So, I decided to try hosting a couple of personal projects on a VPS that accepts Bitcoin payments. Not because I’m trying to go full crypto-anarchist or anything, but honestly—it’s super convenient when I don’t feel like dealing with banks or card declines for offshore services.

Found a provider that let me pay in BTC, no ID required, and had the VPS up in under 10 minutes. Ubuntu, full root access, decent specs for the price, and no questions asked. Just how I like it.

There’s something satisfying about using Bitcoin not just as an investment but actually as a currency. Plus, hosting stuff this way gives a nice little privacy boost—no paper trail, no names attached.

Only downside? BTC transaction fees can spike randomly, and some hosts make you wait for a couple of confirmations before provisioning. But hey, trade-offs.

Anyone else experimenting with Bitcoin VPS setups? Especially curious if anyone’s self-hosting Bitcoin nodes or lightning services.
