I ordered my server, Performance+ 12gb Dedicated, and had slight trouble getting it started just because I was unfamiliar with the setup process. This proved a non-issue immediately when I received support instantly after asking through their Discord and creating a ticket. After support was received the server has been fantastic, and I was able to learn the basics on getting the server setup myself from the support staff. Overall the best hosting site and support team would recommend to anyone looking for an affordable, quality server!

Best Minecraft Hosting
You know what really pisses me off? If you google search best minecraft hosts you still see the top 5 results, recently posted mind you, showing a list of other hosts that are complete garbage. I tried really hard to look into each one of them and compare them to bloom and imagine having my network on them and I could not. They either simply didn't offer the cpu and ram and storage I needed or wanted 200+ dollars a month. It pisses me off that people that make these stupid lists are unaware of actual good hosts such as bloom. I asked last year and I will ask again, find a better host. You can't. I spent a lot of time looking and I could not. There isn't, this is it right now. Bloom is #1 I don't care what anybody says, try me.
If you don't use bloom host for your server you should rethink some things. Unless of course you have your own system with a r9-5950x cpu that you've dedicated and spend less than $70 a month for it. I don't even know how Bloom makes profit, what they offer is so much that the competition just can't do it.

The best host in terms of performance, period.

Bloom's servers have handled even the worst of modpacks I've been able to throw at my server.
It definitely shows the power of the 3900 that they're using in the servers.
I haven't been able to try their "Plus" servers since they're a bit too expensive for me, and I really haven't found something to justify needing a 5950X for a Minecraft server.
Ryzen 9 3900s are already fast enough for a Minecraft server, so unless one is running an oddly specific CPU-Heavy modpack or a paper server with tons of plugins and players, I see no reason to get the "Performance Plus" plan, but at least it's good that the option exists, just in case someone needs that extra CPU power.
I haven't had that many issues with the server, but the issues I've had were solved relatively quickly by Bloom's excellent support, they even solved a billing issue I had (My fault to be honest) relatively quickly.
It's been great to use Bloom for the Minecraft servers I've had with some friends.
I do have one issue. As of writing this review (28/10/2021) their price for an 8GB server is 16$ a month, but this is going to change to 18$ a month starting November 1st (for new customers).
This gets on the more expensive side of Minecraft hosting, this makes bloom not be the "amazing deal" than they used to be before, but they're improving their service and they're transitioning to owned hardware (EU) next year.
18$/month puts bloom still ahead of most competitors in terms of price and performance but the huge advantage they had is kind of lost.
Looking at their new prices for their other plans puts their ">12GB Performance Plus" plans dangerously close to "Buy a dedicated server" territory, but I completely understand that there are people who do not want to manage their own dedicated machine, so in that case, Bloom might not be such a bad deal.
In my opening anything above the 8GB performance plan and we start getting into diminishing returns.
In conclusion, Bloom is absolutely the best performant Minecraft host I've ever tried as of writing this review (28/10/2021), they have close to dedicated performance and their panel is easy to use and has a lot of features that most hosts do not have, such as their "server split" feature. If someone is looking to host a relatively big Minecraft server with tons of plugins/mods, bloom is the best option that I comfortably recommend.
I gave bloom a chance instantly after hearing about it. The one thing I can say confidently is that their support is 5/5 stars. It's quick, thorough, and the team are nice people. The panels/site's colors are amazing, everything is laid out nicely, easy to navigate, and again, looks absolutely beautiful.

I switched over to Bloom...
I have switched over to using Bloom to host my Minecraft server almost a year ago now and I do not regret my decision. It's by far the most cost-effective option on the market! They're always developing their UI and upholding their excellent customer service! I can't say anything for you, but I am more than willing to spend more if it means Bloom sticks around longer!

The best around!
Fantastic quality servers and great customer/technical support!
We found Bloom to be miles a head of the competition! No other Minecraft server provider comes near Bloom. Their servers are exceptional and handled our high player counts (40-80 players) with ease.
Their dedication to providing customers with the best servers possible is beyond what we had ever expected from them. They are one of the few server providers who put the customers experience first and I highly respected that.
10/10, I recommend to anyone in search of a server to go with Bloom! Such great hardware and service at an affordable price.
