Minecraft server hosting
on a VPS.
Enterprise SAS SSD-backed performance, DDoS protection on every IP, and the full root access you need to install Spigot, Paper, Fabric, Forge, Bedrock, or the server stack your community runs. From $3/mo, online in under 60 seconds.
Beyond the limits of "Minecraft hosts."
Dedicated Minecraft hosts are convenient until you want a plugin they don't support, a JVM flag they won't tune, or a mod loader they don't ship. A VPS gives you root access, predictable resources, and the freedom to run the server your community actually needs.
Run vanilla, Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Forge, Bedrock, or BungeeCord. Drop in any plugin from SpigotMC. Tune your JVM. Install Java 21. Run a Velocity proxy in front of three sub-servers. It's your machine.
Enterprise SAS SSD
Chunk loads and world saves run on Enterprise SAS SSD. Sub-ms latency means no stutter on render-distance changes.
DDoS protection
Always-on L3/L4 mitigation helps protect public game servers during attacks.
Full root
Install Java, mods, plugins, and custom JARs. Tune -XX:+UseG1GC, view distance, and startup flags directly.
Low latency
Tampa metro datacenter, 10 Gbps backbone, peering with major networks. Your players hit single-digit ping in-region.

Getting your Minecraft server online.
If you can copy-paste a few commands into a terminal, you can do this. Total time: ~10 minutes.
- A Pulsar67 VPS (Pulsar Starter for small servers, Pro for most communities)
- Ubuntu 22.04 or Debian 12 (we provide both as stock images)
- Java 17+ (Minecraft 1.20.5+ needs Java 21) -
apt install openjdk-21-jre-headless - The Minecraft server JAR (vanilla, Paper, Purpur, Fabric, or Forge - your call)
- A
screen,tmux, orsystemdwrapper to keep the server running after you log out - Port 25565 (Java) or 19132 (Bedrock) - open by default in our firewall
Built for the kind of workload Minecraft actually is.
Consistent CPU
No 64-to-1 overprovisioning. Your tick rate should not dip because a neighboring workload gets busy.
Snapshots
Take a snapshot before that risky mod update. Roll back in seconds if it eats your world.
Real support
If something breaks, engineers help you check logs, ports, and server configuration.
No surprise bills
What's on the pricing page is what shows up on your invoice. No "DDoS surcharge."
