This seems promising, i always wanted to buy some VPSES from digitalocean but the sign up forms of them, and the payment processing are a pain in the arse.

I'm going to try your service somewhere later this week, and i'll let you know how it went.

Some questions i do have:

Are you simply reselling them for the same price, if not, how much % extra do i pay compared to buying it with CC? Also, did you get permission to do this from Digitalocean et al?

All feedback is great, thanks! 

In regards to your questions, we charge a % on top of our host costs, which helps to cover our fees & running costs and support/dev time.

We contacted all of our supported hosts before starting this service and they are fine with us reselling.

Its a good service. Now I can get a vps for my url shortner by paying in cryptocurrency. If I buy a vps from your site, will you help me to set up my site in vps? Because I haven't used VPS before. Also someone was telling me I should  get a cpanel if I use vps because it wont come with the vps package like shared hosting. Can you please help me to clarify it?

That's nice. I wanted to try Vultr some time ago but they required a credit card (or was Paypal?) before accepting Bitcoin payments.

How do you create those servers? Do you have any kind of access to them, or are they generated with some kind of API or something like that?

We have no access to the servers. We completely disable login with a password. You give your public SSH key which means only you yourself can access your server. The servers are through our supported hosts themselves.

We also let you try our service for free with $0.50 worth of credit for you to use on any host and server you want.
