Short answer: you can’t buy anything from TheBeastHosting. Type thebeasthosting.com into a browser today and you land on sparkedhost.com. The Barcelona company that ran the brand was wound up years ago. The site hasn’t served its own storefront since August 2019.
This review is a closure record, not a shopping guide. We pulled the live redirect and DNS records ourselves, dated the shutdown against the Internet Archive, and read the Spanish commercial registry entry. We also checked what the successor charges the people who land on it. Affiliate directories still publish “TheBeastHosting 2026” pages with a buy button and a 4.6 rating. Unlike them, we checked whether that button leads anywhere. It doesn’t.
Overall assessment: TheBeastHosting’s own review file amounts to six ratings on one hosting aggregator, and the newest of those is from June 2018. That aggregator now marks the company closed. The 4.6 score attached to it on review directories isn’t TheBeastHosting’s at all. It belongs to Sparked Host, which took over the brand’s domain and its review profile. Best suited for: nobody. If you arrived from an old bookmark, skip to the Alternatives section.
Historical context: TheBeastHosting’s last working storefront was captured by the Internet Archive on 22 August 2019, and Taltum Solutions S.L., the Barcelona company that operated it, was recorded as extinguished in the Spanish commercial registry on 13 December 2021. Any review quoting TheBeastHosting plans or prices describes a catalogue that stopped taking orders over seven years ago.

Features and Services
TheBeastHosting was a Spanish game-hosting company aimed at Minecraft server owners. By its own account it traded from 2014, and it ran until the summer of 2019. Here’s what it sold, and what took its place.
Hosting Types Offered
- Minecraft Hosting – Java Edition and Pocket Edition, sold in Budget and Premium tiers
- Game Servers – Rust, ARK, Garry’s Mod, Unturned, Squad, FiveM and CS:GO
- VPS Hosting – a VPS is a virtual private server, a slice of a physical machine that behaves like your own box. TheBeastHosting sold SSD, GAME, KVM, Windows and OpenVZ variants
- Voice Servers – TeamSpeak 3 and Mumble
- Web Hosting, Domains and Dedicated Servers
The Hardware Nobody Could Verify
The company never published its CPU models. A July 2019 Reddit thread makes the point. A customer with an 8GB VPS asked why his Minecraft server sat at 11 to 17 TPS with 13 players. TPS means ticks per second, Minecraft’s measure of server health, and 20 is normal. A reply put it bluntly. “I couldn’t find what Xeon they’re using so they’re probably hiding it for a reason, not to mention that half their website is broken.”
The only hardware figures on record come from a June 2018 review on a Minecraft marketplace forum. That reviewer got both test servers free from the host. He found an Intel Xeon E5-2670 behind the VPS SSD line. The VPS GAME line ran an Intel Core i7-7700K. Both sat on 200 Mbps ports in the Psychz data center in Dallas. The E5-2670 launched in 2012, so it was already six years old when he tested it.
Data Center Locations
TheBeastHosting served Dallas and Amsterdam, and at times advertised London, Barcelona and Brazil. Location sets your latency, the round-trip delay between players and server. A European player on a Dallas node feels that gap on every block they place.
Where Your Traffic Goes Now
Sparked Host, a Utah company founded in 2017, now answers for thebeasthosting.com. Both domains sit on the same pair of Cloudflare name servers. Sparked Host’s Trustpilot profile is the one that once carried TheBeastHosting’s reviews. That’s why the old brand’s URL on that site now resolves to the new one.
Sparked Host sells Minecraft hosting, servers for roughly twenty other games, KVM virtual servers, dedicated machines, web hosting and Discord bot hosting. KVM is a virtualization type giving each server its own kernel, so you get real root access rather than a shared container. Its Minecraft page advertises ten locations; its status page monitors eight.
Performance Expectations
No independent speed or uptime benchmark for TheBeastHosting exists, and none will appear now. The successor at least publishes a live status page. On 2 September 2026 it showed 100% uptime over 30 days at seven locations, Dallas and Paris among them. Miami sat at 99.67%, which works out to roughly two and a half hours of downtime in a month.
