Our review

Analysis written by Valentin for Minecraft Hosts from the plans and information published by CloudNord, checked on October 9, 2026. This is not a hands-on test.

Verdict

CloudNord is a UK host founded in 2021 that sells Minecraft servers per GB of RAM, from 2 GB at 6.99 USD a month to 32 GB at 112.89 USD, about 3.50 USD per GB with VAT included where it applies. A Halloween code currently takes 15% off for life. Every location runs the same class of hardware, an AMD Ryzen 7 7700 or equivalent with DDR5, and a 2-hour free trial needs no card. The refund window is short: 3 days, with a valid reason.

Pricing and billing

RAM costs about 3.50 USD per GB a month, from 6.99 USD for 2 GB (Starter) to 28.19 USD for 8 GB (Pro) and 112.89 USD for 32 GB (Dedicated). The terms say prices include VAT where applicable. A Halloween sale with the code HALLOWEEN15 takes 15% off "for life", bringing 2 GB to 5.94 USD and 8 GB to 23.96 USD; no end date is shown. There are no setup fees, and no quarterly or annual price is displayed.

Performance

All 18 locations use the same class of node: an AMD Ryzen 7 7700 or equivalent (4,050 points single thread on PassMark), DDR5 RAM, NVMe storage and a 10 Gbps uplink. The core allocation per plan is not stated. Storage is unmetered with a 100 GiB soft cap that support raises on request. There is no enforced player cap; the cards suggest 1-5 players on 2 GB and 10-25 on 8 GB.

Minecraft features

The Java page covers Vanilla, Paper, Purpur, Forge, Fabric and NeoForge, custom JAR files and 1,200+ one-click modpacks from FTB, CurseForge, Technic, VoidsWrath, ATLauncher and Modrinth. Bedrock Edition and Java-Bedrock crossplay with Geyser are sold as separate products at the same prices. Servers include SFTP, automatic updates, daily backups kept 14 days, free migrations and the option to split RAM into a separate MariaDB, PostgreSQL or MongoDB server.

Support and guarantees

Tickets are answered around the clock, with a Discord community for general questions and a support reply time announced under 15 minutes. A free 2-hour trial requires no card, and the world carries over if you keep the server. Refunds are limited to 3 days after server creation and need a valid reason. The operator is CLOUD NORD LIMITED, registered in England and Wales and based in Manchester.
