a block every 3 seconds and Ethereum every 12. The payment table above shows Velumhold’s confirmations and usual time for each network. The account follows a few minutes after a confirmed payment, within the hour at most. ### Do I need ID to pay for hosting with USDT? No. No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number. Your account number alone signs you in; an email address is yours to add or to leave out, as explained in [web hosting without ID verification](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-without-kyc/ "Can I get web hosting without ID verification?"). **Pay for hosting with USDT** Tulle, Chiffon and Velvet start at $2.49 a month on the yearly term.

Yes: 4 of 15 hosts surveyed showed no ID check. Velumhold needs only an account number and crypto. No KYC. - URL: https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-without-kyc/ - Last updated: 2026-11-02 - Publisher: Velumhold (https://velumhold.com) What KYC means for a web host, which hosts ask for ID at signup, and how Velumhold hosts a site with an account number and a crypto top-up. **Quick answer — Can I get web hosting without ID verification?** Yes. **Velumhold** sells web hosting with no KYC: you sign in with an account number, pay in crypto from $1, and never upload an ID, a selfie or a card. Of 15 shared-hosting providers surveyed on 2 November 2026, 4 showed no ID check at signup, 8 may ask for one and 3 were unclear. ## Velumhold at a glance | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | ID at signup | No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number | | Sign-in | Your account number alone signs you in; an email address is yours to add or to leave out | | Payment | Paid in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR and nothing else, from a balance topped up with $1 or more | | Delivery | Once your payment is confirmed, a member of the team creates your hosting account within minutes, and within the hour at the very latest; follow its status in the dashboard until the control panel login appears | | Price | From $2.49 a month on the yearly term | | Locations | Reykjavik (Iceland), Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Bucharest (Romania): every plan in every location, at the same price | ## What does KYC mean for a web host? **KYC, or “know your customer”, is a check of who a customer is, usually with an ID document, before a company serves them.** The duty comes from financial regulation. In the United States, FinCEN’s customer due diligence rule covers banks, mutual funds, brokers or dealers in securities and futures commission merchants. They must identify and verify their customers. The European Commission describes a similar duty for “obliged entities” under EU anti-money-laundering law. The FinCEN rule does not name web hosts. So a host that asks for ID follows its own policy, its fraud screening or a payment partner. The reasons found in the survey below are fraud screening, payment processors and domain registration rules. ## Which web hosts ask for ID at signup? According to Velumhold's survey of 2 November 2026, 4 of the 15 shared-hosting sellers showed no ID step at signup, 8 may ask for more than an email and 3 were not checked. The survey read each host’s public signup page, terms and payment pages. “None found” is not a promise that the host will never ask. | Host | Crypto accepted | What signup asks | ID check | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Velumhold | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR | An account number; email optional | None: no ID, selfie, card or phone number | | 1984 Hosting | BTC, XMR (not offered to users who appear to be in Iceland) | Email (also the username), password, phone optional | None found | | OrangeWebsite | BTC, LTC, ETH, BCH, XMR via BitPay and CoinPayments | Email; the order form also has name, address and phone fields | May ask: BitPay and CoinPayments reserve the right to request KYC; orders are screened for fraud | | FlokiNET | BTC, LTC, XMR, USDT and many more | A valid email address | None found | | IncogNET | BTC, XMR, LTC, DOGE and more | Email (client portal) | None found (read from archived pages) | | Shinjiru | BTC, ETH, USDT (ERC-20) | Order form not inspected | Unclear: its terms let it refuse service to anyone | | KoDDoS | BTC, LTC, ETH, XMR and more | Billing form not inspected | Unclear | | Abelohost | BTC | First and last name, email, phone, billing address, security question | May ask: ID documents for domain registration | | Hostinger | BTC, ETH, LTC via CoinGate (2021 announcement, not re-verified) | Email, password, billing details at checkout | May ask: mainstream anti-fraud checks | | Namecheap | BTC, BCH, ETH via BitPay, as an account top-up | Username, email, password, contact details at checkout | May ask: BitPay requests ID for payments of $3,000 or more and for refunds | | Hostens | BitPay logo only, no coins named | Not inspected | Unclear | | Hostwinds | USDC and other Stripe-supported stablecoins; no Bitcoin | First and last name, email, password | May ask: Stripe checkout adds its own checks | | Packetra | BTC, XMR, ETH, LTC, USDT, USDC and more | Email only | None found | | Hawk Host | BTC and others via BitPay and Transfi | Fields not inspected | May ask: every account goes through a verification process | | SiteGround | None | Name, email, billing details | May ask: card billing; not tested | | Bluehost | None listed; not verified on its pages | Not inspected | May ask: card billing; not tested | *Prices checked on November 2, 2026.