How To Buy a Minecraft Server in 2023

So you want to buy a Minecraft server in 2023 well in order to do that there are a few different options for Server host in the description we have this link which is the best Minecraft server hosting for 2023. it goes over the best and top picks for a server hosting

Truthfully though the best overall is Apex they are the sponsor of this video but they truly are the best and I think you’ll see that by our data driven approach here that goes over everything Apex has to offer as well as what everybody else has to offer you’ve got

To compare them yourselves and probably and hopefully if you’ve done our job correctly come to the same conclusion nevertheless though once you’re here you can go ahead and choose plan or just click directly in the description down below the breakdown.xyz slash Apex that will take you directly to Apex hosting’s

Home page here where we can go ahead and purchase our Minecraft server in 2023. to do that just go ahead and click on get started now the reason you’re probably watching this video is you may have gotten confused with things like RAM and all this it’s a lot of choice

Luckily you’ve got me here to help you through it if you’re just playing a basic server just you and me maybe one other person only playing vanilla Minecraft which means no mods no plugins anything like that you’re probably gonna be okay with actually running two gigabytes for most people though I’ll

Recommend ramping it up to four gigabytes this is gonna allow you to add in some plugins some mods as well as have you know four to ten people without any problems whatsoever on your server on top of that it’s just an overall better deal it’s kind of one of the best

Deals on the page best bang for your buck if you will once you’re here and you’ve decided on your plan though two gigabytes for basic servers for you maybe another person on the server with no plugins this for most everyone else four gigabytes and by the way if you

Want to run some very intense mod packs things like RL craft you will need to bump up here to six gigabytes that’s the downside of mod packs they take a ton of ram to run without lag but nevertheless four gigabytes here’s what we’re gonna go with today so go ahead and click

Order now the one that take us off to where we can kind of start the order process now things you need to know here your panel username this will be used later to log in it used to just be your Minecraft username that still works but enter any username here that you want

For example you could enter and just your name or you could enter in your Alias like the breakdown for example now for subdomain this is something you’ll actually be able to use later to join your server for example you can type in the breakdown here.apexmc.co and you’ll be able to get

This domain if you want it so on and so forth you kind of get the idea you can easily go through and do that you could type in whatever you want literally whatever you want Dot apexnc.co and people will be able to join your server off of that nevertheless we then want to

Select our server version now for most people if you’re just playing Minecraft with no mods you want to leave it default now Minecraft 1193 paper means you’re going to get the best performance possible to your server while still being able to just play basically vanilla now the upside is if you want to

Add plugins you’ll also want to select this paper version what I’m getting at most people should just select paper however if you do want to use a Modpack you can type in modpacks here and they’re one click install for a lot of them as you can see our lcraft as I said

Requires six gigabytes but some don’t require six gigabytes you could select FTB Magic World for example but in our case we’re going to go ahead and we are going to select paper 1.19.3 right like so the next and last thing you need to do on this page is

Select your server location the general rule is the closer the server is to you the better so in my case that’s going to be Miami Florida but what’s great is let’s say you don’t know you live in Arizona you don’t know if Dallas or Los Angeles is going to be better for you

Well let’s go ahead and test your pink it’s going to tell you got 46 to Dallas in this case and then if we go ahead and we test Los Angeles by clicking that test ping button we’re going to see 74 to Los Angeles so in this case you would

Want to go with Dallas now in my case I probably want to go with Miami actually it says Dallas is working better but I’m going to go with Miami because that is closer to me and I just have had a lot of success running out of the Miami

Location now let’s just go ahead and then go click continue right like so and now you just purchase your server you go through the purchase process you click checkout and then enter your purchase information obviously we’re not going to do that on video so we will meet you on

The page that you see after you enter all your information and then click complete your order so there we go the purchase has been made you’ll be met with light screen like this where they’re asking to share your review of basically the checkout process you don’t

Have to do that you can go and click no or click yes just up to you and then we get a bunch of information now this is helpful info we’re gonna be going over a lot of the basics here later in this video but overall getting started good

Little video to watch as well as what to look out for new server information is a big one and then you can just kind of log in and start playing from there you can also log into the multicraft control panel we’ll be doing that and then there’s also the billing area if you

Want to manage any of that part of your server but now let’s let’s go ahead and check our email because we’re looking for that one called new server information let’s do it so here we go we have our new server information email you can see all the different stuff here

That you want to know about your server the IP address for your server is right here right so this is the IP address for your server you can copy and paste this into Minecraft and join and play right away we’ve also got our billing account login and our cpanel or panel account

Login we’re going to do this here in a second but first let’s go in and join our server we’re going to copy this IP address and then we’re gonna go paste it into to Minecraft so we’ve got the IP address copied and guess what we can now

Go ahead and just open up Minecraft and then in Minecraft go to multiplayer proceed if you have that pop up and then go ahead and add the server now I’m going to name this our Apex 2023 server then we can go ahead and paste the server address in there right like so

When we click done the server is going to load up and if we click refresh it will say that we can join now sometimes when you first join or buy a server it can actually take a second there it is took a second there and there it is now

We can join it right like so now once you join in the server you’ll be able to play and that’s what’s great so great about Minecraft servers from people like Apex as well as you know the other hosting companies that we recommend is that once you buy the server you can

Start playing if you want if you don’t want any mods or any plugins or anything like that you just play on this server and it’s here right you can play on it your friends can join using that IP address just send them the IP they can

Join the exact same way and you’re kind of done use play on your server right that’s what’s so great however what if you want to take things to the next level what if you want to add plug and answer that this that whatever well in

Order to do that you’re going to need to log into your server via your panel so over here on the right hand side we have the panel login if you go ahead and click this panel login here it’s actually going to take you to this page

Here now as you can see I’ve got username all that stuff that you can enter in and you know join your cpanel basically you’re going to enter in the username and password from that email I already had an account so guess what I’ve already got a username and password

That I’m going to use to log in here but nevertheless we can go ahead and log right on in when we do this you’ll probably be taken straight to a server page if not go ahead and click on the little Minecraft icon here and then we

Want to select our server I’ve got a few so we need to make sure we’re selecting the one that we bought today and that’s this one this is only about today so nevertheless there we go there’s our servers you can see the amount of ram 4000 megabytes also known as four
