Sparked Host (sparkedhost.com)

Sparked Host is a hosting provider that focuses on game server hosting with servers in North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania for lower latency. They support Minecraft along with a broad library of other multiplayer titles, including Rust and ARK: Survival Evolved. Minecraft hosting supports Java Edition as well as Bedrock and modded setups, with compatibility for mod and plugin frameworks such as Forge, Fabric, Spigot, and Sponge. These services run on Apollo Panel, a control panel developed for server management. The panel provides one-click installers for modpacks and plugins, a file manager, server console access, and configurable backups, while game servers are covered by DDoS protection.

For cloud services, Sparked Host offers virtual private servers, dedicated servers, web hosting, and Discord bot hosting. The VPS service uses KVM virtualization, supports both Linux and Windows operating systems with one-click OS installation, and is managed through the Virtfusion panel with full root access. It is provided on a self-managed basis, with support focused on hardware rather than customer software configuration. Dedicated servers follow the same self-managed model and include remote KVM access for out-of-band management, with support for common Linux distributions as well as Windows Server. Web hosting is delivered through cPanel and includes databases, email accounts, SSL certificates, and support for runtimes such as Node.js and Python, while Discord bot hosting supports bots written for Node.js, Java, and Python.

Hardware is a combination of self-owned and gear rented from partners. DDoS protection is provided in partnership with specialist mitigation companies rather than built entirely in-house. Sparked Host provides around the clock customer support along with supporting several payment methods, including PayPal, Paysafecard, cryptocurrency through NowPayments, and mobile payment services.