* Njalla, Privex and BlueAngelHost are in the survey but sell no shared web hosting, so they are not listed. IncogNET’s live site was not reachable during the survey; its row comes from archived copies of its pages dated 23 September and 18 October 2026. ## Why can a crypto payment processor trigger KYC? Paying in crypto does not remove every check. Some hosts route crypto payments through a third-party processor, and that processor has its own rules. - **OrangeWebsite** says BitPay and CoinPayments reserve the right to request KYC. - **Namecheap** takes crypto as an account top-up through BitPay. Its help page says BitPay requests ID for payments of $3,000 or more and for refunds, and may ask for a BitPay login, for example when the device has used a VPN. - **Hostwinds** takes only stablecoins through Stripe, which adds its own checks at checkout. - **Hawk Host** pays through BitPay and Transfi and says every account goes through the same verification. **So ask who receives your coins: the processor’s rules apply as well as the host’s.** On Velumhold’s payment page you pick a coin and a network, then send to the address shown. The team checks the transaction on the blockchain. No step asks for ID. We screen addresses, not people. Each incoming payment whose sending address shows on its blockchain is checked against public sanctions lists of blockchain addresses, and a payment from a listed address is never credited. A Monero payment keeps its sending address out of view, so this list check cannot cover it. ## How does Velumhold work without ID? Five steps from nothing to a control panel login. 1. **Get an account number** — Your account number alone signs you in; an email address is yours to add or to leave out. Keep your account number somewhere safe: whoever holds it holds the account. With an email on file the number can be recovered; with no email, a lost number stays lost. 2. **Top up in crypto** — Pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR. The minimum top-up is $1. Your balance has no expiry date and pays for any of your hosting accounts. It is not paid back out unless the law requires it; the one exception is the unspent part of a top-up made only to reach the minimum, which returns in USDT or USDC if you ask within 30 days of payment. 3. **Choose a plan** — Pick Tulle, Chiffon or Velvet, a term of 1, 3, 6 or 12 months, a location, and WordPress or an empty account as the starting point. 4. **Wait for the team** — Once your payment is confirmed, a member of the team creates your hosting account within minutes, and within the hour at the very latest; follow its status in the dashboard until the control panel login appears. 5. **Point your domain** — Domains are not sold here: point a domain you own to the account with two nameservers or an A record. Then log in to the control panel. ## What does Velumhold still enforce? No ID does not mean no rules. Four things still apply. - **Age.** Nobody under 18 can hold an account. - **Prohibited use.** Forbidden: spam or bulk email, phishing, malware or botnet command, DDoS or other attacks, scanning or brute-forcing other people’s systems, carding or fraud, child sexual abuse material, cryptocurrency mining, and any service to sanctioned people or companies. - **Countries.** We cannot serve residents or companies of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, China, Yemen or Western Sahara, or anyone in the occupied regions of Ukraine. - **Payment screening.** Each incoming payment whose sending address shows on its blockchain is checked against public sanctions lists of blockchain addresses, and a payment from a listed address is never credited. A Monero payment keeps its sending address out of view, so this list check cannot cover it. The full rules are in the [acceptable use policy](https://velumhold.com/acceptable-use/ "Acceptable Use Policy") and the [terms](https://velumhold.com/terms/ "Terms of Service"). ## Does no-KYC hosting cover my domain name too? No. Hosting and domains are two purchases. Domains are not sold here: point a domain you own to the account with two nameservers or an A record. Your registrar sets its own rules. ICANN’s guide for registrants says a domain owner must provide accurate information for directories such as WHOIS and update it when it changes. Abelohost’s privacy policy says it may ask for ID documents when you register a domain. Whether your contact data shows in public records is another