Prices checked on
Prices in US dollars per month. “May ask”: the host or its payment processor says it may ask for more than an email (billing details, verification or ID). “Not checked”: we did not inspect the signup. “about”: a renewal we infer from a list price. “Not captured”: not recorded.
According to Velumhold's survey of 2 November 2026, 14 of the 18 hosts accept crypto in some form, including 12 of the 15 that sell shared hosting. 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.
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.
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. More: why web hosting costs more at renewal.
cPanel is the most common panel: 9 of the 15 shared-hosting sellers use it. IncogNET uses DirectAdmin. 1984 Hosting, Hostinger and SiteGround run their own. 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.
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 same survey scores 13 hosts on coins, ID and renewal price in what is the best web hosting that accepts crypto, and every term is on the pricing page.

A one-day survey of public pages, read on 2 November 2026.
At the 8 crypto-accepting hosts that publish a 12-month price, the cheapest plan cost $2.19 to $5.95 a month on 2 November 2026, median $3.52. Velumhold's Tulle costs $2.49 a month on the yearly term.
On 2 November 2026, four hosts that sell shared hosting asked for no ID at signup: 1984 Hosting, FlokiNET, IncogNET and Packetra. All four list Bitcoin. Velumhold takes BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. No KYC, at signup or at any later point: no ID, no selfie, no documents, no card, no phone number.
Often not. At the 4 hosts that publish both prices for 11 plans, renewal was 2.0 to 9.0 times the first-term price. Compare the renewal price, not the headline. See why renewals cost more.
