📄 Editorial Review

RoyalHost Networks is a niche hosting provider built around one clear idea: privacy-friendly hosting paid with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. They have been operating since 2009, so they combine that crypto niche with more than a decade of conventional hosting experience. The lineup covers the usual needs of small and mid-sized projects – shared web hosting, VPS, dedicated servers, domain registration, and optional cPanel/DirectAdmin management – but almost everything is wrapped around anonymous payments, no KYC, and 24/7 support. Pricing and service descriptions are in English, and billing is in US dollars, with automatic conversion from crypto at payment time.

The shared NVMe web hosting is the natural starting point. There are three main plans – Silver, Gold, and Platinum – with 5 GB, 10 GB, and 25 GB of NVMe SSD storage respectively, all with unlimited bandwidth, unlimited databases, and unlimited email accounts. Even the entry Silver plan allows one website, while Gold goes up to five and Platinum to ten, so small agencies or multi-site users can consolidate several projects under one account. All tiers run on CloudLinux, LiteSpeed, and DirectAdmin or cPanel, include multi-PHP versions (from 5.6 up to 8.x), free SSL for all domains and subdomains, and daily, weekly and monthly remote backups. One-click installers (over 300 scripts) and WordPress-oriented optimization with AccelerateWP make these plans well suited to blogs, business sites, and modest e-commerce stores that want good speed without server administration work.

For heavier workloads, RoyalHost pushes customers to SSD VPS hosting. The VPS line is based on KVM virtualization with pure NVMe SSD storage, dedicated CPU/RAM, and 1 Gbit/s ports. Four standard plans (SSD VPS 1–4) scale from 2 GB RAM / 2 vCPU / 25 GB NVMe up to 12 GB RAM / 6 vCPU / 120 GB NVMe, with traffic allowances from 4 TB up to 16 TB, which is generous for most mid-range projects. VPS instances are activated automatically within minutes, come with full root access, an in-house VPS control panel for power actions and OS reinstalls, and a wide OS catalog on both Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, CentOS, etc.) and Windows Server. These servers are clearly aimed at users who want more control – game servers, application back-ends, VPN nodes, or busy websites – but still appreciate instant delivery and crypto payments.

The dedicated servers are intentionally simple but modern. Two main configurations (i5-13 and i9-13) use Intel Core i5-13500 or i9-13900 CPUs, 64 GB RAM (DDR4 or DDR5 ECC depending on the model), and Gen4 NVMe SSDs in RAID (2 × 512 GB or 2 × 1.92 TB). Ports are 1 Gbit/s with unlimited traffic, and servers include DDoS protection, root access, 100 GB backup storage and support for a wide range of operating systems. Deployment time is quoted at 1–72 hours, which is reasonable for physical hardware. For projects that outgrow VPS – for example busy e-commerce, streaming, or custom SaaS platforms – these machines offer a clean upgrade path, still payable entirely in crypto.

Alongside core hosting, RoyalHost runs a domain registration service. Generic extensions like .com, .net, .org, .info, .xyz, .co are available, with whois management, free DNS management, and lock controls included in the domain panel. Domain pricing starts in the high-teens USD per year for .com and increases for premium TLDs. The interesting angle here is that domains can also be registered anonymously using Bitcoin, Perfect Money or other supported cryptocurrencies, with instant automated registration and no KYC.

On top of that, there are cPanel and DirectAdmin management services for customers who want professional administration for their own servers, plus a strong focus on Perfect Money / Payeer ecosystems (including the ability to top up account balance and then pay multiple invoices from that credit). Overall, the portfolio feels coherent: fast NVMe-based hosting, crypto-first payments, and long-running operational experience rather than a low-quality "offshore" setup.
