Minecraft server hosting in Singapore

Minecraft server hosting in Singapore: prices

Minecraft server hosting in Singapore costs from €11.45 a month for a 4 GB server at Astroworld Hosting, the only one of the three hosts we compare with servers there. The prices below include the Singapore surcharge, which is €3.50 a month on the two smallest plans and grows with the plan size. On a 24 month term, an 8 GB server costs €14.45 a month.

Minecraft server ping from Singapore across Southeast Asia

A Minecraft server in Singapore gives players in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines a ping of about 10 to 50 milliseconds, depending on their internet provider and where they live. That is fast enough for PvP on most connections. Singapore sits at a crossroads of submarine cables, which is why it is the usual datacenter for the whole region. Players in Australia reach Singapore in about 90 to 100 milliseconds, which is playable for survival but noticeably slower than a server in Sydney.

A server in Europe or the US is no real option for Southeast Asia, because the ping is several times higher than the 50 milliseconds where players start to feel it. Paying the location surcharge is worth it.

Singapore or Japan for a Minecraft server?

Choose Singapore for players in Southeast Asia and Japan for players in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Japan gives those northern players a ping under 20 milliseconds, and its prices are the same as Singapore's on most plans. For players in India and the countries around it, India is the better location; see Minecraft server hosting in India. If your group is spread over all of Asia, Singapore is the fairest middle. All three are compared on Minecraft hosting in Asia, and Japan on its own on Minecraft server hosting in Japan.

Minecraft Bedrock server hosting in Singapore

Bedrock and crossplay servers run in Singapore too, which matters in a region where many people play Minecraft on their phones. A Bedrock server is for phones, tablets, consoles and Windows; a crossplay server lets Java players on PC join the same world through Geyser. These are the Bedrock plans in Singapore with the surcharge included:
