Updated September 22, 2026
About the site
Is Minecraft Hosts free to use?
Yes. The comparator, the provider pages and the guides are free, and you do not need an account. You never pay us anything: when you choose a host, you buy directly from that provider on its own website.
How is the list sorted?
By default, the comparator is sorted by ascending price. You can also sort by price (high to low), most RAM, most players, price per GB or recently verified. There is no score and no ranking based on our opinion. How prices are compared (monthly price without commitment, promotions shown separately) is explained on the methodology page.
Are the providers on the site real?
Yes. The site lists real hosting providers. Their data is taken from their official public pages, and each profile shows a source link and a verification date. Information a provider does not publish is shown as "Not disclosed". When we find inconsistencies on a provider's own site, they are listed in the "Notes on the data" section of its profile.
How often is the data updated?
Data is checked against each provider's official pages, and every provider and plan shows its own "Last verified" date. That date tells you exactly how recent the information is. Prices and specifications can change at any time, so always confirm on the provider's site before buying.
Money and independence
Do you use affiliate links?
Some outbound links may be affiliate links. They are marked "Affiliate link", and we may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. Commissions never influence which providers are listed, the filters or the sort order. See our affiliate disclosure.
How can a hosting provider get listed?
Send a request by email through the contact page, with links to your public pricing and plan pages. Listing is free and never depends on an affiliate agreement.
Is Minecraft Hosts affiliated with Mojang or Microsoft?
No. Minecraft Hosts is an independent site and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Mojang Studios or Microsoft. Minecraft is a trademark of Mojang Synergies AB.
What should I do if I find an error?
Tell us through the contact page. Mention the provider and the data point concerned and, if possible, a link to the official page that shows the correct information.
