## What it means

Monero uses its own network and XMR asset. Its design differs from public-ledger cryptocurrencies, but a secure wallet and correct invoice handling still matter.

## For hosting

An XMR payment does not secure an exposed server or hide information voluntarily supplied to support. Keep account, workload and payment privacy separate.

## What information does support actually need?

An invoice reference and supported payment proof can help resolve crediting. A wallet seed or private key is never the appropriate evidence to send to a hosting provider.
