Built for modpacks, not just vanilla

Modded Minecraft is single-thread hungry, and that is exactly what our premium nodes are tuned for. They run Ryzen 7950X-class CPUs with DDR4/DDR5 memory and NVMe storage, which is what keeps chunk generation and tick times healthy on packs like All the Mods, RLCraft, Create and ATM9. Value nodes run Intel Xeon E5-2690 v2-class hardware with SSD storage and suit vanilla, Paper and lighter plugin servers.

How CPU allocation works

Minecraft plans are allocated up to 150% CPU power. 100% equals one full CPU thread, so 150% gives your server headroom beyond a single thread for world generation spikes and plugin work without throttling the moment several players explore at once.

Low latency across the Midwest

Every node runs on our own network, AS32002, out of two directly connected Michigan facilities: 123Net DC1 in Detroit and 123Net DC4 in Grand Rapids. We reach both GRR-IX and DET-IX from either site and carry Hurricane Electric, Cogent and 123Net upstream. Round-trip times stay low across the Midwest, the Great Lakes and most of the eastern United States.

What you get on every plan

Pterodactyl panel access with SFTP and a live console, DDoS protection, at least one free backup slot, unlimited player slots, and support over email, ticket and phone. Game hosting carries a 7-day refund window.

Minecraft Hosting FAQ

Minecraft Hosting Questions

How many players can my Minecraft server hold?

Player slots are unlimited on every Minecraft plan - we do not cap or sell slots. The practical limit is your RAM and CPU allocation, so pick a plan sized to the modpack you intend to run rather than to a player count.

Can I install modpacks and plugins?

Yes. You get full Pterodactyl panel access with SFTP, a file manager and a live console, so you can install any modpack, server jar or plugin set you like - Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, Paper, Spigot, Purpur and the rest.

Is there a Minecraft server free trial?

Yes. Our Minecraft server hosting free trial gives you 5GB for 3 days on both value and premium nodes, with no card required up front. Trials need manual staff approval and are deleted automatically after 3 days, so move your world onto a paid plan before then if you want to keep it.

What is the cheapest Minecraft hosting you offer?

Value nodes are the cheapest Minecraft hosting we sell, and they are a genuine fit for vanilla, Paper and lighter plugin servers rather than a deliberately crippled entry tier. If you are running a heavy modpack, the premium Ryzen nodes cost more per gigabyte but will save you from the tick lag that makes a cheap plan a false economy.

Can I upgrade my plan later?

Yes. Plans can be upgraded as your server grows, and your world and configuration come with you. Open a ticket and we will move you up a tier.

Other game servers we host

Need more than a game server? We also offer VPS hosting, dedicated servers and IP transit on the same Michigan network. See the hardware fleet powering it.
