Minecraft hosting.

Memory on a Minecraft server is driven by world size, render distance and mod count as much as by player count. 8 GB is the default. You can switch between Paper, Forge and Fabric later without rebuilding, and the world files stay where they are.

Where it runs

Every game server we run lives in Dallas, roughly central to North America, which keeps the delay between a click and what happens in game about even for players on either coast.

What is Minecraft server hosting?

Minecraft is the block-building game where you and your friends survive, build and explore together. A Minecraft server is the always-on machine that world lives on, so anyone can join whenever they like instead of waiting for the host to come online. Renting one means you set the rules, the mods and who gets in.

You get a slice of a fast machine kept for you alone, which is what keeps things smooth once the world gets big or the modpack gets heavy. That means an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X and fast DDR5 memory, enough to load new ground, run big redstone builds and hold a full player list without turning to treacle.

Modpacks, mods and datapacks install from the panel rather than by hand, backups run on a schedule, and you get full file access plus a MySQL database for plugins that need one. Start with a server for a few friends and move up a size when more turn up.

Why choose our Minecraft hosting?

Getting started is a few clicks, not an afternoon of tutorials. The control panel handles starting, stopping, settings and files, so you can spend the evening building instead of configuring.

There are thousands of mods and plugins you can add whenever you like, and the panel carries installers for mods, modpacks and datapacks so most of them go on without an upload. We look after the machine underneath; you look after the world.

Minecraft keeps growing and your server can too. Move up a size when the community outgrows the one you started on. Support is there around the clock if something looks wrong.

Protection from attacks

Rival servers sometimes get flooded with junk traffic to knock them offline. Cloudflare Magic Transit and CosmicGuard filter that out before it reaches you, and hardware filtering catches the sneakier attacks that pretend to be real players.

Real people, day and night

Tickets and Discord are answered around the clock by people who run game servers themselves. No scripts to read from, no waiting for office hours.

Backups you can roll back to

Your Minecraft server saves a copy of itself on a schedule, so a griefed world or a bad update is a restore rather than a disaster. Putting one back takes a couple of clicks in the panel, and you can download the files yourself any time with an SFTP app.

Questions

Minecraft hosting, answered.

World size, render distance and mod count drive memory as much as player numbers do. 2-4 GB runs vanilla or Paper for a handful of friends, 8 GB is the default for a small plugin community, and big modpacks want 12-24 GB.
Vanilla, Paper, Forge and Fabric are all supported and selected from the control panel. You can switch software later without rebuilding the server, though mods and plugins are not interchangeable between them. Your world files stay in place when you change jar.
Yes. The panel has a modpack installer, so a pack goes on without you unpacking it by hand, and you can upload a custom or private pack over FTP. Installing a pack does not resize your plan, so check what it asks for and move up a RAM tier yourself if it needs one.
There is no fixed cap. The real limit is memory and CPU headroom, so a lean 8 GB server can run a large plugin set while a badly written plugin can strain a bigger one. If TPS starts dropping, look at plugin quality and world size before adding RAM.
Yes, automatic backups are included on every Minecraft plan. You can also pull world files down over FTP at any time and keep your own copies. Restoring rolls the world back to the snapshot you pick.
Yes. Your server is reachable on an IP and port, and you can point a subdomain at it with an A record at your registrar. Adding an SRV record lets players connect with just the domain, no port. The DNS change happens at your registrar - we do not register domains for you.
