Buy a MikroTik VPS with crypto

A MikroTik VPS gives you a virtual server capable of running MikroTik RouterOS Cloud Hosted Router (CHR) in the cloud. Instead of operating RouterOS on physical MikroTik hardware, CHR lets you build a virtual router for VPNs, firewalling, traffic management, network routing, testing, and other networking workloads.

REGXA provides VPS infrastructure suitable for RouterOS CHR, with multiple server locations, NVMe storage, DDoS protection, and cryptocurrency payment options including Bitcoin. If you already know you need RouterOS, open the MikroTik VPS plans and choose the location and resources that fit your network.

Which REGXA page to open

MikroTik / RouterOS commercial intent → MikroTik VPS
Broader crypto VPS checkout → Bitcoin VPS
High-traffic networking → Unlimited Bandwidth VPS
Plan grid and locations → Cloud VPS
Linux base images → Linux VPS

If you already know you need RouterOS CHR, stay on MikroTik VPS. If you need a general-purpose server and will not run RouterOS, start at Linux VPS.

What is a MikroTik VPS?

A MikroTik VPS is a virtual private server configured to run MikroTik RouterOS, usually through the Cloud Hosted Router (CHR) edition.

CHR is MikroTik's RouterOS version designed specifically for virtual machines. You can use many familiar RouterOS networking capabilities without purchasing and deploying a physical MikroTik router.

A MikroTik VPS can be useful for:

VPN gateways and remote-access networks
Site-to-site VPN connections
Firewall and NAT configurations
Traffic shaping and bandwidth management
Network routing
Network laboratories and RouterOS testing
Remote infrastructure management
ISP and advanced networking environments
Private network gateways
Routing between distributed servers and locations

The exact performance of your RouterOS environment depends on the VPS resources, network configuration, RouterOS configuration, CHR license, traffic characteristics, and selected server location.

What is MikroTik RouterOS CHR?

Cloud Hosted Router (CHR) is MikroTik's RouterOS edition designed to operate as a virtual machine.

Instead of requiring RouterBOARD hardware, CHR can run on supported virtualization platforms and provides RouterOS networking functionality inside a VM. That makes CHR useful when you need RouterOS in a data center or cloud environment.

REGXA does not claim a bundled paid CHR license by default. The MikroTik VPS lander says the VPS comes ready for RouterOS installation. Confirm license options on the live order form.

MikroTik CHR license options

MikroTik publishes several CHR license levels. The free edition is useful for testing and lightweight environments. Paid license levels increase the permitted throughput. These are MikroTik's license names and speed limits, not REGXA street prices. Confirm current levels on MikroTik's CHR documentation and the live REGXA cart before you buy.

CHR license	Speed limit	Typical use
Free	1 Mbps	Testing and basic labs
P1	1 Gbps	General routing and VPN workloads
P10	10 Gbps	Higher-throughput environments
P-Unlimited	No enforced limit	Advanced or high-throughput deployments

Your VPS network capacity and your CHR license limit are separate. Buying a VPS with a fast network connection does not automatically remove a RouterOS CHR license limitation. Match the CHR license to the throughput you need.

MikroTik also provides trial options for paid CHR license levels, which can help when you evaluate RouterOS before purchasing a license.

Why run MikroTik RouterOS on a VPS?

Running RouterOS in a virtual environment provides flexibility that physical networking hardware cannot always provide.

Deploy from almost anywhere. A cloud VPS can be deployed in a data center close to your users, servers, customers, or other infrastructure. Lower geographical distance can help when you build VPN gateways, network interconnections, or distributed infrastructure. REGXA locations are listed on Cloud VPS and MikroTik VPS.

Dedicated virtual resources. Unlike shared hosting, a VPS provides allocated computing resources for your virtual server. RouterOS can operate as its own isolated virtual machine with its own operating environment and network configuration.

Remote network management. Because RouterOS is running in a data center, administrators can manage network services remotely without maintaining a physical router at the same location.

Flexible network configurations. Depending on your environment, RouterOS can be configured for routing, firewall policies, NAT, VPNs, bandwidth management, and other networking workloads.

MikroTik VPS with DDoS protection

A router exposed to the public internet can become a target for unwanted traffic and denial-of-service attacks.

REGXA VPS plans include network-level DDoS protection according to the specifications published for the selected service. Published VPS plans include enterprise DDoS protection (17+ Tbps). That figure is about mitigation capacity on the network, not a promise that every CHR rule set stays up under every attack.

