# What if I lose my Gloamport account number? > A Gloamport account number can be sent to the email on the account. With no email on file, it cannot be recovered: save it in 2 places. - URL: https://gloamport.com/help/lost-account-number/ - Last updated: 2026-11-13 - Publisher: Gloamport (https://gloamport.com) **Quick answer — How do I recover a lost Gloamport account number?** **Gloamport** can send a lost account number only to an email address added to the account: on the log-in page, select "Forgot your account number?" and enter that address. With no email on file, the number cannot be recovered, because Gloamport never asks who you are. Save the 16-digit number in 2 places at checkout. **In brief** - **The account number is the login**: 16 digits, created at checkout, with no sign-up form. - **With an email on file**: the recovery page sends the number to that address. - **With no email**: nobody at Gloamport can give access back; the servers and the balance stay out of reach. - **Prevention**: download the number as a file at checkout, keep a second copy, or add an email or a password later. - **Last resort**: create a new account and order again. ## Can your account be recovered? *What Gloamport can do for a lost account number, by what the account holds* | Your account has | Recovery | How | | --- | --- | --- | | An email address | Yes | Forgot your account number? → enter the email → the number is sent to it | | A password you added, and you still have the number elsewhere | Yes | Log in with the number and the password | | No email, number lost | No | Create a new account | ## Why can't Gloamport recover an account without an email? **Gloamport holds nothing that proves an account is yours: no name, no ID document, no phone and, by your choice, no email.** The client area says it plainly: without an email, there is no other way to know that an account belongs to you. Write the account number down somewhere safe: it is the one key to the account. With an email on file, a forgotten number can be sent to that address; without one, nobody at Gloamport can bring it back. That is the trade-off of an account with no personal data. According to Gloamport's survey of 10 November 2026, only 6 of 42 active crypto VPS hosts let you sign up without a required email (Njalla, Servury, NiceVPS, VPSDEN, TLDBunker and Kyun). The same rule applies at each of them: without a contact, a lost login stays lost. The no-email option is weighed in [Can I get a VPS without an email address?](https://gloamport.com/vps-without-email/ "Can I get a VPS without an email address?"). ## How do you recover the number with an email? 1. **Open the log-in page** — In the client area, select Log in, then Forgot your account number? 2. **Enter the email** — Type the email address you added to the account and select Send my account number. 3. **Check your inbox** — If an account uses that address, its number is sent there. It can take a few minutes; check the spam folder too. 4. **Log in and secure it** — Log in with the number, then save it in a second place so the email is not your only copy. ## How do you avoid losing the number? **Save the number the moment the checkout shows it, in two separate places.** The checkout shows the account number, offers **Download as a file**, and asks you to tick "I've saved my account number" once your payment is sent. - Keep the file, or the number, in a password manager. - Keep a second copy offline, on paper or an encrypted drive. - If you accept the trade-off, add an email used only for this account: it is used for receipts and to send the number back if you lose it. An email you add is held under Gloamport's [privacy policy](https://gloamport.com/privacy/ "What does Gloamport's privacy policy say?"). What a no-KYC account protects, and what it does not, is set out in [Where can I buy a VPS with no KYC?](https://gloamport.com/vps-no-kyc/ "Where can I buy a VPS with no KYC?"). ## What happens to the servers of a lost account? **They keep running until their paid days end, then stop like any VPS that is not renewed.** If auto-renew is on and the balance covers the next term, the VPS renews from the balance. When the balance can no longer pay, the VPS stops at the end of its term, its disk is kept for 7 days, then wiped. Each VPS is paid from a prepaid crypto balance for the term you choose at checkout: 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. With auto-renew on, the same term is charged again at the price of your order unless you pick another one for the next renewal in the dashboard. If the balance cannot cover a renewal, the VPS stops when its term ends, its disk is kept for 7 days and then wiped. The rules for credit and refunds are on [Can I get a refund from Gloamport, and how?](https://gloamport.com/help/refunds/ "Can I get a refund from Gloamport, and how?"). ## Lost account number: common questions ### Can Gloamport find my account from a transaction ID? The recovery page works by email only. The client area states that, without an email, Gloamport has no other way to know an account is yours; a transaction ID proves a payment, not who holds the account. ### Can I add an email after ordering? Yes. Gloamport lets you add an email to the account later, from the account settings; it is then used for receipts and recovery. ### How long is a Gloamport account number? 16 digits, created at random at checkout. It is the only thing needed to log in. ### Is the recovery email sent instantly? The client area says it can take a few minutes, and to check the spam folder. ### Does Gloamport ask security questions? No. Gloamport asks for no personal details, so there is nothing to check a security answer against. **Verdict** - **Add an email only if you need a way back in**: Gloamport can send the 16-digit number to it, and to nothing else. - **Without an email, save the number in 2 places at checkout**: a lost number on an account with no email is lost for good. **Open an account with nothing but a number** No name, no ID, email optional: Dusk at $5.25 a month on 12 months.
