Minecraft server hosting in Finland

Minecraft server hosting in Finland: Helsinki

Minecraft server hosting in Finland costs from €14.70 a month for 4 GB at Astroworld Hosting in Helsinki, the one Finnish location among the three hosts we compare. Helsinki has four sizes, each priced with its own surcharge of €6.75 to €28.00 a month:

Most Finnish players live within a short trip of the server: Lahti is about 100 km from Helsinki, Turku 150 km and Tampere about 160 km. Oulu is about 540 km to the north and Rovaniemi about 705 km, and both are still more than twice as close to Helsinki as to any other location.

Astroworld Hosting notes that backups fill a server's disk fastest, and Helsinki has more room for them than the regions without a surcharge. The 12 GB plan comes with 160 GB of NVMe in Helsinki against 75 GB of SSD in Germany, and the 24 GB plan with 240 GB against 150 GB.

Minecraft server hosting in Sweden

For Minecraft server hosting in Sweden, Helsinki is the nearest location to Stockholm, about 400 km away, and to the east coast up to Umeå and Luleå. Warsaw is about 810 km from Stockholm. The west and the south are a different story. Gothenburg is about 790 km from Helsinki and 840 km from Warsaw, close enough to call a tie, and Malmö is about 640 km from Warsaw against 870 km from Helsinki. Astroworld Hosting itself says its German region is roughly as good for Gothenburg and the west, at no extra cost. A Swedish group spread over the country does best in Helsinki, and one based in Skåne can save money in Warsaw.

Minecraft server hosting in Norway and Denmark

Minecraft server hosting in Norway can run in Helsinki for Oslo, about 790 km away, where Warsaw is about 1,060 km. Astroworld Hosting puts its German region, which has no surcharge, at roughly the same distance as Helsinki for Norwegian and Danish players. Denmark is closer to Warsaw than to Helsinki: Copenhagen is about 670 km from Warsaw and 880 km from Helsinki, so a Danish group gets a shorter route and the cheaper plans in Poland. The Norwegian west coast is the odd one out. Bergen and Stavanger are about 1,080 km from Helsinki, but about 890 km and 740 km from Amsterdam, where Astroworld Hosting charges the same surcharge as in Helsinki. See Minecraft hosting in the Netherlands for those plans.

Minecraft server hosting in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania

Minecraft server hosting in Estonia is closest in Helsinki: Tallinn is 82 km away, across the Gulf of Finland, and Tartu about 220 km. Riga is about 360 km from Helsinki and 560 km from Warsaw, so Latvia goes to Helsinki too. Lithuania tips the other way. Vilnius is about 390 km from Warsaw and 610 km from Helsinki, and Kaunas about 350 km from Warsaw, so a Lithuanian group gets both the shorter route and the lower price in Poland.
