Minecraft Server

Build your own Minecraft server. Choose your game variant, then dial in resources, storage, backups, databases, and more.

Choose the DDoS protection for your server. Both nodes are in US-East (Ashburn, Virginia). See DDoS Protection for details.

Which software your server runs on. Paper is the fastest and most popular for plugins and minigames. Vanilla is the original Minecraft experience with no mods. Forge lets you install big modpacks. Bedrock lets Xbox / mobile / Switch players join in.

RAM

How much memory your server has. More RAM lets you run bigger worlds, more plugins, and more players at once. 2 GB works for a small friend group; 8 GB+ handles large modded servers.

CPU

Your server's processing power. More cores help your server handle many players and complex tasks at the same time. 1-2 cores for a small server, 4-6 cores for big communities or modded gameplay.

Storage (NVMe)

How much space for your world, plugins, and backups. NVMe is the fastest storage type — your server will feel snappy. 10 GB for a simple world, 50+ GB for heavy modpacks.

Local Backup Slots

Backups stored right on your server node so you can quickly undo griefing or a bad plugin install. Each slot holds one full server backup that you can restore with one click.

Databases

Each database is a separate storage room for your plugins' data (like land claims, ranks, or shop balances). Most servers only need 1. Advanced setups with multiple plugins may use 2-5.

Allocation Slots

Extra ports beyond the default one. Some server networks (BungeeCord, Velocity) need multiple ports to chain servers together. 1 port is included — grab extras only if you know you need them.

Offsite Storage

Off-site backups stored in a different country (Finland) so your data survives even if the whole US-East region has problems. Each tier includes both storage space and backup slots — no need to pick separately.

Offsite Database Backups

Extra backups of just your databases (player ranks, land claims, shop balances), stored off-site separately from your world-file backups. Each slot protects one database snapshot off-site.

What your server will be called in the game panel. Pick anything — you can rename it later.
