Payment methods OffshorePress accepts

How a hosting bill is paid is a decision about who knows. A card processor knows; a card processor's bank knows; a card processor's regulator knows; the chain of audit between those parties is designed to be traversable on demand, and a hosting provider that asks for a card number is asking the customer to publish the purchase to that chain. OffshorePress does not accept cards, does not operate a payment processor relationship, and does not maintain a fiat banking trail against which subscriber payments could be subpoenaed. The hosting layer asks for the minimum it needs.

Four payment routes are accepted. Three are cryptocurrencies settled through self-hosted infrastructure that OffshorePress operates directly — no third-party processor sits between the wallet and the operator. The fourth is a postal route for customers who reject electronic settlement entirely. The dossiers below set out the technical posture, the privacy property, and the operational walkthrough for each.

The four-route shortlist is deliberate. The reader should not have to triage among twelve token options on a chain-by-chain dropdown and infer the privacy posture from a tier badge; the operator has made the editorial choice. Monero for default privacy, Lightning for a recurring monthly cycle, on-chain Bitcoin for invoices where Lightning is not the first choice, and the envelope when electronic settlement is itself the wrong fit for the work.