matter. ICANN’s Registration Data Policy requires registrars to redact personal data where the law requires it. [What private web hosting hides](https://velumhold.com/what-is-private-web-hosting/ "What is private web hosting, and what does it hide?") covers the rest. ## Hosting without KYC: common questions ### Do I need an email address to sign up at Velumhold? No. Your account number alone signs you in; an email address is yours to add or to leave out. Keep your account number somewhere safe: whoever holds it holds the account. With an email on file the number can be recovered; with no email, a lost number stays lost. ### Will Velumhold ask for ID later, for example on a bigger plan? No. No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number. The same goes for every plan and every term. If a message that claims to come from us asks for ID, it is not from us. Nobody from our team will ever ask for your account number, your control panel password or your private SSH key, by email or in a chat. ### Which hosts in the survey showed no ID check? 1984 Hosting, FlokiNET, IncogNET and Packetra showed none on 2 November 2026. The survey read public pages only, so check the signup form before you pay. ### Why would a crypto host still ask for ID? Usually because of a payment partner or fraud screening. In the survey, OrangeWebsite, Namecheap and Hawk Host named processors or checks of that kind. Velumhold has no such step. ### Does paying in crypto make hosting private? Partly. No ID reaches the host, but a payment in most coins sits on a public blockchain, and even a Monero payment, hidden from explorers, stays tied to your account in our billing.

It means no ID at signup and no customer logs, but WHOIS stays public. Velumhold: no KYC, paid in crypto, from $2.49/month. - URL: https://velumhold.com/what-is-private-web-hosting/ - Last updated: 2026-11-02 - Publisher: Velumhold (https://velumhold.com) What “private” can and cannot mean for a web host: signup, logs, billing records, domains, payments and jurisdiction, with the limits stated plainly. **Quick answer — What is private web hosting, and what does it hide?** Private web hosting is hosting that asks no ID and keeps little about you. At **Velumhold** that means no KYC, an account number instead of a name, and payment in crypto, from $2.49 a month on 2 November 2026. It does not hide your domain’s public records or a payment on a public blockchain. ## What does private web hosting hide, and what does it not? The right-hand column describes Velumhold. Other hosts differ, so read their pages. | What | At Velumhold | Why | | --- | --- | --- | | Your identity at signup | Not collected | No ID, selfie, documents, card or phone number | | Dashboard connections | Not recorded | No connection records of the dashboard and no customer IP addresses | | Your visitors’ IP addresses | Kept in your account | The web server keeps the access logs of your own sites, for you; you can switch them off | | Billing records | Kept | Each top-up and order: amount, coin, network, transaction ID and date | | Your domain’s registration data | Set by your registrar | Domains are not sold here | | Your payment | Public on the blockchain; with Monero, sender and amount stay hidden | Bitcoin transactions are public and permanently stored | | Your website | Public | Anyone can load a public site | ## What does “private” mean for a web host? **Private hosting has three layers: what the host asks, what it keeps, and whose law it answers to.** 1. **At signup.** The host does not ask for ID. See [web hosting without KYC](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-without-kyc/ "Can I get web hosting without ID verification?"). 2. **After signup.** The host keeps as little about you as it can while running the service. 3. **When someone asks.** The host answers to its company’s law and to the law of the datacenter’s country. Hosts differ on each layer. The word “private” on a homepage does not say which layers it covers. ## Who keeps the server logs of my website? At Velumhold, you do. We keep no logs of who you are: no connection records of the dashboard and no IP addresses of customers. The web server keeps the access logs of your own sites in your account, for you, and you can switch them off. Two sources show why that point matters. The Apache documentation says the server access log records all requests the server processes, and it can include the IP address of the client. Recital 30 of the GDPR lists IP addresses among the online identifiers that can be linked to a person. So if you keep access logs, you hold data about your visitors. Decide what you need, keep it only as long as you need it, and switch the logs off if you do not need them. ## What does a host still have to keep for billing? A host that takes payments needs records of them. We hold only what billing and running your account need: the account number and an email if you add one; every top-up and order (amount, coin, network, transaction