I have personally purchased hosting for my business website from a company that offers crypto payments. But there's no refund or grace period had been offered to me just because I am using crypto payments. If I had used traditional payment methods, I would have got 30 days period to check their service and get a refund if I am not satisfied. Crypto has a long way to go!
Didn't really pay attention to that.
I've only seen Bitcoin payments in the past using the Bitcoin network with multiple confirmations required and a fee to be paid.
If you say it will be more expensive, it's only a small difference with Fiat payments.
Even now payments for Hosting, Domains, or anything else can use the Lightning network which is faster more efficient, and cheaper.
Even many hosting or domain companies such as Namecheap are now using the Lightning network.
It's interesting to see how Bitcoin payments have evolved, especially with the Lightning network. While Lightning offers speed and efficiency, consider https://coinremitter.com/?utm_source=com&utm_medium=bitcointalks as a payment gateway. It supports various cryptocurrencies, offering flexibility in payment options. Coinremitter's security features and easy integration can be valuable for businesses and ensure seamless transactions, providing an alternative solution to suit different preferences in the crypto payment landscape.
Good to see that some Degrees of consumer protection is also available in the crypto market. You may want to reach out to such merchants who do not provide refunds to the crypto payers. Probably you can help them to bring back certain amount trust in the system.
Honestly, I have purchase hosting for 4 years and now unable to move to other providers because the money I spent is huge. I really feel crypto users should get the same amount of facilities as fiat users.
