Budget or Performance?

Budget is the lowest-cost option, for survival worlds and smaller groups. It runs in the EU on DDR4 memory and SSD storage.

Performance runs in the UK on Ryzen 7 7700X processors, DDR5 memory and NVMe storage. It's the better choice for big modpacks, lots of plugins and busy worlds.

Not sure how much memory you need? Here's how to choose.

Try it free first

The Minecraft Budget 4 GB plan is free for 48 hours, with no card needed. Set it up, invite your friends, and keep it if you like it. Start a free trial.

Questions

Is there a setup fee or a contract?+

No. You pay monthly, or yearly if you prefer, and you can cancel any time from your client area. Your server keeps running until the end of the time you've paid for.

Is cheap Minecraft hosting laggy?+

Lag mostly comes from a server having too little memory for what it runs. A vanilla world with a few friends runs well on 2 to 4 GB; modpacks need more. Pick by what you'll run, and upgrade later if you need to: your world comes with you.

Where are the servers?+

Performance servers run in the UK and Budget servers run in the EU. Both are close to the UK.

Can I try it before paying?+

Yes. The Minecraft Budget 4 GB plan is free for 48 hours, with no card needed. Keep it when you're ready, or let it go and nothing is charged.

How fast is it set up?+

Straight away. Your server is set up automatically as soon as your payment goes through, usually within a few minutes, and we email you its address.
