Our fastest Minecraft hosting

Premium performance for communities of any size.

The Premium tier delivers our best Minecraft server performance, from small private servers to large communities with high player counts and demanding modpacks.

Ryzen 9 performance for demanding worlds

Powered by the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X and fast DDR5 memory, Premium provides exceptional single-threaded and multi-threaded CPU performance. It is built for demanding Minecraft workloads where strong CPU performance keeps gameplay smooth and server performance consistent.

Start small and scale with your server

Premium works just as well for a few friends as it does for a large community. Choose a smaller plan with less RAM to start, then scale up for more players, large modpacks, or resource-intensive plugins. You can upgrade or downgrade RAM at any time.

Built to stay smooth under load

With the right server configuration, Premium is designed to maintain a stable 20 TPS even under demanding workloads, keeping the experience smooth and responsive for your players.

Standard and Budget may offer better value for smaller or less demanding servers. If you expect large player counts, run demanding modpacks, or simply want our best performance, Premium is the recommended choice.

Strongest hardware

Designed for demanding Minecraft workloads.

Premium combines Ryzen 9 9950X processors and DDR5 memory with flexible plan sizes, so both small performance-focused servers and large communities can use it.

Why fast single-thread performance matters

Minecraft's main game loop must complete its work every tick. Faster CPU cores provide more room for entities, chunk activity, plugins, and modpack logic before the server falls behind.

20 TPS is a target, not a blanket guarantee

Premium is designed to maintain 20 TPS with a suitable configuration. Extreme view distances, unoptimized mods, entity-heavy farms, or unusually busy worlds can still exceed any server's processing budget.

Player counts are planning estimates, not enforced limits or performance guarantees. Real capacity changes with the Minecraft version, server software, mods, plugins, view and simulation distances, world activity, entities, and how widely players explore. Start with the closest fit, monitor your server, and change plans when its workload changes.

Built around your players

Minecraft hosting without the usual trade-offs.

Start free, add performance when your players need it, and stay in control of what you spend.
  • Flexible resources

    Scale when your world needs it

    Move to more CPU and RAM for a busy weekend, a special event, or a growing modpack. Scale back down whenever demand drops.

    Change plans at any time

  • Essentials included

    Everything you need to host with confidence

    DDoS protection, a memorable subdomain, backups, and the PowerupStack Panel make your server easier to protect and manage.

    DDoS protection included

  • On-demand billing

    Pay for playtime, not idle time

    Paid compute follows your server's online time. Turn it off when nobody is playing, while your world remains safely stored for next time.

    Predictable monthly compute cap

Included with paid servers
Scale resources up or down when you need to, with game-specific controls, backups, files, and access in one powerful panel.

  • Unlimited player slots

    We don't impose a player-slot cap. Choose the compute resources your game needs, then set an appropriate slot limit.

  • Scale up or down anytime

    Move to a larger plan for more RAM and CPU during busy weekends or events, then scale back down when demand drops to lower your costs.

  • Run 24/7

    Keep your server online 24/7, or turn it off when no one is playing to save on compute.

  • PowerupStack Panel

    Powerful game-specific tools and tight integrations make everyday server management simple.

  • Managed backups

    Seven daily backups are included and managed for you.

  • Files and SFTP

    Manage files in the panel or connect directly over SFTP.

  • Team access and audit log

    Invite subusers with granular permissions and review important server and account activity.

  • DDoS protection

    Built-in DDoS protection helps keep your game server reachable during attacks.

  • Pay-as-you-go pricing

    Pay for compute only while your server is online, up to a monthly cap.

  • Free subdomain

    Connect with a memorable subdomain instead of remembering your server's IP address.

  • Up to 20 network ports

    Run game services, query ports, and supported companion tools.

  • Support when you need assistance

    Get help from our support team with sales questions, account issues, or your game server.

Minecraft only

More control over your world.

  • Auto-start on join

    Players can start the server simply by joining. Pair it with automatic shutdown when nobody is online so compute billing follows actual playtime.

  • Player management

    Whitelist, ban, kick, or grant operator access. View inventories and statistics, and manage player food and health.

  • World management

    Manage Minecraft worlds from the panel without working directly in the file system.

  • Plugins and mods

    Find and install supported plugins and mods through the workshop.

Good to know.

Straight answers about Minecraft plans, billing, gameplay, and server locations.

Compute is charged only while your Minecraft server is online. When the server is stopped, compute charges stop too; storage and optional backup charges continue so your world remains available.

Prices are shown per hour for easy comparison, but usage is measured with second-level precision. Short sessions are billed as short sessions, not rounded up to a full hour.

Online time is billed at the on-demand rate until compute charges reach the plan's monthly cap. After that, you can keep the server online for the rest of the calendar month without additional compute charges. Storage and optional backups are billed separately.

Storage is billed separately because your world must remain saved even while the server is offline.

Usage is measured in MB-hours and billed daily. A full month of 1 GB of storage typically costs about 10 credits; the exact amount varies slightly with the length of the calendar month.

Storage includes seven daily backups at no additional charge.

Paid plans include seven daily backups as part of the storage price.

Additional backup storage is optional and billed daily from average usage. A full month typically costs about 2 credits per GB, with small variations based on the number of days in the month.

Each tier has different resource limits and CPU performance. Minecraft server performance depends heavily on single-thread CPU performance, so we recommend Premium for the best experience.

Budget uses older CPUs, which lets us offer it at a lower price, but its lower performance makes it best suited to small servers. Standard is the middle ground and is suited to medium-sized servers.

For modpacks, we generally recommend Premium. Some modpacks need significantly more CPU performance in addition to extra RAM.

No hosting tier can guarantee 20 TPS for every configuration. Premium provides our strongest hardware and is designed to maintain 20 TPS with a suitable setup, but extreme view distances, unoptimized mods, large entity farms, and unusually busy worlds can still overload a game tick.

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade between paid plans at any time, so you can add resources for a growing world or reduce them later. Moving from a paid plan back to the free tier is not currently supported.

It is not a trial. Your free server stays free, and you can upgrade when you need more resources or paid-plan features.

Both Minecraft Java Edition and Minecraft Bedrock Edition servers are supported.

Yes. Paid plans support 24/7 uptime. You can also stop the server when nobody is playing to reduce compute charges without losing your world.

There is no player-count limit. Minecraft defaults to 20 player slots, but you can configure a higher value. Each plan's advertised player count is only a recommendation: realistic capacity depends on the server software, mods, plugins and other customization, player activity, and whether players stay close together or spread out.

Minecraft servers are currently available in Europe, North America, Singapore, and Australia. Choose the location closest to most of your players for the best latency.

Give demanding worlds room to perform.

Choose Premium for the strongest hardware tier, responsive gameplay, 24/7 availability, and a predictable monthly compute cap.
