Numerous web hosts now accept a range of crypto-currency payments. Hosting.co.uk was one of the UK’s early adopters, accepting them as early as 2013. The recent increased popularity of digital currencies spurred Hosting.co.uk move to adopt payment for several types of currency.

Many Hosting.co.uk clients share our trust in bitcoins and other crypto-currencies. This payment method is not new to us and we are accustomed to dealing with transactions of this nature," added Mr. Schiwek.