ID, date); and per hosting account its plan, term, location, starting point, SSH public key if you gave one, and dates. No record leaves us without an order from a Panamanian court. A transaction ID points to an entry on a public blockchain, so a billing record at the host matches a record anyone can read. A Monero entry shows neither sender nor amount, but the host's record still ties that payment to the account and its orders. One host in the survey, 1984 Hosting, says it keeps bookkeeping for 7 years. ## What do other hosts say they log? According to Velumhold's survey of 2 November 2026, 4 of the 5 other hosts in this table say they log, or may log, IP addresses. These lines summarize their privacy pages, so read the pages before you decide. | Host | What its privacy page says | | --- | --- | | Velumhold | No connection records of the dashboard and no customer IP addresses; the access logs of your own sites stay in your account | | 1984 Hosting | Logs the IP address, time and duration of visits, plus browser and OS details, when a 1984 service is accessed; uses IPs to diagnose problems; keeps bookkeeping for 7 years | | FlokiNET | Logs IP, time and duration of visits to its own services; in some cases network access logs may be kept at its discretion | | IncogNET | May log IPs tied to new orders and sign-ups and standard web server access logs; says ordinary logging does not by itself identify a user | | Packetra | Logs IP addresses and standard web server logs for security and fraud prevention; keeps billing records as the law requires | | OrangeWebsite | Says it gathers only the minimum data and stores it encrypted, and releases no information to foreign authorities; no server-log retention statement found | *Prices checked on November 2, 2026.* ## How does jurisdiction affect a private host? Three legal systems can touch your site: the company’s, the datacenter’s and your own. - **The company.** Velumhold belongs to DomaineGoat LLC, a company incorporated in Panama that answers to Panamanian law alone. Each datacenter that houses our servers is bound by the law of the country it sits in. - **The datacenter.** Servers sit in Reykjavik (Iceland), Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Bucharest (Romania): every plan in every location, at the same price. For the Reykjavik location, read [Iceland web hosting](https://velumhold.com/iceland-web-hosting/ "Is Iceland a good place to host a website?"). - **You and your visitors.** Check what your own country’s law says about what you publish. The [acceptable use policy](https://velumhold.com/acceptable-use/ "Acceptable Use Policy") lists what the host forbids. How the company handles requests is explained in [how we work](https://velumhold.com/how-we-work/ "How does Velumhold web hosting work, from payment to a live site?"). ## Does private hosting cover my domain name? No. Domains are not sold here: point a domain you own to the account with two nameservers or an A record. Your registrar decides what its WHOIS or RDAP record shows. ICANN’s guide for registrants says a domain owner must provide accurate information for directories such as WHOIS. Its Registration Data Policy, in force since 21 August 2025, requires registrars to redact personal data in public output where the law requires it. Since 28 January 2025, RDAP is the definitive source for generic top-level domain registration data, in place of WHOIS. So choose a registrar with the same care as a host, and read what it publishes about you. ## Is paying in crypto private? Less than people assume. bitcoin.org states that all Bitcoin transactions are public, traceable and permanently stored in the Bitcoin network. The host never learns your name from the payment, but your wallet’s history stays visible. Monero is built differently: a public explorer shows neither the sender nor the amount of a Monero payment. Velumhold accepts it, and still keeps the usual billing record of the top-up, with its transaction ID. It advises a new address for each incoming payment and separate wallets for different purposes. The [Bitcoin payment guide](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-with-bitcoin/ "How do I pay for web hosting with Bitcoin?") shows where that fits. ## How can I check that a host is really private? Five checks, all on public pages. 1. **Read the signup form** — List every field you must fill in. A name, address, phone number or ID upload means the host knows who you are. 2. **Read the payment page** — Find out who receives your coins: the host or a processor with its own rules. 