Title: What are some secure hosting options for sites that deal with Bitcoin? Post by: c789 on September 24, 2012, 06:31:04 PM With all of the theft of bitcoins (a huge theft recently occured at a certain VPS provider, and it is suspected to have been an inside job), how can I securely host a website that deals with BTC transactions?
The best option I can think of that is a compromise between security and cost is to host the site on a VPS and transfer BTC to a cold offsite wallet on a daily basis (or more frequently). Any better ideas? Title: Re: What are some secure hosting options for sites that deal with Bitcoin? Post by: shamoons on September 25, 2012, 01:03:34 AM An offline wallet can receive transactions and never be exposed. Then when your hot wallet needs bitcoins, manually send them. So the most you can ever lose is what's in your hot wallet.
