BlackHOST (black.host)

BlackHOST is a hosting provider offering a range of infrastructure and web services, from shared hosting and domain registration to dedicated servers, DDoS protection, and encrypted backup storage. They provide 24/7 customer support through tickets, live chat, and phone support for mission-critical clients, and offer unmetered traffic on a range of its product lines.

The shared hosting plans run on SSD storage and use CloudLinux for account isolation, with cPanel as the control panel, Cloudflare integration for CDN and additional protection, and free SSL certificates are included. BlackHOST also offers WordPress-specific hosting plans built on the same infrastructure, with features such as SSH and Git support, WP-CLI, and automatic WordPress updates. A separate professional email hosting service provides encrypted access via standard mail protocols and includes anti-spam filtering and dedicated IP options depending on the plan.

The VPS hosting lineup includes several categories based on different configurations, with KVM virtualization used for core offerings. VPS plans support IPv4 and IPv6 addressing and include backup functionality. Dedicated servers are offered as bare-metal configurations in multiple locations across the United States and Europe. These services are provided on a flexible billing basis without long-term contract requirements, with enterprise configurations offering additional management and infrastructure features.

BlackHOST focuses on physical security and data protection for its backup storage service. The backup infrastructure is located in a highly secure underground facility with reinforced protection measures and redundant power and cooling systems. All backup storage is encrypted end-to-end, with decryption keys held by the client. The service is accessible independently of hosting plans and supports multiple payment options.

The DDoS protection service covers network-level attacks across all tiers, with more advanced protection available on higher-tier plans. Additional services include domain registration and transfer across a range of TLDs, server management, and site migration. Accepted payment methods include PayPal, credit cards, digital wallets, bank transfers, and cryptocurrency.
