- A Tihost VPS is paid from a balance in US dollars, and the balance is topped up in five ways: Heleket, CryptoBot and xRocket (crypto), LZT Market (Lolzteam balance) and a Russian card or SBP (LAVA or Platega).
- Heleket, LAVA and Platega charge no fee, xRocket carries no Tihost fee; CryptoBot adds 3% and LZT Market 5%.
- USDT for a Tihost VPS is accepted via Heleket, CryptoBot and xRocket, TON and BTC via the @CryptoBot and @xRocket Telegram wallets; the minimum top-up is $0.10 and crediting is automatic.
- When paying for a VPS with crypto, send exactly the amount, coin and network shown in the invoice: a transfer on a different network may not be recognised by the payment provider.
- A Tihost account needs no identity verification (KYC): an email, Google or Telegram account is enough, and paying for a server 12 months upfront gives 20% off.
Which payment methods are available
| Method | What you pay with | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Heleket | Crypto by direct transfer to an address; coins and networks are listed on the payment page | No fee |
| CryptoBot | USDT, TON, BTC and other coins from the @CryptoBot wallet in Telegram | +3% |
| xRocket | USDT, TON, BTC and other coins from the @xRocket wallet in Telegram | No Tihost fee |
| LZT Market | Lolzteam balance | +5% |
| LAVA / Platega | Russian bank card or SBP | No fee |
Every method works both in the web panel and in the Telegram bot @tihost_bot. The balance is shared: top up in the bot, pay for a server on the website, and vice versa.
How to top up and pay for a server
- Open «Top Up Balance» in the panel or tap «Top up balance» in the bot.
- Enter the amount in dollars - from $0.10 - and pick a payment method.
- Press «Top Up» and pay the invoice on the provider's page or in the Telegram wallet.
- Wait for the credit: the top-up page checks the payment every 5 seconds, and «Check Payment» checks it right away.
- Order a server in «Buy Server» - its price is charged to the balance. The whole order is walked through in the guide to buying a VPS.
How long crediting takes
The balance is credited as soon as the payment provider confirms the payment. Transfers inside Telegram wallets (CryptoBot, xRocket) and card payments confirm almost instantly; a direct crypto transfer confirms after blockchain confirmations, which depend on the network. If an invoice expires, create a new one - an unpaid invoice charges nothing.
How not to miss a renewal
Renewals are charged to the balance too. Turn on auto-renewal for the server and keep enough for the next period on the balance - the rental then extends itself. Paying for 3, 6 or 12 months upfront gives 10, 15 or 20% off.
Is identity verification required
Not for a Tihost account: an email, Google or Telegram account is enough. Payment providers may have their own rules, such as limits or checks on certain operations; those are described on their side.
