- A Tihost VPS is paid from a balance in US dollars: the balance is topped up from $0.10 with crypto or a card, then «Buy Server» walks through location, configuration, OS and rental term.
- A Tihost server is deployed in about 2 minutes after payment; the login and password are shown on the «Server is being created» screen, and the IP address on the server card in «My Servers».
- Paying for a Tihost VPS for 3, 6 or 12 months upfront gives 10, 15 or 20% off; the cheapest configuration costs $4.00 per month.
- You can buy a Tihost VPS on tihost.io, in the Telegram bot @tihost_bot or through the public API - none of them requires identity verification (KYC).
Step 1. Sign in or sign up
Open the sign-in page and pick a method: enter your email and press «Continue» - a 6-digit code arrives by email - or press «Sign in with Google» or «Sign in with Telegram». There is no separate sign-up: the account is created on first sign-in, with no documents or KYC.
Step 2. Top up your balance
Open «Top Up Balance», enter the amount in dollars - from $0.10 - and pick a method: crypto via Heleket, CryptoBot or xRocket, an LZT Market balance, or a bank card and SBP. Press «Top Up», pay the invoice and wait for the credit; «Check Payment» checks the payment right away. Fees per method are in how to pay for a VPS with crypto.
Step 3. Pick a location
Go to «Buy Server». The first step, «Pick a server location», offers Germany (Falkenstein), Finland (Helsinki) and Poland (Warsaw); press «Continue». Choose the site closest to your users - latency and CPUs are compared in how to choose a VPS location.
Step 4. Pick a configuration
On «Pick a configuration» each card shows vCPUs, memory, NVMe disk size and the monthly price - from $4.00. A bot or a small site usually needs 1-2 vCPUs and 2-4 GB of memory; how to size a server for a task is in how much RAM a VPS needs.
Step 5. Pick an operating system
On «Pick an OS» first choose the family - Windows, Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux or FreeBSD - then the version. Linux servers usually get a current LTS release of Ubuntu or Debian (which to choose); you can reinstall the OS later from the panel or the bot.
Step 6. Pick the rental term and a name
Under «Billing period» choose 1, 3, 6 or 12 months - 3 months give 10% off, 6 months 15%, 12 months 20%, and the discounted total shows right away. Then fill in «Server name (optional)»: Latin letters, digits, spaces and hyphens, 2 to 49 characters; leave it empty and a name is assigned automatically.
Step 7. Pay and create the server
Check «Your order» and the «Amount due», then press «Pay and Create» - the price is charged to your balance. If the balance is short, the order shows «Insufficient funds» with your current balance and a «Top Up» button. If the server fails to be created for any reason, the money returns to your balance.
Step 8. Get the IP address and password
After payment the «Server is being created» screen shows the login and password - copy them. Deployment takes about 2 minutes; once the server is up, its card in «My Servers» shows the «IP Address» and an «Access» block with the login (root on Linux, Administrator on Windows) and password.

How to buy a VPS in the Telegram bot

- Turn on auto-renewal on the server card and keep enough on the balance for the next period so the rental does not lapse.

FAQ
How long does a Tihost VPS take to be created after payment?

Can I buy a Tihost VPS without identity verification?
Yes. A Tihost account needs only an email, a Google account or Telegram; no documents or KYC are requested, and you can pay for the server with cryptocurrency.
Where do I find the IP address and password of a new VPS?
The login and password appear right after payment on the «Server is being created» screen. The IP address, login and password are always on the server card: «My Servers» on the website, «My servers» in the @tihost_bot bot.
What happens if my balance is too low to buy a server?
You cannot pay for the order yet: the order block shows «Insufficient funds» with your current balance and a «Top Up» button. Your selected configuration is kept, so you can return to payment right after topping up.
Do I get my money back if the server fails to be created?
Yes, if server creation fails, the price is returned to your Tihost balance automatically. If that does not happen, write to support at @tihost_support.
Can I buy a Tihost VPS through the API?
Yes. The Tihost public API buys a server with POST /servers from the account balance; the key is issued in the panel's «API» section or in the bot, and the documentation is at tihost.io/api.