TheBeastHosting Plans and Pricing
⚠ Price Warning: every TheBeastHosting price on the web today is from 2019 or earlier, and not one of those plans is buyable. Directories still list a “2GB-SSD” plan at USD 4.36/mo with an active buy button. That plan hasn’t existed since August 2019. Treat any TheBeastHosting price list as a historical document.
Customer Experience
TheBeastHosting’s review record is unusually small for a host that traded for five years. Six ratings exist on one hosting aggregator, three of them publicly visible. All three date from June 2018 and two came from Spain, which fits a company headquartered near Barcelona. That aggregator now stamps the listing “CLOSED”.
What Customers Praised
Support speed dominates the surviving feedback. One 5-star reviewer said you could reach staff on Discord and get a fast answer, and that tickets moved quickly too. Another called the support friendly. Both were VPS customers on the 16GB SSD plan.
Price was the other draw. USD 3.99 for a 1GB VPS was cheap in 2019. The company aimed squarely at hobbyists who wanted a Minecraft server without a hosting bill to match.
Common Complaints
Throughput came up repeatedly. The one non-perfect review in the visible set scored 3.8 out of 5 and called FTP transfers “very very slow”. FTP is how most Minecraft admins upload worlds and plugins, so that hurts on every change you make.
Performance under load was the other theme. The Reddit thread above documents a customer paying for four Xeon cores and 8GB of RAM. His server ran at roughly half the normal tick rate with thirteen players. That was July 2019, about a month before the storefront disappeared.
Community Feedback (Reddit and Forums)
Community discussion was thin and mostly skeptical. On a Minecraft software forum in February 2018, someone asked whether the host was a good option. The first reply: “‘Ram unmeasured’ seems sketchy to me. The prices are not that great, either.” The thread died after four posts.
The sharpest exchange came on a Minecraft marketplace forum in June 2018. A member accused the company of copying a French rival’s prices, specs, product naming and marketing copy, posting both URLs as evidence. The reply was flat: “At no time have we copied from anyone.” In the same thread the company admitted it had no stock of one advertised VPS type.
One detailed performance review of the host still circulates. Worth knowing before you weigh it: the reviewer opened by saying the company gave him both test servers free. It reads well. It was also comped.
Reddit has not mentioned TheBeastHosting since 20 July 2019. Sparked Host, by contrast, is discussed regularly, and not always warmly. A poster on 25 August 2026 wrote that “sparkedhost is allegedly very poor with their customer support/help”. A June 2026 thread describes buying a 6GB plan and being unable to reach the control panel at all.
Support Quality
TheBeastHosting ran ticket and Discord support, and the surviving reviews rate both highly. That’s the strongest thing in its file.
The successor’s approach is different, and you should price it in. Sparked Host sells Discord support access as a USD 3.00/mo add-on and a further Extended Support tier at USD 5.00/mo, described on the order form as recommended for beginners. Free support exists, but the ordering flow nudges you to pay for the faster route.
When to Use TheBeastHosting
Nobody should buy from TheBeastHosting, because there’s nothing to buy. This section answers the two questions people still arrive with.
You’re a Former Customer
Check what you left behind. Any server files, worlds or backups from 2019 are long gone. A domain registered through the company is the one thing worth chasing. Check its WHOIS record and name servers now, then move it to a registrar you control.
You Followed an Old Link or Advert
You’ll be redirected, not refused. The domain forwards silently to sparkedhost.com, with no notice and no mention of TheBeastHosting on the destination site. That’s disorienting, but it isn’t a scam. You’ve landed on a different, live company.
When NOT to Use TheBeastHosting
Everyone shopping for hosting in 2026 should look elsewhere, because the brand can’t take an order. If the redirect tempts you to buy from the successor instead, weigh these first.
Look Elsewhere If
You want a money-back guarantee: Sparked Host’s terms, last reviewed on 1 January 2026, make refunds discretionary. They’re granted only when a documented fault can’t be fixed within 24 hours of purchase, and the company can deny any request. A guaranteed 48-hour window exists, but only on first purchases of Discord bot hosting and non-Minecraft game hosting.
You need a written uptime commitment: those terms carry no SLA percentage. An SLA is a Service Level Agreement, a contractual uptime promise with a remedy attached. A healthy dashboard isn’t a contract.
