Paying by card.

There are two ways to pay us with a Visa or Mastercard. PayPal is the direct one and works for most people. If PayPal will not serve your country or your card, the second route takes about three minutes and needs nothing installed.

Same price either way

Two Card Routes

Start with the first. Use the second only if the first will not take your card.

PayPal

PayPal is our card processor. In most countries it accepts a Visa or Mastercard directly at its checkout without you creating a PayPal account — look for the “Pay with debit or credit card” option on the PayPal screen.

  • Selectable at checkout right now
  • Usually no account required
  • No minimum, invoice clears at once
  • Not available in every country

If PayPal will not work

Card → Bitcoin

A licensed payment service takes your card, converts the amount, and sends it to us. You never open a wallet or hold a coin — it is a card payment with one extra screen, then a short message to us so we can match it to your order.

  • Works where PayPal does not
  • Nothing to install or store
  • Photo ID on your first purchase
  • $10 minimum, confirmed by us

The Card → Bitcoin Route, Step by Step

Four steps. Only the third one involves your card.

  1. 1

    Place the order and choose Card

    Order as normal in the client area and choose Pay with Card at the payment step. You are not paying yet — this generates the invoice.

  2. 2

    Work out the amount to buy

    Enter your invoice total in the calculator below. It adds a margin for the card and network fees so the payment does not arrive short.

  3. 3

    Buy that amount with your card

    Open one of the services below, pay with your Visa or Mastercard, and send it to our Bitcoin address — copy button provided.

  4. 4

    Send us the reference

    Email us your invoice number and the transaction ID from the card service. We confirm the payment against your invoice and the server is deployed.

Not sure at any point? Open a ticket before you pay rather than after — a Bitcoin transfer cannot be reversed once it is sent.

Work Out What to Buy

The fees come out of the amount you buy, so buying the exact invoice total leaves the payment short. This gives you the figure to use.

Keep your transaction ID. This address serves every customer, so the payment does not identify itself. After paying, send us your invoice number and the transaction ID and we will confirm it against your order.

These are independent companies, not VPS For Life. Your card is charged by them and appears on your statement under their name. Check the destination address on their screen matches the one above before you confirm.
