What you get

Built in, not bolted on.

Root access

Install Java, choose your server software and edit every config file over SSH.

Paper, plugins and mods

Run Paper or Spigot for plugins, or a modded server for modpacks. You decide what goes on the server.

SSD storage

Worlds are read from SSD, which shortens load times on large maps and busy spawn areas.

Resize when you grow

Move to a larger plan when more players join or you add heavier mods.

Snapshots and backups

Snapshot the server before an update and roll back if a plugin breaks your world. Scheduled backups are available as an add-on.

Firewall control

Open only the game port and SSH, or accept connections from a list of known IP addresses.

Use cases

What teams run on it.

  • 01

    Friends and family world

    A private world for a small group, with a whitelist so only invited players can join.

  • 02

    Community server

    Host a public server with plugins for economies, minigames or land claims.

  • 03

    Modded survival

    Run a heavy modpack on a server with the RAM it needs, without keeping your own PC on all night.

  • 04

    Moving an existing server

    Copy your world, plugins and configs from another host and keep playing where you left off.

How it works

Three steps to running.

  1. 01

    Choose a size

    Pick a plan by RAM and choose Istanbul or Nuremberg, whichever is closer to your players.

  2. 02

    Log in over SSH, install Java and download Paper or the server build you prefer.

  3. 03

    Invite players

    Open the game port, share the server address and start playing.

Questions

Minecraft Server Hosting, answered.

How much RAM does my Minecraft server need?

A small group on vanilla or Paper usually runs well on 2 to 4 GB. Large communities and modpacks often need 8 GB or more.

Can I install mods and plugins?

Yes. You have full access to the server, so you can add plugins, mods and custom files. Watch memory use as you add more.

Can I move my existing world here?

Yes. Create a server, copy over your world folder, plugins and configs, and start the same server version you used before.

Do I need technical skills?

Basic Linux commands help. You connect over SSH, install Java and start the server software, and public guides cover each step.

Can I limit who joins?

Yes. Turn on the server whitelist, and restrict the game port to known IP addresses with a firewall if you want extra control.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes. Resize to a plan with more RAM and vCPU when your player count grows.
