What is Minecraft server hosting?
Minecraft server hosting means a hosting provider runs your server on professional hardware, so it stays online 24/7, even when you're not playing. The provider takes care of the hardware, network, and DDoS protection while you focus on building your world.
With hosted Minecraft servers you get a dedicated IP address to share with friends, automatic backups, and one-click mod pack installation. No port forwarding, no leaving your PC on overnight.
How do I start a Minecraft server?
Starting your own Minecraft server is simple: 1) choose a plan, 2) pay, 3) your server is online in 10 seconds. Share your server IP with friends and start playing. You can install any version or mod pack with one click from the control panel. Also see our step-by-step guide on how to create a Minecraft server for more details.
Which plan do I need?
The right plan depends on how many players will be online at the same time and whether you use mods or plugins. As a guideline:
- 2 GB - 1 to 10 players, vanilla
- 3 GB - 10 to 20 players with plugins
- 4 GB+ - mod packs like ATM, RLCraft, etc.
Not sure? Use our RAM calculator above for a personalized recommendation. You can always upgrade later.
Minecraft server hosting vs self hosting
When you host a Minecraft server yourself, your PC needs to stay on, you have to set up port forwarding, and you have no DDoS protection. With a hosted server you get 24/7 uptime, professional hardware, a dedicated IP address, and support when you need it.
You also need no technical knowledge. We take care of updates, backups, and monitoring so you can focus on playing.
Frequently asked questions

What does Minecraft server hosting involve?
Minecraft server hosting is the process of setting up a server that allows multiple players to play together in a shared Minecraft world. You choose a Minecraft hosting provider, configure your server, and invite players. You can customize the Minecraft experience with mods and plugins.
Which versions and mod packs can I use?
We support every Minecraft version and every mod pack. To make things easy we've got a list of Minecraft versions you can install with one click. Is your favorite mod pack or version not in our list? Let us know and we'll add it right away!
What are your server specifications?
Most of our servers are equipped with AMD Ryzen 9 7900 CPUs. Some of the other CPU models we use are the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and AMD Ryzen 9 3900X. All of our servers use NVMe SSDs for storage in raid 1.

How do I create a Minecraft server?
Choose the Minecraft server hosting plan that suits you best and pay with a payment method of your choice. After payment, you can immediately create your Minecraft server in our control panel. You will also find all the information you need to connect to your server in the panel.
What is Minecraft server RAM?
RAM is the server's memory where it stores information it's currently using, like player and world data. Additionally, every plugin and mod in a server also uses RAM. Not having enough RAM for a server can lead to crashes and performance problems.
How much RAM does my Minecraft server need?
How much RAM your server needs depends what version of Minecraft you want to play and how many players, plugins and mods you want your server to support. You can use our RAM calculator tool to get a good indication of how much RAM your server needs.
Do you support Minecraft plugins and mods?
Every CheeseHosting Minecraft server supports all plugins and mods. We have an enormous list of mod packs that you can install with one click in your server. You can also choose from many different available server versions such as Fabric, Paper, Forge and Spigot.
Do you support Minecraft Bedrock Edition?
Yes, we support both Minecraft Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. You can even run a cross-play server using Geyser so that Java and Bedrock players can play together on the same server.
