Gamers love hosting with us

Rated “Great” on Trustpilot. Here's what customers say.

“Prices are super competitive — ease of use is great too. Highly customizable servers, but it's the service that truly sets them apart. I've used competitors like Bisect or Nitrado and none of them come anywhere close to the quality you get with Wither.”

“I was figuring out how to run a modded Java server for me and my siblings and these guys were very easy to work with. Great customer service! Would highly recommend to anyone trying to run a Minecraft server.”

Garrett Goss · Oct 14, 2025

“I've used WitherHosting for every server I've ever hosted. They're cheap, always easy to use and the staff are always helpful.”

FAQ

Minecraft hosting FAQ

Questions that are asked… frequently. Still stuck? Our team is on Discord 24/7.

How much RAM do I need for a Minecraft server?

For vanilla Minecraft with a few friends, 2–3GB is plenty. A plugin SMP usually runs well on 4–6GB, most modpacks want 8GB, and heavy modpacks or large communities should start at 10–12GB. You can upgrade at any time as your server grows.

Is there a player limit?

No. Every plan has unlimited player slots — the only practical limit is how much RAM and CPU your world needs.

Can I install modpacks and plugins?

Yes. WitherPanel has one-click installs for 12,000+ CurseForge and Modrinth modpacks, and you can upload any plugins, mods or a custom server JAR yourself.

Can I bring my existing world?

Yes. Upload your world folder through WitherPanel and point your server at it — or ask our support team on Discord and we'll help you move it.

Will my Minecraft server go to sleep when nobody is online?

Never. All servers run 24/7 and are never shut down for inactivity, so your friends can join whenever they like.

Do I get a free server address?

Yes. Every server can use a free yourname.wither.host subdomain, so players never need to remember an IP and port.

Which location should I pick?

Use the live ping test on this page — it measures your connection to all 5 of our datacenters and highlights the fastest. Every location costs the same.
