What is Bloom Host?
Bloom Host is the trading name of AME Hosting, LLC, a Virginia company with registration number 11306662, according to the terms of service and footer. The terms define the country as the United States and name no parent company or owner. It sells managed game servers, VPS and bare metal dedicated servers. Three game plans are billed monthly in dollars: Essentials at USD 12, Performance at USD 22 and Performance Plus at USD 28.
VPS plans run from USD 15 to USD 60 per month, and bare metal from USD 99 plus a USD 39 setup fee. The locations page lists six sites: Ashburn, Los Angeles, Dallas and Miami in the United States, Falkenstein in Germany and Singapore, each with its datacentre operator named. The home page names Minecraft, Hytale, Terraria and Rust as game types.
Bloom Host key features
- Three game plan tiers. Essentials gives 4 GB RAM, 2 shared logical cores and 60 GB NVMe. Performance gives 8 GB, 2 dedicated cores, 120 GB and 3 server splits. Performance Plus gives 8 GB, 2 dedicated cores, 150 GB and 3 server splits.
- VPS range. VPS plans run from USD 15 per month (4 GB, 1 dedicated core, 60 GB NVMe, 2 TB bandwidth) to USD 60 (16 GB, 4 dedicated cores, 240 GB NVMe, 8 TB bandwidth).
- Bare metal servers. Ryzen 5 5600X at USD 99 per month plus a USD 39 setup fee, Ryzen 7 5800X at USD 149 plus USD 49, and Ryzen 9 7950X at USD 299 plus USD 129.
- Cloudflare Magic Transit. The home page cites 400 plus Tbps of mitigation capacity with L7 filtering in most locations, powered by Cloudflare Magic Transit.
- Bespoke panels. Separate game, dedicated and VPS panels are described, with DuckPanel and a demo panel also named. The home page lists no backup or API features.
- Named datacentre operators. The locations page names the operator for each site, for example Hetzner FSN1 in Falkenstein, which makes the underlying facility checkable.
- Storage ranges by plan. The Minecraft page gives 60 to 100 GB NVMe for Essentials, 120 to 480 GB for Performance and 150 to 600 GB for Performance Plus, which differs from the home page figures.
Who Bloom Host suits
- A Minecraft community wanting dedicated cores. Performance and Performance Plus offer 2 dedicated cores and 3 server splits at USD 22 and USD 28 per month, which suits a server running several instances.
- A team that needs to see the facility. Named datacentre operators per location help a buyer with procurement or latency requirements verify where the server physically runs.
- A growing project moving to VPS or bare metal. VPS from USD 15 and bare metal from USD 99 sit under the same company, so a project can outgrow a game plan without switching provider.
Getting started with Bloom Host
The pages we read describe plans, locations and panels rather than a setup procedure. A buyer chooses a game plan, VPS or bare metal, then a location from the six listed, and pays monthly. A coupon code, PERFPLUSME, gives 20 per cent off the first invoice of any Performance Plus service. The pages read show no trial period.
Game servers are managed in a bespoke game panel, and VPS and dedicated services have their own panels, with a demo panel available. Since the home page and Minecraft page give different storage figures for the same plans, confirm the exact storage and split count with the vendor before ordering.
