01
Fund any available server configuration with XMR
XMR funding does not limit hardware choice. Once USD credit is present, choose among 15 physical-server configurations, plus a US region, operating system, quantity, and weekly or 30-day term. Prices start at $21 and $69.
Evaluate CPU, ECC memory, raw and usable storage, network, and recovery needs before paying. A whole server gives you operating-system control, while application security, encryption keys, updates, and backups remain your responsibility.
02
Use the Monero network from address to credit
Select XMR on the Monero network in Billing to view the operator's fixed, shared receiving address. Verify the complete address and network in the sending wallet before approval. Save the transaction reference or wallet record, destination, amount, and sending time without exposing wallet secrets.
The separate provider adapter specifies 10 confirmations. The following table records its stages, not the manual panel's behavior. A wallet's sent state is not Tungsto balance; this panel monitors no confirmations and creates no USD credit.
Use the Monero network from address to credit| Checkpoint | Meaning | Customer decision |
|---|
| XMR address returned | A destination exists for the Monero route | Compare the entire address before sending |
|---|
| Transfer sent | The wallet recorded an outgoing payment | Preserve the non-secret transaction details |
|---|
| Confirmation in progress | The required threshold has not yet produced ledger credit | Do not place an order against it |
|---|
| USD credit recorded | The ledger can include the settled value | Verify sufficient balance, then order |
|---|
03
Understand where Monero payment privacy stops
Monero is the payment network used for this deposit route. It does not make later server activity invisible. Account sessions, order timing, assigned IP addresses, management actions, and traffic across external networks are separate from the payment protocol and may create operational records or be observed by other parties.
Registration does not ask for email, phone, legal name, or identity documents, but no KYC does not guarantee anonymity. Tungsto retains records needed for payment, service, and security. Choose access and application controls for your threat model.
04
Reconcile XMR sent with USD credit received
Tungsto orders and renewals spend a USD-denominated ledger. Billing does not present an expected USD credit or provider quote before you send XMR. Treat the outgoing coin amount and the later USD ledger entry as separate values, and check the completed credit before choosing an order total.
Tungsto adds no deposit fee, but wallets, exchanges, or the network may charge their own costs. Timing varies, so fund before the balance is needed rather than relying on a last-minute renewal transfer.
05
Keep useful evidence without sharing wallet secrets
If credit is missing, first compare the selected asset, Monero network, full destination, sending time, amount, and confirmation progress with your wallet record. A transfer sent with the wrong asset or through an unsupported route may not match the expected deposit and may be unrecoverable.
Provide only non-secret transfer details. Tungsto never needs a seed, private spend key, password, or recovery code. The public contact handle is declarative and does not authenticate account ownership.
06
Do not confuse paying with XMR and hosting a Monero node
This page covers using XMR to fund a rental. Running Monero software is a separate workload involving storage growth, bandwidth, synchronization, access, monitoring, upgrades, backups, and recovery. Payment choice does not size the machine.
Use the blockchain-node solution guide to define that workload, compare the catalogue, and record capacity headroom. After an order is accepted, provisioning is queued; the queue state confirms receipt rather than completed installation. Install and verify node software only after the server is delivered and access is working.
Direct answers
Questions before you order
Does paying with Monero make server use anonymous?
No. Server traffic, sessions, timing, assigned addresses, and operational records are separate from the XMR transfer. Choose access, application, and network controls for your risk model.
When does an XMR transfer become spendable balance?
Only after USD credit is actually recorded. The legacy adapter's 10 confirmations setting does not enable manual top-up credit; this panel does not match or credit XMR transfers.
Do I need to provide a Monero wallet key to resolve a deposit?
No. Never provide a seed, private spend key, password, or recovery code. Keep only the destination, amount, time, and non-secret transfer reference for reconciliation.
Is Monero node software included with an XMR-funded server?
No. XMR funds the rental. Node operation is a separate workload requiring suitable hardware, synchronization, storage, bandwidth, hardening, monitoring, updates, and backups.