DDoS mitigation should not replace a secure RouterOS configuration. You should still:

Restrict management interfaces to trusted IP addresses whenever possible
Use strong, unique credentials
Disable services you do not use
Keep RouterOS updated
Configure firewall rules carefully
Avoid exposing administrative services unnecessarily
Monitor unusual traffic and authentication attempts

Network-level DDoS protection and RouterOS firewall rules serve different purposes. Use them together as a layered security approach.

Can you buy a MikroTik VPS with Bitcoin?

Yes. REGXA supports cryptocurrency payments for eligible VPS orders, including Bitcoin. You can purchase VPS infrastructure without a payment card when a supported cryptocurrency method is available at checkout.

Open MikroTik VPS or a related plan on Cloud VPS. Choose location and billing term. Pay with a supported coin. Bitcoin is one path; other listed coins use the same cart.

Cryptocurrency is a payment method. It does not change how RouterOS works and should not be interpreted as providing anonymity or making network activity untraceable. Always check the current checkout page for available currencies.

If you want the broader crypto VPS story without MikroTik in the title, use Bitcoin VPS.

MikroTik VPS vs Linux VPS

Although both services use virtual server infrastructure, they serve different purposes.

A MikroTik VPS is appropriate when RouterOS/CHR is the operating environment you want for networking. A Linux VPS is generally more appropriate when you need applications such as web servers, Docker, databases, APIs, development environments, application hosting, or Linux networking software.

If your primary requirement is RouterOS, choose a MikroTik/CHR-compatible VPS. If you need a general-purpose server, use a standard Linux VPS. If you need unmetered bulk transfer without routing features, see Unlimited Bandwidth VPS.

How to choose a MikroTik VPS plan

Do not choose a VPS based only on CPU and RAM. For RouterOS workloads, consider several factors.

CPU. Encryption, VPN workloads, firewall processing, queues, and complex routing configurations can increase CPU usage. More demanding networking environments may benefit from additional CPU resources.

RAM. Simple RouterOS installations can operate with relatively modest memory, but larger routing tables, additional services, and complex configurations may require more.

Network capacity. Consider how much traffic you expect the VPS to process. Usable throughput can depend on the VPS network configuration, CHR licensing, RouterOS configuration, workload, and infrastructure.

Server location. Choose a location appropriate for the systems or users that will communicate with the router. For VPN and latency-sensitive networking, geographical distance can matter significantly.

CHR license. Make sure your RouterOS CHR license supports the throughput required by your deployment. A powerful VPS cannot override a CHR license throughput restriction.

How to deploy a MikroTik VPS

Choose a MikroTik-compatible VPS plan on MikroTik VPS.
Select your preferred server location.
Choose the CPU, RAM, storage, and network resources required for your workload.
Confirm the CHR license line in the live cart. If the free 1 Mbps tier is listed, decide whether that is enough for a lab or whether you need a paid option.
Complete checkout using an available payment method, including cryptocurrency where supported. Coin payment does not require a card.
Deploy or install the RouterOS CHR image.
Access RouterOS through the available console or management method.
Immediately secure administrative access.
Configure networking, firewall rules, VPNs, routing, or other required RouterOS services.
Apply the appropriate CHR license for your required throughput.

The exact deployment process may vary depending on the selected REGXA plan and provisioning options.

Secure your RouterOS VPS after deployment

Security should be one of the first tasks after deploying RouterOS. Change any default or temporary credentials immediately. Then review which RouterOS services are enabled and restrict management access wherever possible.

For production environments, consider allowing management access only from trusted IP addresses or through a secure management network or VPN. Do not expose administrative services to the entire internet unless there is a specific reason to do so.

Keeping RouterOS updated is also important because security fixes and networking improvements are released over time.

Check that the image you selected is actually RouterOS CHR, not a generic Linux template you still have to convert. Confirm public IPv4 (and IPv6 if the plan includes it) and outbound routing. REGXA provides the virtual machine, NVMe disk, network port, and DDoS protection listed on the plan. It does not operate your CHR rules for you.

MikroTik VPS use cases

VPN gateway. A MikroTik VPS can operate as a central VPN endpoint connecting remote offices, servers, devices, or authorized users.

Virtual firewall. RouterOS includes firewall and NAT capabilities that can control traffic according to your network architecture.

Network lab. Developers, network engineers, and students can use CHR to experiment with RouterOS without purchasing dedicated physical hardware.

Traffic management. RouterOS includes queues and bandwidth-management functionality that can control how network capacity is allocated.

Remote router. A cloud-hosted RouterOS instance can act as a routing point between servers, networks, or geographically distributed infrastructure.
