Best Minecraft Server Hosting Companies of 2023

The best Minecraft server hosting companies of 2023 that’s we’re going to be looking at in this video we do one of these videos every single year keeping them up to date making sure that you’re most informed and getting the best Minecraft server hosting possible now

Right up front I do want to mention that we have affiliate relationships with every company that we mention on this channel it’s mostly because it’s how we keep the lights on here it’s how we can do in-depth looks spending hundreds of dollars of years on Minecraft servers

Just for this video in order to make sure that we give you the best hosts out there if that’s something you don’t like you can go to these websites directly and all that but if you do buy through the links in the description or on our

Website it does provide us a little bit of a commission at zero additional cost to you we would never take an affiliate deal that mean you are going to pay more this doesn’t make sense so I do want to disclose that up front but again every

Server host out there we have some sort of an affiliate relationship with because it’s just possible for a Channel of this size to get those sort of setups nevertheless I want to disclose that not only do we have to I just think it’s the right thing to do first on the list

Though is Apex Minecraft hosting there’s a reason that we work with them all the time on the channel they constantly win this list year year after year there are a few different categories we’re going to be looking at this year to judge these hosts first is pricing obviously

This is super important because well you want to know how much you’re paying for the server and you want to make sure you’re not getting screwed over by overpaying on top of that we’re going to be looking at support more often than not Minecraft servers can be difficult

To host especially when you get into plugins and mods and things like that and it’s nice to have a resource to reach out to 24 7 that you can talk to about issues so with that support is something we’re going to be looking at and taking very seriously next up is

Hosting locations you want to make sure that you have a hosting location that’s relatively close to you because the easier it is to connect to the server the better and the closer the hosting location to you and where you live the better so how many hosting locations

Each of these hosts have is something we look at next up is Modpack supported I think modpacks are one of the best things that you can use in Minecraft server for playing mod packs with your friends is super fun and when click installation of mod packs is essentially

A must-have for a server host we’re gonna be looking at that today and last but not least is server Hardware price for Hardware is something that no one talks about that is very very important Minecraft servers rely more and more on CPUs in 2023 than in any

Other time in history it’s been getting more and more common over the past few years and now if you’re hosting a Minecraft server you need a good CPU we’re going to be talking about Hardware in this video and what exact Hardware these hosting companies have I say all

That to say this this video is in depth and we’re only covering three hosts this year but it’s still in depth we did actually cover more and you can find those in the description down below with an article on our website there’s two other options down there another budget

Option as well as an option that has a very unique back end that if you want a unique backend experience you can use they’re not featured on this list because in my opinion the top three are gonna serve 95 of people if you’re out there though and they don’t check out

That list in the description we’re also going to be adding in more hosts over the years I’ve tested about 15 hosts in the past year this is our top picks we’re going to be adding in a few more though that are um not super unique but are good options if you do want

Alternatives to the ones on this list and those will be added to the website over the next few months anyway let’s go ahead and jump into it like I said the best overall pick this year is Apex Minecraft hosting starting off with price and by the way I don’t care about

Sell prices with this we’re looking at what it would be with no sales no promotions most server hosts offer either money off your first month or some sort of other discount so an apex micro festing though without any discounts you’re paying 19.99 per month for a four gigabyte server on top of

That you have 24 hour Seven Day live chat support that when you do reach out to their chat support they do pull up a help guide sort of situation but it is super easy to just say I want to talk to a real person and then you’ll get a real

Person within seconds on top of all that Apex has 15 hosting locations and supports over 260 mod packs with one click installation pretty good on the list by no means the best but also not the worst they’re kind of top middle of the road as far as modpacks support it

The biggest thing though that Apex has over a lot of the other hosts here is actually their Hardware though for that 19.99 per month you’re getting the best hardware on the list that means you’re getting AMD ryzen 7 or ryzen 9 CPUs amazing single core performance on those

By the way which is what you need for a Minecraft server and on top of all that they strive to not over stuff their servers and create lag for people who are using them that’s something that is very very important and I know for a fact that Apex looks at the light on

Their servers daily and make sure that if there is a server that’s performing weird they look into why and solve it as quick as possible now all of this combines to create a Minecraft server host that is by far the best overall they have pre-made Skyblock servers faction servers mini game servers no

Other hosts on our list has this I’ve been looking nobody else has it and they have it one click installation for pre-made servers they also have automated daily backups free free DDOS protection and a seven day money back guarantee should you have any issues but overall Apex is the best they have a

Knowledge base that is the best out of anybody else on the list and there’s a reason time and time again they come up number one for us truthfully it’s amazing what Apex is able to do over the years of becoming the best overall host and being able to maintain that title

However they’re not the only host you should look at and number two on the list is nodecraft at nodecraft you will find great multi-pack support multi-mod pack support as well as multi-game support so if you don’t want to just host a Minecraft server let’s say for

