Why host a Minecraft server on a VPS?

  • Host games with friends

    If you plan to deploy a Minecraft server to host games with friends, you might ask yourself: why choose a VPS Server over a Dedicated Server (aka bare-metal)? The VPS advantage is flexibility brought by virtualization. On a VPS server you can change the amount of CPU, RAM, and disk storage allocated in just a few minutes without migrating servers as you would on a dedicated server.

  • No contractual obligation

    On top of that, Gandi VPS Servers are less expensive than a dedicated server and don't require any contractual obligation. You can host your Minecraft server for a month — or less.

  • Total control

    You'll have total control on your servers: you decide which version of Minecraft — and which plugins (Spigot, Paper, Forge, Fabric and many more) — that you wish to install.

Choose the right setup for your Minecraft VPS server

A good option to start with is a VPS with a minimum of 4 GB of RAM, recommended for a 5-player online game. If that's not enough, it's easy to upgrade your setup to up to 4 CPU and 8 GB of RAM. Our payment system is very flexible, so you can also just create a VPS for a month or even a few days. Or you can, of course, keep your VPS server for years, too, if you want :)
