You generally don't wanna pay for a seedbox with a CC that can be tied to you anyway lol. Use one of those pre-paid American Express cards to pay for as many months as you can. Also, Feralhosting uses Google checkout or paypal, your choice. And you don't need to use Indian money, it just converts. Feral charges me €10 which comes out to like $16.

try to find a bank who offers prepaid visa cards in your country. after verifying the paypal account by using the prepaid visa card, you will be able to pay for your box.

This makes me think of something I've seen in North America, where they are now offering gift cards at many stores. It is possible to buy a VISA gift card for say 50$, you pay a 5$ fee but you can then use this card (or give it to somebody) and it acts as a prepaid 50$ VISA card. Not sure if this will help in India or not.

Yeah once you can find something that Paypal accepts, you're good, as Paypal automatically converts currencies for you. (For example I'm using USD to Euro through Paypal automatically and it works flawlessly.)

If you are with HDFC bank, there is an option of making 48 hr validity prepaid creditcards using your debit/atm card. But, this can be done only through your net banking account. its instant and can be used for online transactions. If u r with some other bank, u can check the internet account options for the prepaid CC.

SBI do not offer any prepaid CC.

here we go, shitty RBI rules have made it almost impossible for Indian users to buy anything from outside the country ,even i was very troubled to experience this condition when i tried to buy a seedbox ,i searched web for this and come with these solutions
1- HDFC vitual credit card service
2- ICICI virtual credit card service
3- Entropay virtual CC service(i use this one) go to www.entropay.com and create a virtual cc and load money to this card from any Indian band debit card
surely u'l lose a extra couple of dollars to get this working as their service fee but nonetheless it works
