GlowHost (GlowHost.com, LLC) is a US host whose virtual-server line is the fully managed Cloud VDS — virtual dedicated servers with dedicated compute power and memory and, per the provider, no bleed-over from other tenants in the cluster. The entry Cloud VDS Lite costs – per month with unmetered transfer on a – Mbit/s port included; billing is a fixed monthly rate, not hourly. Root access is available, Linux and Windows are supported, and cPanel/WHM with CloudLinux comes pre-configured if you want it.
Payment is crypto-friendly: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance Coin, XRP, TRON, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, NEO and OmiseGO alongside card, PayPal, bank transfer and local methods. Checkout includes an automated phone-verification step, so orders are not anonymous. The SLA guarantees 100 % network uptime, and the managed network is DDoS-protected; servers are offered in 16 datacenters across eight countries. Note the refund terms: the 91-day money-back guarantee explicitly excludes Cloud and Dedicated servers, so a Cloud VDS is not refundable.