Whatever reason you wanted to host a CS go server or another game that allows for third-party hosts and third-party servers you can do that at nodecraft while maintaining your Minecraft server and let’s say another Minecraft server with a modpack on it all at the same

Time now you can’t play on them all at the same time but that’s okay you can easily switch between them and that’s very very unique in regards to server hosting they call it saving Swap and it’s super easy to use you’re watching me do it between a vanilla server and a

Modpack server on your screen right now but let’s get down to the comparison points though as far as price goes you’re gonna be paying 19.98 per month for a four gigabyte server right in line with Apex the support however isn’t as good they’re only online for nine hours

A day seven days a week for a live chat so it’s every single day but it’s only nine hours a day specifically during the eastern time hours of 12 30 pm to 9pm that is probably peak hours from most servers but 24 hour support is such a

Big thing these days and it does suck that nocraft doesn’t have it as far as server locations they do have 22 locations around the world with a large presence in North America Europe and the Pacific Asian reasons meaning you’re going to get low latency kind of

Anywhere in the world you live which is nice to see Modpack supported is 200 plus I didn’t get an exact number for them but 200 plus seems to be right I did verify that there were over 200. other than that though it’s a very solid amount of modpacks and uh middle of the

Road if you will from what I’ve seen for hosts like Apex they have a seven day free trial but that that’s kind of where the comparisons end because unfortunately nodecraft is running very old Hardware in my opinion for the price that you’re paying so if you don’t have

Any interest of playing multiple servers multiple games on the same sort of server setup then I would go with another host on the list because that nodecraft you’re getting Intel Xenon processors this might not mean much to you but no it’s a server type of CPU that’s not great for gaming and running

Gaming servers on it on top of that these are older servers which means you’re kind of paying a premium price at 19.99 when you should be getting really good hardware for it but they’re not providing that and that does suck with that being said they do have an amazing

Um amazing saving swap feature where if you want to play multiple games you can’t really beat nodecraft so that’s where they shine if you want the ability to easily switch between multiple mod packs multiple games or multiple server instances with plugins for example nodecraft is the way to go otherwise

There are better hosts that you should check out one of which you might consider to be bisect hosting bisect hosting is our budget hosting option and at bisex you can get a four gigabyte server for 11.96 per month now that is the budget option there are a premium

Servers at bisect posting but there’s zero difference between the hardware you get on premium and budget servers so with that being said go with the budget option there’s really no reason to buy a premium server at bicep hosting in my opinion simply due to the fact that the

Hardware is exactly the same if there was a hardware difference that story may change but there’s not and unlike the rest of the host on this list let’s look at Hardware first because well it is something worth noting the Intel Xenon processors you’re getting here are server CPUs like with nodecraft and that

Means you’re getting lower in CPUs but that’s okay because you’re paying a lower end price you’re paying that budget Price Right which is again 11.96 per month for a four gigabyte server quite a deal so you’re okay with giving up a little bit of that hardware for

That budget price and that’s nice to see as far as Modpack support they say they support over a thousand and they do on their premium server there’s actually no one-click mod pack installation on the budget servers however if you want to run a mod pack you can install it

Yourself manually it takes a bit more you know time but you can do that support though is very impressive with all things considered as basic dosing has 24 hours a day seven day a week support with super quick response times you can see us contacting them here

About a simple issue and yes we do it and honestly so they don’t know it’s us and something else worth learning about support I’ve not seen any indication anywhere that they do different support for their premium and budget customers we’re recommending the budget price here I cannot stress that enough and so

Because of that I wanted to make sure that there was no differentiation from what I’ve seen there’s not I can’t confirm if there’s any back-end policies on that I’m not saying there is but I cannot confirm that but what I can confirm is publicly everything looks like everybody’s treated equal and from

My experience that has been the case so great job there and I love to see that now one more thing I want to mention about the budget plan at bisect hosting and then we’re kind of done with the video there’s only four hosting locations Yes you heard that right for the budget plan

You can only kind of select the general region that you want your server to be hosted in right so the four location options are Montreal New Jersey Amsterdam and France that’s it those are your only four locations that you have options to choose and well if one of

Those isn’t near you you might get a little more latency on your server you’ll probably still be able to play on it but it won’t be as lag free as for example me living in Daytona Beach Florida and having a Data Center in Miami Florida four hours away but in the

Internet terms that’s pretty close together and I can get great great connection times because of that however again you are paying such a budget price 11.96 a month for a four gigabyte server it kind of is worth it in my opinion nevertheless there you have it there’s

Our top list Apex overall with the best Modpack support best price for the hardware you’re getting amazing Hardware at Apex that’s what really makes them shine above everybody else because you’re getting a very fair price for the best hardware out there from there there you have nodecraft which is great if

You’re looking for multi-game or multi pack support and then last but not least we have bisect coasting with their budget plan getting a server for four gigabytes at 11.96 per month is a very very good deal so there you have it if you have any questions let us know in
