What is this service?
Gcore is a global edge cloud and CDN provider built around a network of 210+ points of presence across six continents, more than 200 Tbps of capacity, and roughly 30 ms average latency. It serves developers, streaming platforms, gaming studios, SaaS companies, and AI teams who need to deliver content and run workloads close to their users worldwide.
The platform bundles several products under one account: a content delivery network (CDN) with a free tier, edge and cloud virtual machines, bare metal, GPU compute for AI/ML training and inference, managed DNS, always-on L3/L4/L7 DDoS protection, a next-generation WAF, object storage, and low-latency video streaming. You pay from a single prepaid balance that is drawn down as you use each service.
If your local bank card is declined at Gcore's checkout, Mehbit lets you fund a reloadable virtual Visa or Mastercard with USDT and top up your Gcore balance in the Gcore Customer Portal.
Why is payment hard?
Many local bank cards are not authorized for international SaaS billing. Services process payments through Stripe on international rails, so domestic-only cards are often declined even when you have sufficient balance.
Accepted card types
- Virtual Visa
- Virtual Mastercard
- Prepaid
- Debit
- Credit card
- Crypto (direct)
Reloadable virtual Visa and Mastercard cards work at Gcore's checkout because it accepts standard international cards with 3-D Secure. Single-use gift-card BINs and cards that fail AVS can be declined, and Gcore does not accept direct cryptocurrency — fund a Mehbit card with USDT instead.

FAQ
Does Gcore accept virtual Visa or Mastercard?
Yes. Gcore accepts standard international bank cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, UnionPay) with 3-D Secure, and a reloadable virtual Visa or Mastercard works when your billing address details match the card.
Can I pay for Gcore with a Mehbit card?
Yes. Issue a Mehbit virtual Visa or Mastercard, top it up with USDT, and add it in the Gcore Customer Portal under Billing to top up your account balance. The card presents as a normal international card at checkout.
What are Gcore's plans and prices?
Gcore uses a prepaid, consumption-based model. The CDN has a free tier with 1 TB/month; extra CDN traffic is about $0.02/GB. Cloud VMs start from roughly $10/month, and GPU instances from about $1.35/hour, billed by the minute.
Can I pay Gcore directly with crypto (USDT)?
No. Gcore does not accept direct cryptocurrency payments. You can, however, convert USDT into card balance with Mehbit and pay with the resulting virtual Visa or Mastercard.
Is there a free trial?
There is no single universal trial across all products, but the CDN is free forever up to 1 TB/month with no card required, and Gcore periodically offers small cloud trial credits. Paid VMs and GPU need a funded balance.
What if my local bank card is declined at Gcore?
Iranian and other local cards are often declined at international checkouts. Use a Mehbit virtual Visa or Mastercard funded with USDT.
Tips
Load enough USDT onto your Mehbit card to cover your expected balance top-up plus overage — CDN traffic beyond 1 TB is about $0.02/GB and GPU time is billed by the minute, so costs can climb with usage.
Keep your Gcore billing name, address, and postal code consistent with the details registered on your Mehbit card so the 3-D Secure and AVS check passes on the first try.
Start with the free CDN tier (1 TB/month, no card needed) to test integration, then add a card and balance only when you move to paid CDN volume, cloud VMs, or GPU.
Turn on auto-payment carefully: it keeps services running by refilling your balance automatically, but make sure your Mehbit card always has enough USDT balance so a top-up does not fail.
Remember standard accounts bill in EUR — the amount charged to your card can differ slightly from the USD figure due to currency conversion, so keep a small buffer.
