To promote its new Storage Node service, GTHost is offering the first month free on the 1 TB plan using the SNB-1-FREE promo code. Customers can also receive a 10 TB external traffic package free for the first month when added to the same node. The service has no setup fees and can be canceled at any time. Has anyone here tested the Storage Node platform yet, and what are your first impressions of the service?
Use Promo Code: SNB-1-FREE - First month of SNB-1 (1 TB) free, plus free SNB-IC-10 (10 TB external traffic) when added to the same node. One per account. Valid through June 30, 2026. Heads up: SNB-IC-10 is added separately from the control panel after checkout. Without it, your Storage Node (https://gthost.com/storage-nodes) stays internal-only. Give GTHost.com a try.
The promotion itself is real: GTHost launched its new Storage Node service with a free first month on the 1 TB plan (promo code SNB-1-FREE) and a free 10 TB external traffic package for the first month if added separately. The launch offer is advertised as having no setup fee and month-to-month billing.
However, I couldn't find credible user benchmarks or long-term reviews of the Storage Node product specifically. Most mentions are:
Promotional announcements on hosting forums.
GTHost's own dоcumentation describing it as storage accessible via FTP/SFTP/Samba, intended for backups and extra storage in the same datacenter as your servers, with free internal traffic.
A Reddit post praising GTHost generally, but it was posted in a vendor-controlled subreddit and isn't an independent review.
If you're considering trying it, I'd verify a few things during the free month:
Sustained read/write throughput with your workload.
IOPS and latency for many small files versus large sequential transfers.
Reliability over several days (timeouts, disconnects, filesystem behavior).
Actual upload/download speeds from your server and, if applicable, over the optional internet access.
Backup durability and any snapshot or redundancy guarantees.
Given the lack of real-world reports, I'd treat it as an opportunity to test rather than rely on it immediately for production or your only backup. If you do test it, sharing transfer speeds, uptime, and any issues would likely be valuable to others since public experience with the service is still limited.
You can rely on GTHost.com Storage Nodes (https://gthost.com/storage-nodes). This host has proven over and over again to provide the most amazing lightening speed support I have ever encountered. From minor questions to moving of servers they have always come through for me. So, as you can see, I am fully satisfied dealing with this host and can highly recommend their cheap as well as reliable hosting services to others. Six Locations Live: Ashburn, Dallas, Los Angeles, Toronto, Frankfurt, and Zurich. More on the way.
I've been testing GTHost so far, and the performance has been stable with good network speeds. A free first month is a nice opportunity to evaluate their storage nodes before committing long-term.
