Astroworld vs PebbleHost

Side by Side

Right-hand column: what that host publishes. It changes without telling us. Middle column: read from our own price list.

A different panel, and then look at what is under it

PebbleHost hands you the standard open panel, the one most Minecraft guides are written for, so the file manager, the console, the schedules and the allocations work the way you already know. Ours is a panel we built and run ourselves, with the same jobs in it plus an AI Copilot that installs plugins and writes config files for you. Past the panel there are two things that are easy to overlook. The first is which tier the NVMe is on, because a budget tier on slower storage and a premium tier on NVMe are not the same product under one brand; here the disk is named on every plan, SSD on the standard line from Mini up and Enterprise NVMe on the Performance line, with no hidden cheaper version underneath either. The second is arithmetic: their budget tier is $1.00 a gigabyte, so the 4 GB we put in Mini would be $4.00 a month at that rate, against €7.00 here with 2 vCPU named on it. The third is where the machine is: they list two continents, and ping is the one thing no plan upgrade fixes.

The memory guide has those rows in full.

Questions people ask before switching

Summary

Their budget tier wins on price at the small end, and that is a fair thing for us to say out loud on our own comparison page. What we sell instead is a plan where the cores, the memory and the disk, SSD or Enterprise NVMe, are all named and none of them are the premium version of a cheaper thing. If your players are outside the US and the EU, that decides it before any of the rest does.
