Why host your own Minecraft server?
A Minecraft server of your own means your world runs around the clock, not only while your laptop is open. Friends join whenever they like, builds and farms keep ticking, and you decide the rules: survival or creative, PvP on or off, a whitelist for close friends or an open door for a community. Nothing is stuck on one machine: the world lives on the server and everyone shares it.
Our Minecraft hosting runs on AMD Ryzen CPUs with high single-core clocks, which is what Minecraft actually rewards, with DDR5 memory and NVMe storage for fast chunk loading. Every plan comes with VibeSHIELD DDoS protection, a control panel with a live console and file manager, SFTP access and support from a team that hosts thousands of game servers. Your server is online within minutes of ordering.
Which Minecraft plan do you need?
Minecraft's appetite is set by two things: how many players are online and how much is loaded around them. Mods and big plugin stacks weigh far more than extra players. As a rule of thumb:
Friends and family: Cobblestone or Stone
3 to 4 GB runs a vanilla or Paper world for 2 to 10 players with a handful of plugins. Plenty for a survival world with friends, and the cheapest way to keep it online all day.
Communities and plugins: Coal to Lapiz
6 to 12 GB covers 10 to 40 players on Paper or Spigot with a full plugin set, or a modest Forge or Fabric modpack. This is where most community servers sit.
Modpacks and networks: Redstone to Diamond
16 to 32 GB for heavy modpacks such as All the Mods or large packs with hundreds of mods, big player counts and generated worlds that never stop growing. Upgrading between plans takes a few clicks and keeps your world.
Paper, Spigot, Forge, Fabric: every server type, one click
Switch the server type from the control panel and the right software is installed for you: Vanilla for the pure experience, Paper or Spigot for plugins and performance, Forge, NeoForge or Fabric for mods. Change the Minecraft version the same way, from the latest release back to classic versions, so you can keep an older modpack alive or jump to a new release the day it ships.
Plugins
Drop Paper or Spigot plugins into the plugins folder through the file manager or SFTP and restart. EssentialsX, LuckPerms, WorldEdit, Dynmap: everything from the Spigot and Hangar catalogues works.
Modpacks and mods
Upload a CurseForge or Modrinth pack, or install mods one by one on Forge, NeoForge or Fabric. Server-side mods go in the mods folder; players install the matching client pack and join.
Your own world
Upload an existing world over SFTP, import a map from the internet, or start fresh with a seed of your choice. Backups are yours to download at any moment.
Minecraft server locations worldwide
Low ping is half the fun. Our Minecraft servers run in 15 datacenters across Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Oceania and Africa, every one on the same AMD Ryzen hardware with NVMe storage and behind VibeSHIELD, our own DDoS protection network with 17 Tb/s of mitigation capacity. You pick the location at checkout, and the latency checker below shows your real ping to each one before you order.
Outgrown your first choice? Our team moves your server to another location on request, with your files intact, so the location you start in is never a lock-in.

Switching from another Minecraft host?
Moving a Minecraft server is mostly moving files: the world folder, your plugins or mods with their configs, and server.properties. Upload them over SFTP, set the same server type and version in the control panel, start the server and everything is where you left it, including player inventories and permissions.

DDoS protection
VibeSHIELD, our globally anycasted DDoS-protected network, now spans 46 scrubbing locations worldwide. Every point of presence filters traffic the instant it lands, stopping attacks as close to the source as possible, long before they ever reach your server.
All 46 locations combine into one unified DDoS-protected fabric, so the full capacity of the entire network backs every individual server. Layer that on top of custom game-aware filtering, tuned for the protocols our customers actually use, and it doesn't matter how big the attack is or how long it lasts. Your players stay connected.
