its good and all but i definitely wish the servers were a little faster when playing modpacks like allthemons

I can’t start my server

Decent company. Good service,

I figured it was time for a detailed review after migrating away from Bloom. Overall, it's a good hosting company. There's a reason why they are trusted in communities such as Admincraft (133K members) and they are at the top of the game. I purchased a managed server from them in September, 2023. Unfortunately, there were initial hiccups that delayed the launch of my server. Their node was either having networking issues or oversold, and I requested to be transferred to another node on September 24th, 2023. Luckily, my request was handled within a day or two and I was up and running. We ran our network without issues for about 9 months or so. The price was pretty high; $36 a month for 16GB of RAM on a Ryzen 5950X. Pretty good CPU, but certainly not the cheapest in the game. As our needs to expand arose, the next available plan was almost double the price, and at that point renting a dedicated machine is the smartest option, so we began planning to migrate away. Then, during the month of May, 2024, significant downtime, random maintenance, and packet loss occurred. There were nights when the server was completely unplayable with users getting ping spikes up to 16,000, and time outs were common. This happened for around a week before we cancelled our plan with Bloom. I would also like to point out that during one of these maintenance events, the only notice I received was a message in their "Duck panel" that I could only see if I actively was logged in to the panel. There was no ping in Discord, email, or anything of the like. I hope they provide more notice to customers in the future when maintenance occurs, as it is rather disruptive. I understand networking issues are common in the industry and cannot always be mitigated, but I felt this could definitely be better. Other users I have talked to in this space are still experiencing these issues with Bloom to this day. On the bright side, these issues seem to be mostly few and far between. 80% of our experience with Bloom has been great, hence the 4 star review. I would also like to thank their social media manager for making a video and short about our server a few months back. That guy rocks and you should pay him to make more videos.

I love this server every each part ! I love to play this server and I like shopping to

I used to use Apex Hosting, they were excellent, and I loved using them. However, their downfall is their prices, support is absolutely phenomenal. I wish BloomHost ticket responses could be as fast as Apex Hosting, but I guess that's probably asking for too much. Overall, their servers are excellent and it's easy to navigate around the panel. Powerful servers at a cheap price are the best selling point of BloomHost. Fantastic service I enjoy using! It would be a five-star rating if ticket responses were faster. Overall, I plan to keep using BloomHost until I can't anymore and will recommend BloomHost to other people!

I find your server/service to be really great for the money - comparative offers have 4GB while I have 6GB with Bloom MC. The installation of Enigmatica 6 was straight forward, easy and no hassle. One thing that does get a bit tedious with Bloom's frontend is that you launch the server via the forge.jar, unlike a local host who would launch the server via the start batch file. That results in having to manually update the forge libraries for an update, whereas the batch file would do it automatically. However, I'm not sure if there's a way of doing it that way, I might've just missed it.
