Is Starter the right size for you?
Starter gives you 8 GB of memory, 2 vCPU and 60 GB SSD. What that carries on Starter:
- A medium modpack of one to two hundred mods, All the Mods Lite or Better MC, for a group of friends.
- A plugin server with twenty to thirty players where the world keeps growing: 8 GB is where Paper stops fighting for memory.
What it will not carry on Starter:
- The heaviest packs at full render distance with more than ten players at once; those want twelve gigabytes and eat processor as well as memory.
- Several worlds at once with a lobby in front of them. That is a network, and a network starts at Premium.
Standard adds €4.00 per month for 12 GB, 3 vCPU and 75 GB, which is the step people take once a heavy pack starts stuttering during world generation.
60 GB SSD carries a modpack, its world and a stack of daily backups. A modpack world grows faster than a vanilla one, because chunks store more per block.
The full breakdown of this Starter plan, with the price on every term and what runs comfortably on it, is on the Starter plan page. Not sure about the size, or whether Starter at 8 GB is the one? The RAM guide works it out from your player count and your modpack.
Notes on the choices above
What comes with this plan at no cost
The daily backup for this size is normally €2.99 per month, and it is free for as long as this offer runs. Every night we take a copy of your whole server. You keep up to ten of them, and when a new one needs room the oldest moves to a bin that holds it for another seven days, so a backup you still wanted is never gone the same day.
The same size also exists on the Performance line (AMD Ryzen 9 7950X or AMD Ryzen 9 5900X), and for as long as this offer runs it costs the same there as here. That line gives you faster cores, an NVMe slice of its own and a faster network port. The link to it sits under the order summary above, and nothing else about your plan changes when you move over: the memory, the disk and the backups stay exactly as they are on this page.
Disk
NVMe is the quicker disk, and Enterprise NVMe is the disk under every plan on the Performance line. Your world loads faster and the server does not stall when it saves. SSD is the standard disk on the standard line: slower, but you get more room for the same money. Take that one if you hang on to old worlds and a pile of backups.
Your server
We install this for you. You can switch software or version any time from your panel.
Your account
Your server, your files and your invoices all sit behind one login. We need it before you pay, so the server lands in your panel and not in a mailbox somewhere.
Delivery within 60 minutes during the day and within 12 hours at night, most servers are handed over instantly.
The same plan on the Performance line
Starter also exists on the Performance line, with a temporarily free upgrade: you pay the regular price of this size instead of the higher Performance price (the end of line sale is on the standard line only), with the same memory. What changes is the machine underneath: an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X or AMD Ryzen 9 5900X instead of shared AMD EPYC cores, Enterprise NVMe instead of SSD, a full thread for every vCPU and a faster network port. Minecraft runs its tick on one core, so a faster core does more for your server than an extra one, and that is why that line pairs fewer vCPU with a faster processor.
The Performance line runs in Germany on the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and in Poland (Warsaw) on the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X with DDR5 RAM. Those two are the whole line: the same plans, the same memory and the same disks in both, with the faster network port on either. That is where the machines for this line are, so those are the regions we can promise for it. Every other location stays available on the standard line, at the same prices as always.
Every plan on this page is shown on the Performance line, at no extra cost, for a limited time. That line runs on an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X in Germany or an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X with DDR5 RAM in Poland, with an NVMe slice of its own and a faster network port. On this page you are on the standard line, with every one of the 27 locations open to you.
Pick the line that fits your players. The standard line when you want a location outside Germany or the larger SSD sizes, the Performance line when the tick is the bottleneck and Germany, or North America from 16 GB up, is close enough. Your panel, the AI Copilot, the free subdomain, the DDoS filtering and the nightly backups are the same on both lines.
