Our review

Analysis written by Valentin for Minecraft Hosts from the plans and information published by Serverminer, checked on October 10, 2026. This is not a hands-on test.

Verdict

Serverminer is a UK Minecraft host running since 2012 that sells seven Java packages, from 1.5 GB with 15 player slots at 7.58 USD a month to 10 GB with 100 slots at 47.74 USD. At about 4.80 to 5.05 USD per GB it is expensive, and each plan caps the number of players. Its own SMpicnic panel and one-click installs for 50,000+ modpacks are the strong points; hardware, storage and refunds are only vaguely described.

Pros

  • In business since 2012
  • One-click installs for 50,000+ modpacks, including Technic and ATLauncher
  • World rollback up to 7 days in one click
  • Prices in USD, GBP or EUR
  • Discounts of about 10% (3 months) and 15% (6 months)

Limitations

  • About 5.00 USD per GB
  • Player slots capped per plan (15 to 100)
  • No CPU model, storage contradictory (unlimited vs 50 GB fair use)
  • Refund only if the service is at fault within 72 hours
  • Bedrock Edition, Paper and Fabric not mentioned

Best for

  • Modded players who use older launchers: Technic, FTB, CurseForge and ATLauncher packs install in one click
  • Owners who want player statistics: the panel tracks connections, playtime and player locations
  • Players billed in GBP or EUR: both currencies are offered

Less suited if

  • You compare price per GB: about 5.00 USD per GB
  • You expect many players on a small plan: slots are capped from 15 to 100
  • You want Bedrock Edition or a clear refund policy: neither is stated

Pricing and billing

Monthly prices go from 7.58 USD for Stone (1.5 GB) to 47.74 USD for the 10 GB plan confusingly named Bedrock, which is 4.77 to 5.05 USD per GB. Paying 3 months ahead saves about 10% and 6 months about 15% (Stone: 38.65 USD for 6 months, 6.44 USD a month). There is no annual billing. Prices are also shown in GBP and EUR depending on your location, and no page says whether VAT is included. The page description mentions a 5.08 USD price that does not appear in the order data.

Performance

The FAQ describes "High Clocked (4 - 5GHz) Intel and Ryzen CPUs", NVMe drives and a 500 Mb/s or 1 Gb/s network card, without naming a model or a core allocation. Storage is advertised as unlimited world size on the home page, but the FAQ mentions a fair use limit of roughly 50 GB. Each package has a fixed player cap, from 15 slots on Stone to 100 on the 10 GB plan.

Minecraft features

Servers run on SMpicnic, Serverminer's own panel, with a one-click version and modpack installer (Technic, FTB, CurseForge, ATLauncher), a plugin installer with over 20,000 plugins, a player tracker and one-click world rollback up to 7 days back. Forge is supported; Fabric, NeoForge, Paper and Bedrock Edition are not mentioned. A free 10-slot Mumble server and a MySQL database are included. Nine locations are offered: Los Angeles, New York, Texas, Utah, Montreal, Germany, Finland, Singapore and Sydney.

Support and guarantees

Support goes through tickets, with a community Discord for questions; hours are not published. The terms only promise a full refund if the service is proven to be at fault within 72 hours of purchase, and there is no free trial. Backups are taken every 24 hours, but the terms say they are complimentary and not guaranteed. The operator is Serverminer Limited, registered in England since 2012.

USD prices are recorded: Stone (1.5 GB, 15 players) 7.58 USD to Bedrock (10 GB, 100 players) 47.74 USD per month. The plan named "Bedrock" is the largest Java package, not a Bedrock Edition offer.
  • Billing cycles: monthly, 3 months and 6 months. The 3-month totals are about 10% below three monthly payments (Stone: 20.46 USD instead of 22.74 USD) and the 6-month totals about 15% below (38.65 USD instead of 45.48 USD). No annual billing.
  • The page description says "for as little as $5.08", which matches no price found in the order data (lowest monthly equivalent: 6.44 USD for Stone on 6 months). Not recorded.

  • Hardware: the FAQ only states "High Clocked (4 - 5GHz) Intel and Ryzen CPUs", 4 x 16384 MB RAM sticks, NVMe drives and a 500 Mb/s or 1 Gb/s network card. CPU recorded as written; no model and no core count.
  • Storage: the home page advertises "Unlimited world size", but the FAQ mentions a fair use policy of "roughly 50GB". Recorded value: not stated. Each plan has a fixed player slot count (15 to 100).
  • Locations offered in the order form: Los Angeles, New York, Sydney, Texas, Montreal, Germany, Finland, Singapore and Utah. No city is given for Texas, Germany, Finland and Utah.