3. **Read the privacy page** — Look for what is logged, for visitors and for customers, and for how long. 4. **Find the company and the datacenter** — Note which company owns the service and in which country the servers sit. 5. **Keep the domain apart** — Check what your registrar publishes in the registration record. ## Private web hosting: common questions ### Does private web hosting mean nobody can see my site? No. A public site is public. Private hosting limits what the host asks and keeps about you, not who can load your pages. ### Does Velumhold keep logs of my visitors? We keep no logs of who you are: no connection records of the dashboard and no IP addresses of customers. The web server keeps the access logs of your own sites in your account, for you, and you can switch them off. ### What does Velumhold know about me? We hold only what billing and running your account need: the account number and an email if you add one; every top-up and order (amount, coin, network, transaction ID, date); and per hosting account its plan, term, location, starting point, SSH public key if you gave one, and dates. No record leaves us without an order from a Panamanian court. ### Is paying in crypto private? Only up to a point. The host sees no name, but a Bitcoin or stablecoin transaction is public on the blockchain. Monero hides sender and amount from outsiders, though the host still links the payment to your account. ### Can I publish anything on private hosting? No. Forbidden: spam or bulk email, phishing, malware or botnet command, DDoS or other attacks, scanning or brute-forcing other people’s systems, carding or fraud, child sexual abuse material, cryptocurrency mining, and any service to sanctioned people or companies. **Host a site with no ID and no customer logs** Tulle, Chiffon and Velvet start at $2.49 a month on the yearly term. Account number, crypto, no KYC. [See the plans](https://velumhold.com/pricing/ "How much does Velumhold web hosting cost?") ## Sources 1.

Velumhold has 3 plans from $2.49 a month, WordPress installed, no KYC, paid in BTC, USDT and more. - URL: https://velumhold.com/wordpress-hosting-with-crypto/ - Last updated: 2026-11-02 - Publisher: Velumhold (https://velumhold.com) What a WordPress site needs from a host, which Velumhold plan fits which site, and the steps from payment to a live site on your own domain. **Quick answer — Where can I get WordPress hosting paid in crypto?** **Velumhold** sells WordPress hosting paid in crypto with no KYC. Pick “WordPress, installed” at checkout and the account arrives with WordPress set up on your domain. Plans run from $2.49 a month on the yearly term for 1 website to $4.99 for unlimited websites (prices of 2 November 2026), paid in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR. ## WordPress at Velumhold | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Starting point | Pick “WordPress, installed” at checkout and the account arrives with WordPress set up on your domain; pick “Empty account” to upload your own site | | Control panel | A web control panel for files, domains, email, databases, SSL certificates and backups | | SSL | Free SSL certificates (Let’s Encrypt), issued and renewed automatically for every domain on the account | | Email | Email accounts on your own domain with webmail, IMAP and SMTP; outgoing mail is rate-limited to keep spam off the servers | | Backups | Automatic daily backups of files and databases, kept for 7 to 30 days depending on the plan; restore one from the control panel or ask support | | Moving a site in | Moving an existing site in is free: send support a backup or the old host’s login and the team copies it over | | ID at signup | No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number | ## What does a WordPress site need from its host? WordPress.org lists what a host must provide. It recommends PHP 8.3 or greater, MariaDB 10.11 or greater or MySQL 8.0 or greater, and support for HTTPS. It names Apache and Nginx as the most robust web servers. **A WordPress host must give you four things: PHP, a database, HTTPS and disk space for your media files.** At Velumhold the control panel handles databases and SSL. A web control panel for files, domains, email, databases, SSL certificates and backups. The plan pages do not publish PHP or server software versions. If your theme or plugins need a given version, ask support before you order. A person answers support emails within 12 hours, seven days a week, including help with DNS records, WordPress, email accounts and moving a site in. ## What is the “WordPress, installed” starting point? It is a choice you make at checkout. Pick “WordPress, installed” at checkout and the account arrives with WordPress set up on your domain; pick “Empty account” to upload your own site. The team sets WordPress up when it creates your account. Once your payment is confirmed, a member of the team creates your hosting account within minutes, and within the hour at the very latest; follow its status in the dashboard until the control panel login appears. Choose the empty account if you already have a site. Moving an existing site in is free: send support a backup or the old host’s login and the team copies it over. The [move guide](https://velumhold.com/move-your-website/ "How do I move my website to a new host without downtime?") shows how a move goes. ## Which Velumhold plan fits which WordPress site? The number of websites is the limit to watch.

