Minecraft Server Hosting in Keflavik, Iceland
Keflavik is the strangest entry on this list and the most interesting one. Iceland sits in the middle of the North Atlantic, which makes this the only location we offer where European and North American players are roughly the same distance away.
Who sits close to Keflavik
Iceland itself, and then nobody in particular, which is the point. Britain, Ireland and Scandinavia are the nearest large groups, and the Canadian and American east coast is not much further. Nothing here is as close as a local server, and nothing is as far as the opposite continent.
Who picks Keflavik
Servers split across the Atlantic
A community half European and half North American. Instead of one half paying for the whole ocean, both pay for half of it.

Storage in Keflavik
Keflavik runs on NVMe storage on all the sizes it carries, and the table above gives the space per plan. Check it against the world you already have, because a world that has been running a year is usually bigger than the one you are imagining.
On 1 of the 4 sizes Keflavik runs, the drive holds more than the same plan carries in a region that is included in the plan price:
- Starter in Keflavik: 120 GB NVMe, against 80 GB SSD on the same plan elsewhere.
When another location is the better answer
Almost always, if your community sits on one side of the ocean. A European server belongs in Europe and an American one in America; this location is for the case where neither is true.
- United Kingdom, for a mostly European community.
- US (East), for a mostly American community.
Questions about the Iceland location
Does a mid-Atlantic server actually work?
For survival and building, yes, and it is a fair compromise. For competitive PvP both sides feel the distance, and then you are better off picking a side and being honest about it.
Who ends up choosing this?
Servers whose community genuinely straddles the Atlantic and who are tired of alternating between complaints from one side and the other.
Which plans are available?
