Vanilla plus servers don’t count the number of players who can join of course you’d need a pretty powerful server depending on the number of players you want online keep in mind that you can’t join a bedrock Edition server off of your Xbox Playstation 4 and 10 a switch

Or any other similar console platform it can only be joined from PC Windows 10 Edition iOS and Android the directions on creating a server are directed to creating one through apex hosting you can also create one on your home computer but this isn’t recommended as many factors play into owning a server

Such as DDoS protection 24/7 uptime support and etc all of which are provided by Apex and now we’re going to go over how to create your own apex server what you’re gonna want to do is from the main apex hosting web page you’re gonna want to jump into the

Pricing tab at the top of the page you’re gonna see a few different plans here and we have a guide that goes over on how much RAM you’ll need you can go to our guides by jumping into the support tab and looking for the guides

At the top left once you decide on what plan you want go ahead and click on order now and then proceed through with the payment instructions once the payment has gone through for your server you’re going to receive an email with all of your account information for the game panel

And once for a 10 player realm plus it’s quite pricey for what you’re getting it also restricts who can and can’t join plus on top of all that you don’t get any of the benefits that come along with server hosting such as 24/7 support want to click mod pack installations game
