Minecraft server hosting in Turkey: Istanbul
Minecraft server hosting in Turkey costs from €14.70 a month for 4 GB at Astroworld Hosting in Istanbul, the only location in Turkey that any of the three hosts we compare runs. The surcharge for Istanbul is set per plan, from €6.75 on the smallest size to €28.00 on 24 GB, and every price below already includes it:
| RAM you need | Astroworld |
|---|---|
| 4 GB | Mini €14.70 a month |
| 8 GB | Starter €20.95 a month |
| 12 GB | Standard €30.95 a month |
| 24 GB | Premium €51.95 a month |
The Istanbul plans run on NVMe disks: 60 GB on 4 GB, 120 GB on 8 GB, 160 GB on 12 GB and 240 GB on 24 GB. That is more than the same plans carry in the regions with no surcharge, where 8 GB comes with 60 GB of SSD. The 24 GB plan is the largest in Istanbul. By our rule it holds about 40 players with a few plugins, or 16 on a large modpack. Anything bigger has to run in Poland or Germany, where plans go up to 128 GB.
How far is a Minecraft server in Istanbul from the rest of Turkey?
A Minecraft server in Istanbul is 349 km from players in Ankara and 328 km from Izmir, and the far east of Turkey is about 1,260 km away in Van. Bursa is only about 90 km away and Antalya, on the south coast, about 480 km. Going east the trip gets long, with Trabzon at about 900 km and Diyarbakir at about 1,030 km. Even from Van, every location outside Turkey is further, so Istanbul gives the whole country the shortest route the three hosts can offer.
Minecraft server hosting for the Middle East and Greece
Minecraft server hosting for the Middle East and Greece is closest in Istanbul as well: Athens is about 560 km away, Nicosia in Cyprus about 750 km and Tel Aviv about 1,120 km. Bulgaria and Romania are nearer still, with Sofia at about 500 km and Bucharest at about 450 km. Astroworld Hosting names Istanbul as the nearest of its locations to Greece, with Milan next. In the Gulf, Istanbul has a rival. Riyadh is about 2,440 km away and Dubai about 3,000 km, and the host itself says its Indian region is worth comparing there, so a group in Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates should also read Minecraft hosting in India.
Istanbul, Poland or Germany for a Turkish Minecraft server?
For a Turkish Minecraft server, Istanbul is the closest location, Poland the cheapest at about 1,390 km away, and Germany the one without a surcharge at Astroworld Hosting. This is what 8 GB, enough for ten players with a few plugins, costs in each place:
| Location | Distance from Istanbul | 8 GB plan | Per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Istanbul | In the city | Astroworld Starter | €20.95 |
| Warsaw, Poland | About 1,390 km | CheapestMinecraftHosting Plus | €6.40 |
| Germany | Further than Warsaw | Astroworld Starter | €12.95 |
A survival server for friends, where nobody counts milliseconds, can save the difference in Poland, on a Ryzen 9 7950X. PvP and minigames are where Istanbul earns its surcharge. Germany is the compromise Astroworld Hosting itself suggests for a community that is half Turkish and half western European.

By our rule ten Bedrock players need 6 GB, the Village plan, at €23.95 a month in Istanbul. In Poland, Cheapest Minecraft Hosting runs Java, Bedrock and Crossplay on the same plans, and its 8 GB plan costs €6.40.
