Minecraft server prices per size
The table shows the Performance line, the only line in Germany and Poland, on an AMD Ryzen 9. The first price column is the welcome price you see on the plan cards: 50% off a new customer's first 6 months in Poland. The other columns are the regular prices per term in Poland; in Germany the same line costs more, see Minecraft hosting in Germany. Each first amount links to the order page for that size.
| Plan | Memory and CPU | First 6 months, new customer | 24 months | 12 months | 6 months | Month to month |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Camp | 2 GB, 1 vCPU | €3.71 | €3.71 | €3.96 | €4.20 | €4.95 |
 Mini | 4 GB, 2 vCPU | €3.18 | €4.77 | €5.09 | €5.40 | €6.36 |
 Starter | 8 GB, 2 vCPU | €6.38 | €9.57 | €10.21 | €10.84 | €12.76 |
 Standard | 12 GB, 3 vCPU | €9.58 | €14.37 | €15.33 | €16.28 | €19.16 |
 Premium | 24 GB, 4 vCPU | €18.78 | €28.17 | €30.05 | €31.92 | €37.56 |
 Ultimate | 48 GB, 6 vCPU | €37.58 | €56.37 | €60.13 | €63.88 | €75.16 |
 Dedicated | 96 GB, 9 vCPU | €75.18 | €112.77 | €120.29 | €127.80 | €150.36 |
Prices per month in euros, on the Performance line in Poland. Camp has no Performance line, so its first column is its own 24 month price, the same as on its card. On a 6, 12 or 24 month term a new customer gets 50% off the whole term in Poland and 40% in Germany.
Take Starter in Poland as an example: paying month to month instead of committing for 24 months adds up to €76.56 over those two years. On Camp the gap is €29.76. If you are not sure the server will still be running next summer, month to month keeps the commitment to a single month.
The Performance line: faster CPU, higher price
The Standard line, on a shared server processor with SSD, runs only in the United Kingdom and the US, with a small monthly surcharge. Germany and Poland run the Performance line: an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X in Germany or an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X with DDR5 in Warsaw, both on Enterprise NVMe. Minecraft does most of its work on one thread, so a faster core shows up as smoother ticks on busy survival worlds and heavy modpacks. Without the welcome price it costs more from Starter up:
| Plan | Memory and CPU | Standard line, UK and US, a month | Performance line, a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | 4 GB, 2 vCPU | €7.95 plus surcharge | €6.36 in Poland or €8.75 in Germany, or €3.18 for a new customer's first 6 months in Poland |
| Starter | 8 GB, 2 vCPU | €12.95 plus surcharge | €12.76 in Poland or €17.55 in Germany, or €6.38 for a new customer's first 6 months in Poland |
| Standard | 12 GB, 3 vCPU | €16.95 plus surcharge | €19.16 in Poland or €26.35 in Germany, or €9.58 for a new customer's first 6 months in Poland |
| Premium | 24 GB, 4 vCPU | €23.95 plus surcharge | €37.56 in Poland or €51.65 in Germany, or €18.78 for a new customer's first 6 months in Poland |
| Ultimate | 48 GB, 6 vCPU | €46.95 plus surcharge | €75.16 in Poland or €103.35 in Germany, or €37.58 for a new customer's first 6 months in Poland |
| Dedicated | 96 GB, 9 vCPU | €93.95 plus surcharge | €150.36 in Poland or €206.75 in Germany, or €75.18 for a new customer's first 6 months in Poland |
Camp has no Performance line, so it is not offered in Poland; in Germany it runs on the Performance machine at its own price.
Poland has no location surcharge and a lower price than Germany on the same line, and a new customer gets 50% off the first 6 months in Warsaw against 40% in Germany. Minecraft hosting in Poland has the delivery times and the rest of the details.
What makes a Minecraft server cost more
- Memory. The biggest factor. A vanilla world for a few friends runs on 2 to 4 GB, a large modpack wants 12 GB or more. How much RAM a server needs helps you pick without guessing.
- The location. Poland gives a new customer 50% off and Germany 40%, both on the Performance line with a Ryzen 5900X or 7950X. The United Kingdom and the US run the Standard line on a shared server processor, with a small surcharge.
- The term. 24 months is the lowest monthly price, month to month the highest. 12 and 6 months sit in between.
- Bedrock players. A Crossplay plan runs Java and Bedrock together and costs €2.00 a month more than the Java plan of the same size.
Player count is missing from that list on purpose. Ten friends building one base use less than four players exploring in four directions, so the number of players tells you little on its own.
What it costs per player
Plenty of groups share the bill. Mini with 4 GB at €6.36 a month in Poland comes to €1.27 each for five friends, or €0.64 each in a new customer's first 6 months there. Starter with 8 GB for a group of ten is €1.28 each. One person pays the invoice, and the others can get their own access to the panel through staff access without sharing a password.
What is in the price, and what is not
Every plan comes with the same tools, with no add-on to pay for:
- An address your friends type without a port number
- A console and a file manager in the browser
- One click installs for plugins and modpacks
- Help moving your world over from another host
A free website for your server comes with the plans from 8 GB up: Starter, Standard, Premium, Ultimate, Dedicated, Titan. Hosting is not refundable, so cancelling stops the next payment and the server runs until the end of the period you paid for. The full list of what the panel does is on features.
What a Minecraft server at home costs
The server software itself is free. Mojang offers the Java server as a download, and Paper, Fabric and Forge cost nothing either. On your own PC you pay in other ways: the electricity of a computer that has to stay on whenever someone wants to play, a router port opened to the internet, your home IP address in the hands of every player, and your upload speed shared with everything else in the house.
For a weekend with friends who are online at the same time, that is often fine. For a world people join whenever they like, it is usually cheaper in hassle to rent. A free Minecraft server at home or a hosted one walks through both.
