How to Host a Website on a Crypto-Paid VPS

Hosting a website on your own VPS gives you full control — any stack, any config — for a few dollars a month. Here's the straight path to a live site, paid in crypto.

Deploy the server

Create a small VPS with Ubuntu. A 1 GB box handles most personal and small business sites comfortably. You'll have root in about 60 seconds.

Install a web server

Nginx is a solid default:

apt update && apt install -y nginx
systemctl enable --now nginx

Visit your server's IP and you'll see the default nginx page.

Point your domain

At your domain registrar, add an A record pointing to your server's IPv4 (and an AAAA record to its IPv6). Give DNS a little time to propagate.

Add free HTTPS

A modern option like Caddy gets you automatic Let's Encrypt certificates with almost no config, or use certbot with nginx. Either way, HTTPS is free and automatic these days.

Upload your site

Copy your files into the web root (for nginx, /var/www/html) via git or scp, and you're live.

Why self-host?

• Full control — any language, framework or database.
• No platform limits — run exactly what you want.
• Cheap — from $10/month, billed hourly.
• Private — crypto payment, no KYC, dedicated IP.
