Do I need to verify my identity to pay?

Not with EQVPS — we only ask for an email. But if you're buying crypto with a card at an exchange, that exchange usually runs its own ID check. Some small-amount exchangers skip it. Once you hold the crypto, paying EQVPS needs no ID.

Which network should I choose?

The one shown on your checkout page. If you get a choice, pick Base or Tron — their fees are cents, while Ethereum can cost several dollars.

What if I send on the wrong network?

The funds likely won't arrive and are very hard to recover. Always match the network to what checkout displays — this is the single mistake to avoid.

What's the difference between USDT and USDC?

Both are stablecoins worth about $1. Use whichever your checkout accepts and whichever is easier for you to buy — EQVPS takes both.

I sent slightly more than the amount — is it lost?

No. Any surplus is credited to your EQVPS balance and applies to this or your next invoice.

How to pay in crypto (even if you've never used it)

Never bought crypto before? Here's how to get USDT or USDC and pay for your server in a few minutes — which network to pick, where to buy, and the one mistake that loses money.

You picked a plan, reached the payment page, and it's asking for USDC or USDT. If you've never touched crypto, that can feel like a wall. It isn't — you can go from zero to a running server in a few minutes. Here's the honest, no-jargon version.

First: what you actually need

You need a stablecoin — USDC or USDT. "Stable" means it's pegged to the US dollar: 1 USDT is always about $1. No price swings, no watching charts. If your server costs $5, you send $5 worth — 5 USDT. That's the whole idea. (Plus a small network fee — more on that below.)

If you already have crypto anywhere

Skip ahead. Any wallet or exchange that holds USDC or USDT can send it — jump to Sending the payment.

If you have zero crypto: getting USDT

The most common way — and the one that works across most of Europe, including where card buttons say "country not supported" — is P2P on a major exchange. In plain terms: you buy USDT directly from another person, paying with your normal bank card or transfer.

Major exchanges — Binance, Bybit, OKX, KuCoin — all have a P2P section. You pick a seller, pay them in your local currency (card, or a bank transfer via Monobank, PrivatBank, and so on), and they release USDT to your exchange account. The exchange holds the USDT in escrow until your payment clears, so neither side can cheat.
Honest note on ID: to buy crypto with a card at these exchanges, they'll usually ask you to verify your identity first — that's the exchange's rule, not ours. EQVPS never asks for your ID; the place where you buy the crypto often does.

Prefer no ID for a small amount? Crypto exchangers are an option. Aggregators like BestChange list dozens of them side by side with live rates; some sell small amounts with just a card and no verification. Check the exchanger's reserve and rating before you send anything.

Either way, you end up with USDT (or USDC) in a wallet or exchange account. Now you pay.

Sending the payment — the part that matters

Back on the EQVPS checkout, you'll see a deposit address, a QR code, and a network (Base, Ethereum, or Tron). Two things — and the first is the one that costs people money.

1. Send on the SAME network shown. If checkout says Base, send on Base. If it says Tron, send on Tron. Sending USDT on the wrong network means the funds don't arrive and are very hard to recover — every crypto service warns about this, and it's the most common mistake there is. When you withdraw from your exchange, it asks which network — pick the one EQVPS is showing.

2. Pick a cheap network if you get the choice. Ethereum fees can be several dollars; Base and Tron are cents. For a $5 server you don't want a $4 fee — if checkout offers a choice, Base or Tron keeps it tiny.

Then: copy the exact deposit address (or scan the QR), and send the exact amount shown, on the right network. Send a little over by accident? The surplus lands in your EQVPS balance — nothing is lost.

After you send

The page scans for your deposit automatically. On Base or Tron it usually confirms in under a minute; on Ethereum it can take a few minutes when the network is busy. Once it lands, your server activates on its own — no further steps from you.

The short version

Get USDT or USDC (P2P on a major exchange with your card, or a crypto exchanger).
On checkout, note the network — Base, Ethereum, or Tron.
Withdraw/send on that network, the exact amount, to the address shown.
Wait about a minute — your server is live.
