How to pay

  1. Log in to your account at billing.zevshost.net
  2. Go to the Add Funds section
  3. Select Cryptocurrency
  4. Enter the amount (minimum $5)
  5. Choose the coin and network
  6. Scan the QR code or copy the address
  7. Send the exact amount from your wallet
  8. After confirmations — the balance is credited automatically
⚠️ Check the network! USDT TRC20 and ERC20 use different addresses. Sending to the wrong network leads to loss of funds.

Why a Crypto Payment Is Irreversible, and How That Relates to Refunds

A bank card has an intermediary — the issuing bank — which can initiate a chargeback and return the money even without the seller's consent. A cryptocurrency transfer has no such intermediary: a transaction confirmed by the network can only be undone by a new transaction sent back the other way, voluntarily, by the recipient. If you might need a refund later — say, you're unsure about the plan — paying by card or through PayPal leaves more formal options for that than crypto does. The refund process is described in hosting refunds: when and how.

How the Network Fee Affects the Amount

Example:
Amount needed on the balance: $50.00 in USDT
TRC20 network fee when withdrawing from an exchange: ~1 USDT
Sending exactly $50.00 from the exchange means only $49.00 arrives

What to do: add a margin for the network fee to the amount you send,
or check with the exchange whether the fee is deducted from the
transfer amount or added on top

If less than expected lands on the balance because of the network fee, that is not a fault of ZevsHost's payment system — it's simply how the cryptocurrency network itself works when withdrawing from an exchange.

Common Mistakes When Paying With Cryptocurrency

  • Sending to the wrong network — for example, USDT ERC20 to an address expecting TRC20
  • Sending an amount smaller than the network fee, which leaves the transaction stuck in the mempool
  • Typing the wallet address manually instead of copying it — a typo cannot be undone
  • Paying below the $5 minimum — the payment may not be credited automatically

If You Sent to the Wrong Network

Once a transaction is confirmed by the network, it cannot be canceled — that is not a payment processing error but a property of blockchain technology itself. In some cases the recipient address is technically compatible with both networks, and funds can be recovered through the support of the exchange or wallet you used, but this is not guaranteed and can take weeks. Before sending a payment again, write to ZevsHost support with the hash of the mistaken transaction — sometimes this speeds up finding a solution, even though the funds themselves depend not on ZevsHost but on the specific network's infrastructure.

  • Binance / Bybit — convenient, USDT TRC20 with no fee
  • Trust Wallet — mobile, supports all networks
  • MetaMask — for Ethereum/ERC20

Exchange Rate and Volatility

The amount due is calculated in the invoice currency (USD/EUR) at the moment the invoice is issued, then converted to cryptocurrency at the rate at the moment of payment. If the rate moves noticeably between opening the payment page and sending the transaction, and the network confirms the payment slower than usual, the cryptocurrency amount can drift slightly from what was expected. In that case, write to support with the transaction hash before sending an extra payment at random.

Benefits of paying with cryptocurrency

  • Works from any country
  • No bank card required
  • No sanction restrictions
  • USDT TRC20 — fee under $1

When Paying With Cryptocurrency Doesn't Fit

  • If your accounting needs a bank payment document rather than a crypto payment invoice — check with your accountant whether this format works, with a general overview in taxes when paying for hosting
  • If you're not confident you'll send the exact right amount without mistakes on the first try — the risk of losing funds to an address typo is higher than reversing a card payment
  • If you might need a quick refund — crypto doesn't reverse automatically, unlike canceling a card transaction
💡 The fastest and cheapest option is USDT TRC20. Credited within 1 minute, fee 0.5-1 USDT.

Checking the Result

  • Copy the transaction hash and look it up in the network's block explorer (for example, Tronscan for TRC20)
  • Wait for a "Confirmed" status in the explorer rather than relying only on the fact that you sent it
  • Check that the balance in your account updated by the expected amount in the invoice currency
  • If crediting is delayed longer than usual for the chosen network, contact support with the transaction hash
