Hosting your SMP deserves.

Minecraft Java servers in Europe for the communities that keep coming back. Published hardware, a free move from your old host, and a panel you never need a terminal for.

What you get, and why it matters

Hosting features are easy to list and hard to verify. Here is what each of ours changes about running your server.

All 8 features in detail
  • Hardware chosen for Minecraft

    Minecraft lives or dies on single-thread CPU performance. Nodes are picked for clock speed and headroom, not for how many customers fit on them.

  • NVMe storage throughout

    Worlds load, chunks save and backups run against NVMe. No spinning disks, no shared network storage in the hot path.

  • DDoS protection on every plan

    Public Minecraft servers get attacked. Network-level filtering is standard on every plan, not a paid upgrade.

  • Free migration help

    Send us the files from your current host and we move the world, plugins, configs and player data across for you.

Run the whole server from a browser tab

Console, files, backups, databases and scheduled jobs are all in the panel. SSH is available if you want it, and never required.

  • Restarts that happen without you

    Set the time once. The server restarts at 5am whether or not anyone is awake to type the command.

  • A backup before the risky update

    Take one by hand, or let a schedule take it nightly, and roll back from the same screen.

  • Access for the people who help you run it

    Give a co-owner or a builder their own login instead of handing out your password.
