Minecraft server hosting finder Find your Minecraft server.
Get back to playing.

A Minecraft server needs about 2 GB of RAM for itself, plus 1 GB for every 3 players on vanilla or 1 GB for every 2 players with plugins, so most small groups need 4 to 8 GB. The total depends on how many players are online at the same time and what you run on the server. A modded server starts at 5 GB plus 1 GB for every 2 players, and a large modpack needs about 8 GB plus 1 GB per player.

For example, 10 friends on a Paper server with a few plugins need about 7 GB, so an 8 GB plan is a good fit. Our Minecraft server RAM calculator works this out for you and shows the plans that fit.

The best Minecraft server hosting is the plan that fits your server: your number of players, your plugins or mods and where your players live. For most groups in Europe, the finder recommends a Performance plan at Lodehost or Astroworld Hosting. These plans run on reserved AMD Ryzen 9 threads, and a fast core is what keeps farms and redstone running smoothly.

If price matters most, the finder picks Cheapest Minecraft Hosting in Poland. Outside Europe, Astroworld Hosting has the most locations, from the US to Japan and Sydney.

You answer five short questions: how many players are online at the same time, what you run on the server, whether you play Java, Bedrock or crossplay, what matters most to you and where your players play. The finder then calculates how much RAM you need, picks the server location, compares the plans of the three hosts there and shows the plan that fits best, with its price and a link to the order page. For players anywhere in Europe the server goes to Poland, and elsewhere to the location nearest to them. Under Edit answers you can change any answer or choose another location yourself. How we choose explains every rule the finder uses.

Yes. All three hosts let you upgrade to a bigger plan and keep your world, plugins and server address. Astroworld Hosting and Lodehost also let you move to a smaller plan. Your server restarts once and you do not have to set anything up again, so if your first plan turns out to be too small, you move up to the next size.

Choose a location close to most of your players, because the distance to the server decides your ping. A server in Poland works well for players all over Europe: the ping to Warsaw stays under 100 ms from across the continent, it has the fastest processor on our list, and Germany is a close second. US East covers the east coast and a large part of Canada, and US West is the best choice for the Pacific side. Players in Asia or Australia should pick a server on their own continent: Astroworld Hosting has servers in Japan, Singapore, India and Sydney.

Three hosts: Astroworld Hosting, Lodehost and Cheapest Minecraft Hosting. For every plan we take the price, the processor and the locations from the host's own order page, so what you see here is what you pay there. If a host changes a price, we update this site to match.

The three hosts are built for different players. Cheapest Minecraft Hosting is the budget option, Lodehost offers simple plans in the middle, and Astroworld Hosting has the most locations and the widest choice of plans. The finder sends you to the one that fits your server, and how we choose explains every rule.

Yes. Astroworld Hosting and Lodehost give new customers 60% off on their Performance plans in Poland and 20% off in Germany, on their first two servers. At Astroworld Hosting it covers the first 3 months when you pay monthly, or the whole first payment on a 6, 12 or 24 month term, so an 8 GB Performance server in Warsaw costs €6.38 a month for 3 months and then €15.95 a month. At Lodehost it covers the first payment, monthly or on a longer term. Cheapest Minecraft Hosting has no welcome discount: it charges the same €0.80 per GB of RAM on every term.

Astroworld Hosting and Lodehost include a free website with every Minecraft server plan from 8 GB of RAM. You build it in the server panel from ready-made sections, and it shows your server address, version and players online by itself. Cheapest Minecraft Hosting does not include a website. Our page on the free Minecraft server website lists the plans that have one.

No. The button opens the host's own order page with your plan, location and edition already filled in, at the same price the host charges everyone else. You pay the host directly.
