Do I have to pay in advance?

OnionLand Hosting adopts a unique billing approach that is primarily centered around your usage of the onion service. Unlike other hosting services where you might be asked to pay a fixed amount irrespective of your actual usage, with OnionLand Hosting, you are only charged for what you have consumed. This payment method is designed to ensure that you receive value for your money and you're never charged for services you didn't use.

Here's how it works: you first deposit funds into your OnionLand Hosting account. These funds act as your credit for using the onion service. As you use the service, the cost of your usage is deducted from the funds in your account. As long as your account maintains a positive balance, your onion service will continue to operate without any interruptions. This system means you don't have to worry about paying for your tor hosting way ahead of time. Whether you deposit funds for a week or a month in advance doesn't really matter. What's important is that there is enough credit in your account to cover your usage.

The continuation of your service isn't tied to a specific payment schedule. Instead, it's solely dependent on your account credit. As long as there's sufficient credit, your service continues. This offers you maximum flexibility and control over your spending, and ensures that you're only paying for what you use. With OnionLand Hosting, you have a billing approach that's fair, transparent, and tailored to your specific usage, providing you with a cost-effective and hassle-free hosting experience.

You can inspect your account's credit balance, the estimated monthly spent for your tor hosting, and the estimated due date of your credits by going to the "Credit" page on the customer portal.
