WordPress hosting guide
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.
| 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 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 |
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 The plan pages do not publish PHP or server software versions.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.
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. A member of the team creates your hosting account after your payment is confirmed, within 24 hours, so delivery is not instant; 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 shows how a move goes.
The number of websites is the limit to watch. Chiffon is the plan marked “Most chosen” at checkout.

Seven steps from the plan page to a site on your own domain.
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.
Top up in crypto
Pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. The minimum top-up is $25. The Bitcoin guide and the USDT guide walk through a payment.
Wait for the account
A member of the team creates your hosting account after your payment is confirmed, within 24 hours, so delivery is not instant; follow its status in the dashboard until the control panel login appears.
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.
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.
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.
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.

FlokiNET’s price is its cheapest location, converted from euros at the ECB rate of 30 October 2026. OrangeWebsite publishes no separate renewal price. Some plans list extras that Velumhold does not list: Redis (OrangeWebsite), Imunify360, Patchman and a web application firewall (Shinjiru). Velumhold’s plan pages list no managed-WordPress tools, so compare features as well as price. The ID column follows the no-KYC survey. The price index covers all 18 hosts.
Yes, with BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. You top up a balance first, then order. The minimum top-up is $25. 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 and how to pay with USDT.