You’re running a business site: this is a game-hosting operation with a web-hosting sideline. Company websites belong on a general-purpose host.
Red Flags for Your Situation
- You pay in cryptocurrency: those payments are non-refundable outright, and any approved refund comes back as store credit
- You want backups included: on the Budget Minecraft line they’re off by default, and the cheapest backup option costs as much as the entry plan
- You want support included: the Discord and Extended tiers are paid add-ons
- You’re buying a dedicated server: dedicated and colocation orders are non-refundable once payment clears
TheBeastHosting Transparency Score
We assess how upfront the company was, and how upfront the trail it left behind is:
- Company Information: Poor. The footer named “Taltum Solutions LLC” at a Dallas, Texas address. The real entity was Taltum Solutions S.L., a Spanish limited company in Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Barcelona, incorporated in October 2017 with EUR 3,000 of capital. Two jurisdictions, one company.
- Pricing Transparency: Good, for its time. Prices sat on public cart pages in three currencies, no login required, with no promotional first term hiding a renewal jump.
- Technical Documentation: Limited. The company advertised “Unmeasured RAM” and never published CPU models. Both drew direct criticism from forum members, and neither was ever clarified.
- Terms and Policies: Poor. Nothing survives documenting the refund window or fair-use limits, and no closure notice was ever posted. Customers found out by typing the address.
- Handover Disclosure: Poor. Sparked Host’s home page, about page and Minecraft page contain no mention of TheBeastHosting. Its company timeline lists client milestones for 2019, 2022 and 2024 but no acquisitions.
Overall Transparency: poor, and it got worse after the lights went out. An old link forwards you to a company that never acknowledges the connection. Meanwhile that company’s score keeps being pinned on the brand that vanished.
Alternatives to TheBeastHosting
Came here looking for a cheap Minecraft or game server? These categories are worth your time instead.
For Minecraft Specifically: Apex Hosting or BisectHosting
Both are long-running Minecraft specialists with modpack installers, public status pages and refund policies you can read before you buy. See our Minecraft server hosting comparison for how they stack up on price and features.
For Other Games: ZAP-Hosting or Nodecraft
TheBeastHosting sold Rust, ARK and Garry’s Mod servers alongside Minecraft. If that’s your mix, a multi-game host beats a Minecraft shop. Our game server hosting guide covers the providers handling a broad catalogue well.
For a Plain VPS: Kamatera and the Wider Market
Much of TheBeastHosting’s business was cheap virtual servers, not managed game panels. If you can administer a box yourself, a general VPS provider gives you more machine for the money.

What TheBeastHosting Charged (Archived 22 August 2019)
The final prices from the company’s own shopping cart, in US dollars per month:
- VPS SSD: 1GB / 10GB disk at USD 3.99, 2GB / 20GB at USD 5.99, 4GB / 30GB at USD 9.99, 8GB / 40GB at USD 16.99, 16GB / 50GB at USD 28.99, 32GB / 100GB at USD 44.99
- VPS GAME: 2GB / 10GB disk at USD 7.99, 4GB / 20GB at USD 11.99, 6GB / 30GB at USD 19.99, 8GB / 40GB at USD 25.99, 12GB / 50GB at USD 34.99, 16GB / 60GB at USD 39.99
- Minecraft Premium: USD 4.00 for 1GB of dedicated RAM, rising to USD 100.00 for 25GB
- Minecraft Budget: USD 4.00 for 1GB of shared RAM, rising to USD 50.00 for 25GB
Every server sat in Dallas. The site’s banner read “Your web hosting from $3.99”.
What the Successor Charges Today
Read from Sparked Host’s own order forms on 2 September 2026, in US dollars per month.
Budget Minecraft: USD 1.00 for 1GB RAM, 1 vCPU and 10GB of disk, up to USD 22.00 for 22GB. Enterprise Minecraft: USD 1.30 for 512MB, USD 2.59 for 1GB, USD 20.72 for the 8GB best-seller, up to USD 67.34 for 26GB. The Enterprise line runs AMD Ryzen 9 processors with DDR5 memory and 100GB of NVMe storage. NVMe is a faster type of SSD storage.
