TL;DR
- 01
Pay in XRP — settled on the XRP Ledger in 3–5 seconds, with a fee of a fraction of a cent. Among the fastest ways to fund a balance.

Why XRP for hosting
Settlement at the speed of a click.
Negligible fees
An XRP transaction costs a tiny fraction of a cent. For frequent or small top-ups it is one of the cheapest rails available, with none of the gas-fee volatility of Ethereum.
Pseudonymous
XRP Ledger transactions are public, so payment is pseudonymous, not private. NordBastion never ties it to an identity because it collects none — but for a payment with no public trace, pay in Monero.
How to pay with XRP

-
$23.90 / MO
Ravelin — production
8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 480 GB NVMe. The featured tier for a real application or a Docker-Compose stack.
-
$89.90 / MO

Verdict
XRP is the fast lane. Seconds to settle, cents to send.
When you want a top-up credited almost the instant you send it, XRP is hard to beat — three-to-five-second settlement and a negligible fee. Ideal for getting a server up the moment you decide to.
It is pseudonymous on a public ledger. For a payment that leaves no trace, pay in Monero; for a stable bill, use USDT or USDC. The signup never asks your name.
FAQ · XRP VPS
Buying a VPS with XRP, answered.
The questions people ask before paying for a server in XRP on a host that runs no identity check.
Can I buy a VPS with XRP on NordBastion?
Yes. XRP is a first-class payment coin: open an account with an email and a password, top up in XRP, and deploy a VPS pinned to a Nordic bastion. No identity document, no card, no KYC.
Do I need a destination tag?
If the panel shows a destination tag for your XRP top-up, include it when you send so the payment is credited to your account. Sending without a required tag can delay crediting — always copy both the address and the tag shown.
How fast does XRP settle?
The XRP Ledger finalises transactions in about three to five seconds. Your balance is credited almost immediately, after which a VPS deploys in around 90 seconds.
What are XRP fees?
A fraction of a cent per transaction — among the lowest of any coin we accept. That makes XRP a good fit for frequent or smaller top-ups.
Is paying with XRP private?
XRP Ledger transactions are public, so payment is pseudonymous, not anonymous. NordBastion never links a payment to an identity because it collects none. For payment privacy, pay in Monero.
Is the price fixed in XRP or dollars?
Your balance is held in USD value; the XRP amount is set at the moment you pay, so volatility never changes what a server costs. For zero volatility, use a stablecoin.
