Minecraft Server Hosting in Amsterdam
Amsterdam is for a server whose players are Dutch or Belgian and who would rather have the server in their own country than one border away. It sits on one of the busiest exchanges in Europe, which is why almost every route in this part of the world passes through it anyway.
Who sits close to Amsterdam
The Netherlands and Belgium first, and the north of Germany and the east of England after that. For most of continental Europe the difference against our German region is small, which is worth knowing before you pay the surcharge.
Who picks Amsterdam
Dutch communities
A server for a Dutch group, hosted in the Netherlands. It is a short distance and it is also simply the answer people want when they ask where their server is.
Belgian and Flemish servers
Amsterdam is closer to Antwerp and Brussels than any of our included regions, and the route there is one of the best connected in Europe.
What you can order in Amsterdam
Amsterdam carries a surcharge that depends on the plan you take. The table shows the finished price per size, surcharge already added.
| Plan | Per month on a 24-month term | Month to month |
|---|---|---|
| Mini4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 60 GB NVMe | €13.74 | €15.24 |
| Starter8 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 120 GB NVMe | €16.79 | €18.99 |
| Standard12 GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 160 GB NVMe | €27.59 | €30.99 |
| Premium24 GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 240 GB NVMe | €51.99 | €57.99 |
Amsterdam carries 4 of our 7 sizes, up to 24 GB. Above that, Amsterdam is not the place for it and one of the regions with a flat surcharge is.
Storage in Amsterdam
Every size in Amsterdam runs on NVMe storage, and the figure per size stands next to the plan in the table above. It is the same world, the same backups and the same plugins as anywhere else; only the drive underneath differs from an Amsterdam order to a German one.
On 1 of the 4 sizes Amsterdam runs, the drive holds more than the same plan carries in a region that is included in the plan price:
- Starter in Amsterdam: 120 GB NVMe, against 80 GB SSD on the same plan elsewhere.
When another location is the better answer
If the surcharge is what is holding you up, our German region costs nothing on top of the plan and a Dutch player will barely tell the two apart. Amsterdam is worth it when you want the server in the Netherlands specifically.
Questions about the Amsterdam location
What does Amsterdam add to the price?
A surcharge that depends on the plan, which is why the table shows a figure per size rather than one number. Nothing is added on top of it later.
Is it much better than the German region for Dutch players?
Slightly. Both are close, and the honest reason to pick Amsterdam is that you want the server in the Netherlands rather than that the game will feel different.
Are all plan sizes available here?
No. Amsterdam runs the sizes in the table above; anything larger belongs on one of the regions that are included in the plan price.
