As a hosting review expert and website owner who has reviewed hundreds of providers, it’s not every day you see a host who specializes particularly in offshore hosting and DDoS protection. That’s exactly what Blueangelhost offers and if you need the benefits of going offshore, you’ll find everything you need to know about the host here.

So whether you are looking for more privacy, want to avoid local regulations, or want to go anonymous, in the rest of this piece, I’ll share my thoughts on the host’s plans, pricing, support, performance, and other important metrics so you can decide if they’re right for you.

Blueangelhost Review

Blueangelhost is a web hosting provider that specializes in providing DDoS protection and offshore hosting services to businesses of all sizes. They offer dedicated servers, SSD and HDD VPS hosting, and offshore managed VPS plans to people who want to enjoy more privacy.

The company was founded in 2012, however much of the company’s profile is shrouded in mystery (makes sense for an offshore host I guess) and they don’t even have a company page.

Since they are not a U.S company, Blueangelhost doesn’t have a BBB rating. However, out of 19 reviews on Trustpilot, they are rated 2.6/5.

Rating Breakdown

There are thousands of hosting providers on the market… each with a suite of different offerings and plans… and features they’d try to sell you as the best you can get. So how do you reliably compare the different hosting providers and decide the best features for your needs?

Our experts at HostAdvice developed a detailed rating methodology that outlines different factors to consider and specific scores to give each host, based on how they perform under the said criteria.

Blueangelhost Prices & Plans

Blueangelhost has an incredibly straight-to-the-point UI that showcases its pricing plans and packages. They specialize in offering offshore services that give users extra benefits like privacy and also offer different tiers per package.

They offer dedicated servers located in Bulgaria, specialized dedicated servers for IPTV and video streaming businesses, SSD VPS hosting, HDD VPS hosting, and managed VPS hosting plans.

While a little low, Blueangelhost offers a 7-day money back guarantee within which you can request for a full refund if you are not satisfied (T&Cs apply). When you are ready to commit to Blueangelhost, you can pay via crypto in BTC, ETH, Litecoin, Tether and many others including PerfectMoney.

Offshore Dedicated Servers

Pre-configured dedicated servers

I recommend Blueangelhost’s third ST-15851N plan as it gives you 1 TB storage as well as unmetered bandwidth and unlimited websites to host.

Blueangelhost’s pre-configured offshore servers are tuned beforehand allowing you to buy these packages and have all you need out of the box.

Customizable dedicated servers

On all Blueangelhost’s customizable servers, you can access servers that are fully tweakable allowing you to decide the resources you get and use. Want more control and don’t want to go for rigid plans that may have you paying for resources you won’t use? Then these plans are best for you.

Offshore SSD VPS Hosting

Blueangelhost’s SSD-v3 VPS plan is especially great and offers you 60 GB of SSD storage, 4 TB of bandwidth and the ability to host unlimited websites. Want to enjoy the high performance of NVMe SSD storage? These plans are just for you.

HDD Offshore VPS Hosting

With Blueangelhost’s KVM-v4 VPS plan, you can enjoy up to 100 GB HDD storage, 4TB bandwidth and also host unlimited websites for $36.99/month. Don’t mind using good-ol HDD storage? These plans are just for you.

Managed VPS Hosting

With Blueangelhost’s Managed-v2 VPS plan, you can have 80 GB storage, 4 TB bandwidth and host unlimited websites. You also get to control your hosting backend using a modern version of cPanel.

Features

• Free DDoS protection
• Full root SSH access
• SSD/HDD hybrid storage
• Virtualizor VPS Control Panel
• Choice of OS
• Accepts crypto payments

Among all of Blueangelhost’s great features, what makes it stand out especially is that the host supports payments via crypto to go hand-in-hand with its privacy offering. Most other hosts (and companies in general) are still skeptical about crypto and only offer conventional card and Paypal payments.

The level of privacy you get with Blueangelhost can be rivaled by only a very few other hosts. You can even create an account with the platform completely anonymous!

