About bithost
bithost lets you top up a balance in crypto and deploy DigitalOcean, Linode or Vultr servers billed hourly, without a card. It lists Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, stablecoins, Monero, Zcash and hundreds of other tokens, with a $20 minimum top-up. Its privacy policy says it stores an email address, a hashed password and transaction and server records, and does not collect a name, phone number or address; the FAQ says a valid email is mandatory and disposable addresses are banned. Servers run on the three upstream clouds, whose own terms apply. All payments are final, balances cannot be withdrawn, and any refund is account credit only. The operator is described only as the bithost team, with no company named.
