Crypto Hosting Checkout: Exactly What Happens at Each Step
A screen-by-screen walkthrough of the Afiahost crypto checkout — from plan selection to wallet transfer to account activation.
Step 1: Choose your hosting plan
Go to the pricing page and compare the three plans side by side. The entry plan starts at $14.99/yr per year and includes one website, the mid-tier adds more storage and multiple sites, and the top tier is for heavier workloads. Every plan includes cPanel, free SSL, Cloudflare CDN, email mailboxes, daily backups and the 99.9% uptime SLA — the only differences are websites, storage and bandwidth.
Click the plan you want and you are taken to the checkout page. If you already know which plan you need, you can go directly to checkout and select it there.
Step 2: Enter your email and domain
On the checkout page, enter the email address you want associated with your hosting account. This is where invoices, provisioning confirmations and support replies are sent, so use an address you check regularly.
Next, handle your domain. Type the domain name you want into the checker — if it is available, you can register it during checkout at the wholesale registrar price. If you already own a domain, enter it and point the nameservers at Afiahost (the welcome email gives you the exact nameserver pair). Bringing your own domain is free.
Step 3: Select your cryptocurrency
After the order is submitted, the payment screen appears. Choose from Bitcoin, USDT, USDC, Ethereum or Litecoin. The invoice — denominated in USD — is instantly converted to your chosen coin at the live market rate. The exact amount, a wallet address and a QR code are displayed.
The exchange rate is locked for fifteen minutes. That means the crypto amount shown on screen does not change while you open your wallet, and you do not need to race the market to send the payment. If the lock expires before you send, the invoice regenerates at the current rate.
Step 4: Send the wallet transfer
Open your wallet — a mobile wallet, desktop wallet, hardware wallet or an exchange withdrawal — and either scan the QR code or copy the address. Send exactly the amount shown, on the network specified (the invoice states the network explicitly for token payments like USDT or USDC).
After the transaction is broadcast, it needs to receive confirmations on the network. Litecoin typically confirms in minutes, Bitcoin and Ethereum take longer depending on network conditions. Once the required confirmations are met, the invoice is marked paid automatically — no manual verification, no waiting for a human to check.
Step 5: Account provisioning
When the payment is confirmed, the system provisions your hosting account automatically. You receive a welcome email with your cPanel login credentials, the nameservers to point your domain at, and instructions for accessing your email and file manager.
Once your domain resolves to the Afiahost nameservers, the free SSL certificate is issued automatically — usually within minutes. At that point your hosting is fully active and you can install WordPress from Softaculous, upload your site files, set up email accounts and start building.
