Minecraft server hosting with plugin support, automated backups and DDoS protection.
The rankings are warming up.
Minecraft hosting demands a high-frequency CPU (Minecraft is mostly single-threaded until 1.20+ added multi-threaded chunk rendering). Plan 2-4 GB of RAM for 10 vanilla players, 6-8 GB with heavy mods (Forge, Fabric). Specialised hosts provide panels (Pterodactyl, Multicraft), mod management, Minecraft-aware anti-DDoS (Aegis, TCPShield) and included backups. Supported editions: Java and Bedrock (PE).
Multiplayer games are mostly single-thread - favour a high CPU clock (4 GHz+) over a high core count. RAM depends on the game: 2-4 GB for 10 Minecraft players, 8-16 GB for 50 Rust players.
A game host bundles panels (Pterodactyl, TCAdmin), mod management, calibrated anti-DDoS and backups - hours of setup saved. A VPS costs less but expects sysadmin skills.
L4/L7 DDoS protection is mandatory - check the absorption capacity in Gbps the host advertises, and favour those who filter upstream without rerouting.