Performance

The next factor you should consider when evaluating a hosting provider is its performance over these three metrics – response time, uptime, overall performance. Here’s why:

The response time (Time to first byte) is how quickly the host’s servers respond to any search made to the website. The lower the response time is, the better.

The uptime is how consistently the host’s servers are online… the higher the uptime, the less downtime the servers and your website will experience.

I tested a domain hosted on Blueangelhost using GTMetrix and these were the results:

The website had a rather poor TTFB of 600 ms and an overall performance of 79%:

Kindly take note that the uptime is not the same thing as the overall performance. Like most other hosting providers, Blueangelhost promises a 99.9% uptime (the industry’s standard today).

Level Of Support

Blueangelhost offers support through the following portals:

Live chat

Most other hosts offer 24/7 support through their portals but that isn’t the case for Blueangelhost. I tried accessing the live chat portal in the evening and was told that agents weren’t available:

Instead, I was asked to fill a mini support ticket and describe my inquiry which was then sent as an email to them.

Knowledgebase

Just like any host should, Blueangelhost offers an extensive knowledgebase with a built-in search engine to help you find answers to whatever queries you may have. They also grouped the topics with a sidebar filter:

To be honest, the design of their knowledgebase is not the best I have seen but it is still a good to have and will help figure out stuff if you are a DIY learner like me.

Support ticket

To get personal help, you can open a support ticket on Blueangelhost:

You’ll be asked to fill in your name, email address, the subject of your inquiry, the department you want to contact, how urgent your issue is, and then a detailed description of what you want to find out.

Blog

Blueangelhost also has a well stacked blog on topics concerning hosting and success in online business:

To get the information you are looking for, you can use the search engine to sift through the blog archives.

Personally, I was looking for more support features like video guides, socials, a community, and 24/7 support. However, Blueangelhost is still a small company so we can cut them some slack.

User-Friendliness – Ease of use

Registration

Registering and creating an account on Blueangelhost is super easy. On the homepage, click on ‘Client Area’. You’ll be redirected to the login page. Next, click on the ‘Account’ drop down, and click ‘Register’.

You’ll be then be directed to the registration where you’d asked to fill in your details:

Click ‘Register’ and your account is ready.

Blueangelhost Control Panel

Blueangelhost offers a modern cPanel for free allowing you to manage your hosting backend conveniently:

For hosting newbies, however, the UI of cPanel may look a bit intimidating. A few hosts today are already offering cPanel alternatives and custom control panels especially designed for beginners.

Installing WordPress on Blueangelhost

The most convenient way to install WordPress on Blueangelhost is via cPanel using Softaculous. Unfortunately, unlike most other hosts that offer WordPress acceleration features, Blueangelhost doesn’t.

Blueangelhost offers automatic Softaculous installation on most of its plans.

Login to cPanel and go to ‘Software’. Click on the ‘Softaculous’ icon and then navigate to ‘WordPress’. Click on the logo and then click ‘Install’. You’d be asked to fill in your details. Do that and voila! You have WordPress installed.

Add an email account on Blueangelhost

To add an email account on Blueangelhost, the easiest way is to also use cPanel.

Log into your cPanel account and click on ‘Email’. Next, click on ‘Email Accounts’.
Next fill in the email address you want to use, and then choose the domain name you want to tie it to.

Fill in the password you want to use or use the password generator to suggest a strong password for you.

Next, you can customize the data quota tied to the email, or better still, just leave it on the default settings and then click ‘Create Account’.

Your email account is now active and can be accessed via the ‘Account & Domain’ section.

Conclusion: Do We Recommend Blueangelhost?

Blueangelhost gives users levels of privacy and anonymity that most other hosts don’t. Their offshore servers give a home to websites who need to operate outside the jurisdiction of their locales.

Their features are quite decent and well priced. You get access to different VPS hosting tiers, plus dedicated servers if you need more power.

So do we recommend Blueangelhost? Yes, we do. If you need privacy or run a business that deals with content that may not be legal in your region, then the host is just for you.

However, if you are just looking for a regular hosting provider that offers most hosting kinds to host your website, then it’s better you go for an alternative.