Premium KVM VPS: USD 8.00 for 2GB RAM, 1 vCPU and 45GB, up to USD 85.00 for 32GB. Budget KVM VPS: starts higher, at USD 10.39 for 4GB, because that line has no 2GB or 3GB option at all.
So the like-for-like comparison is this. TheBeastHosting’s 2GB VPS cost USD 5.99 with 20GB of disk in 2019. The nearest plan today costs USD 8.00 with 45GB of NVMe on far newer silicon. That’s 34% more money for more than double the storage.
Hidden Costs to Watch
The successor’s order form carries add-ons worth pricing in before you commit:
- Backups on the Budget Minecraft line default to “No Backups (Not Advised)”. Three backup slots cost USD 1.00/mo, which doubles the price of the USD 1.00 entry plan
- Discord Support: USD 3.00/mo for access to the support ticket channel
- Extended Support: USD 5.00/mo, described as recommended for beginners
- Dedicated IP or port: USD 4.00/mo
- Pterodactyl control panel installation on a VPS: USD 20.00 one-off
- Extra IPv4 addresses: USD 2.75 each per month
Pricing Verdict
TheBeastHosting had no renewal trap. It billed a flat monthly rate with no promotional first term, which is the one thing its pricing had going for it. That doesn’t help you now.
So is the successor cheap? At the sticker price, yes. Read the order form and it gets thinner. A USD 1.00 Minecraft server with backups switched off isn’t really a USD 1.00 Minecraft server.
TheBeastHosting is a dead brand wearing another company’s reputation. Its own review file is six ratings deep and stops in June 2018. The 4.6 quoted for it is a stale snapshot of Sparked Host’s Trustpilot profile, which reads 4.8 across 2,405 reviews today. That’s crediting a shop with its landlord’s reviews.
The Bottom Line
Don’t buy here, because you can’t. The storefront’s last archived capture is 22 August 2019 and the Spanish company behind it was struck off in December 2021. The domain still works, still renews its certificate every month, and still sends you somewhere else without a word of explanation.
If the redirect landed you on the successor and you like what you see, go in with eyes open. There’s no guaranteed refund on Minecraft plans, no uptime figure in the terms, and support tiers cost extra.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is TheBeastHosting still in business?
No. The website stopped serving its own storefront in August 2019, and thebeasthosting.com now forwards to sparkedhost.com. The Barcelona company that ran it, Taltum Solutions S.L., was recorded as extinguished in the Spanish commercial registry on 13 December 2021. One major hosting aggregator lists the company as closed.
What happened to TheBeastHosting?
The brand was absorbed by Sparked Host, a Utah game-hosting company. Two things prove it. The domain forwards there permanently, on the same Cloudflare name servers. And the Trustpilot profile that once carried TheBeastHosting’s reviews now displays as Sparked Host. Neither company ever announced it publicly.
Why do review sites still show TheBeastHosting prices?
Because nobody rechecked. Several directories publish “TheBeastHosting 2026” pages carrying a 4.6 rating, “Amsterdam Dallas” locations and a “2GB-SSD” plan at USD 4.36 a month. Those are the 2019 plan names and the 2019 catalogue. The buy buttons redirect to a different company.
Was TheBeastHosting any good?
Mixed, and the record is thin. Customers liked the fast Discord and ticket support, and the prices were genuinely cheap. Against that, it never disclosed its CPU models and sold “Unmeasured RAM” it wouldn’t define. It also drew a public accusation of copying a rival’s pricing and marketing text. The last customer to post publicly about it was getting about half the normal Minecraft tick rate.
Can I get a refund or recover data from TheBeastHosting?
No. There’s no billing panel, no ticket system and no company to invoice. Any data left on those servers went with the shutdown in 2019. Still holding a domain registered through them? Check its WHOIS record and name servers, then move it to a registrar you control.
Is Sparked Host a good replacement?
It’s a real, active host with 2,405 Trustpilot reviews and a 4.8 score, so it’s a fair starting point. Read the terms first though. Refunds on Minecraft plans are discretionary, not guaranteed. The terms carry no uptime percentage, and backups on the cheapest line are off unless you pay. Compare it against the hosts in our Minecraft hosting guide before committing.
