Your Minecraft server on dedicated bare metal.
Hostvault runs each server on a physical AMD Ryzen machine with the RAM, CPU threads and storage your plan lists. Set it up in minutes and run it from one dashboard: console, files, players, backups and databases.
Free to create an account — no card or bank details required. Nothing is charged until you set up a server.
See it in action
Animated preview of the Hostvault dashboard in four chapters: creating a Paper Minecraft server in the four-step wizard and watching its console come online; renaming and restarting it and inviting a sub-user with chosen permissions; browsing server files, uploading a plugin, and creating a MySQL database; and configuring the server — turning the whitelist on and approving a player.
What every server includes.
Dedicated bare-metal hardware
A physical AMD Ryzen machine, not a shared virtual server, with the RAM and vCPU threads your plan lists.
One dashboard for everything
Start, stop and restart. Watch the live console. Edit files, manage players and change settings from your browser.
Off-site backups
Take a backup from the dashboard and restore any of them in one click. Backups are stored away from the machine your server runs on.
MySQL databases included
For plugins that need one, such as LuckPerms or CoreProtect. 1 to 5 databases depending on your plan, at no extra cost.
Share access
Invite friends or staff and choose what each of them can do. 3 to 25 sub-users depending on your plan.
DDoS protection
Always-on L3/L4 DDoS protection on every node, included with every plan.
From sign-up to a running server in three steps.
Create a free account
No card details required. Nothing is charged until you set up a server.
Pick a plan and a server type
Choose the RAM and storage you need, then a server type such as Paper, Fabric, Forge or Vanilla. Checkout happens at this step, through Stripe.
Your server comes online
Provisioning runs on its own. From then on you manage the server from the dashboard: console, files, players, backups and databases.
We publish our hardware. Most hosts won't.
Minecraft performance depends on single-thread speed, so we buy the CPUs that top gaming benchmarks. Every region lists the exact chip it runs. Pick the one closest to your players.