When a top-up is only made to reach the minimum, the unspent part comes back on request within 30 days of payment, in USDT or USDC. The rest of a balance is not paid out unless the law requires it. - Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min · XMR ≈ 20 min ## How do I put a WordPress site live, step by step? Seven steps from the plan page to a site on your own domain. 1. **Choose a plan and a starting point** — Pick Tulle, Chiffon or Velvet, a term and a location. Choose “WordPress, installed”, or “Empty account” to upload your own site. 2. **Top up in crypto** — Pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR. The minimum top-up is $1. The Bitcoin guide and the USDT guide walk through a payment. 3. **Wait for the account** — Once your payment is confirmed, a member of the team creates your hosting account within minutes, and within the hour at the very latest; follow its status in the dashboard until the control panel login appears. 4. **Point your domain** — Domains are not sold here: point a domain you own to the account with two nameservers or an A record. Amazon’s Route 53 documentation says a name server change can take up to two days to take effect, because DNS resolvers cache name servers. 5. **Check the SSL padlock** — Free SSL certificates (Let’s Encrypt), issued and renewed automatically for every domain on the account. Let’s Encrypt checks that you control a domain before it issues a certificate; its most common check requests a file from your web server. Until the domain reaches your account, that check cannot pass. If the padlock is missing once the domain points to the account, write to support. 6. **Create your email accounts** — Email accounts on your own domain with webmail, IMAP and SMTP; outgoing mail is rate-limited to keep spam off the servers. The email guide covers the DNS records. 7. **Know your backups** — Automatic daily backups of files and databases, kept for 7 to 30 days depending on the plan; restore one from the control panel or ask support. ## How does Velumhold compare with WordPress plans at other hosts?

Yes, with BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR. You top up a balance first, then order. The minimum top-up is $1. Your balance has no expiry date and pays for any of your hosting accounts. It is not paid back out unless the law requires it; the one exception is the unspent part of a top-up made only to reach the minimum, which returns in USDT or USDC if you ask within 30 days of payment. The payment steps differ a little by coin and network. See [how to pay with Bitcoin](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-with-bitcoin/ "How do I pay for web hosting with Bitcoin?") and [how to pay with USDT](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-with-usdt/ "How do I pay for web hosting with USDT (TRC-20 or ERC-20)?"). ## WordPress hosting with crypto: common questions ### Does Velumhold install WordPress for me? Yes, if you ask. Pick “WordPress, installed” at checkout and the account arrives with WordPress set up on your domain; pick “Empty account” to upload your own site. Once your payment is confirmed, a member of the team creates your hosting account within minutes, and within the hour at the very latest; follow its status in the dashboard until the control panel login appears. ### How many WordPress sites can one account run? The plans allow 1 website (Tulle), 10 (Chiffon) and unlimited websites (Velvet). The starting point sets up WordPress on your domain; add other domains in the control panel. A person answers support emails within 12 hours, seven days a week, including help with DNS records, WordPress, email accounts and moving a site in. ### Can I move my existing WordPress site to Velumhold? Yes. Moving an existing site in is free: send support a backup or the old host’s login and the team copies it over. Read the [move guide](https://velumhold.com/move-your-website/ "How do I move my website to a new host without downtime?") first. ### Do I need ID to buy WordPress hosting? No. No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number. Your account number alone signs you in; an email address is yours to add or to leave out. See [web hosting without KYC](https://velumhold.com/web-hosting-without-kyc/ "Can I get web hosting without ID verification?"). ### Is SSL included with the plans? Yes. Free SSL certificates (Let’s Encrypt), issued and renewed automatically for every domain on the account. **Start a WordPress site on your own domain** Chiffon, the plan marked “Most chosen”, costs $3.74 a month on the yearly term. Crypto, no KYC. [Choose a plan](https://velumhold.com/pricing/ "How much does Velumhold web hosting cost?") ## Sources 1.
