Our review
Analysis written by Valentin for Minecraft Hosts from the plans and information published by SimpleGameHosting, checked on October 9, 2026. This is not a hands-on test.
Verdict
SimpleGameHosting is a Florida-based host that sells Minecraft servers from 2 GB at 9.99 USD a month to 16 GB at 57.99 USD, with the first month 25% off. At about 5.00 USD per GB on the small plans it is one of the more expensive options, in exchange for an all-included package: 10 backups, live chat and a large choice of server software. The hardware varies a lot between locations, from a Ryzen 7 3800X to a Ryzen 9 7950X, and no CPU is tied to a plan.

Java and Bedrock, with Paper, Purpur, Forge, NeoForge and Fabric

Best for
Beginners who want help by live chat: it is included on every plan
Players who switch software often: Paper, Purpur, Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, Bedrock and modpacks at checkout
Owners who want backups without add-ons: 10 backups per server
Less suited if
You compare price per GB: about 5.00 USD per GB up to 10 GB
You want a guaranteed recent CPU: older Ryzen 3000 and 5000 nodes remain at several locations
You want a discount beyond 3 months: no semi-annual or annual billing
Pricing and billing
The six Minecraft plans cost 9.99 USD (2 GB), 19.99 USD (4 GB), 29.99 USD (6 GB), 39.99 USD (8 GB), 49.99 USD (10 GB) and 57.99 USD (16 GB) a month. That is 5.00 USD per GB up to 10 GB and 3.62 USD per GB for 16 GB. The first month is 25% off (7.49 USD for 2 GB), and quarterly billing takes 10% off (26.97 USD for 3 months on 2 GB). There is no longer billing cycle and no statement on VAT. The site insists there are no paid add-ons for features.
Performance
No CPU is tied to a plan. The help center lists the hardware per location, and it is uneven: Miami, Dallas, San Jose and Amsterdam have Ryzen 9 7950X nodes (4,252 points single thread on PassMark), but Hillsboro, Gravelines and Warsaw still run Ryzen 7 3800X and 5800X machines, and Arlington mixes Ryzen 5 5600X with Intel Xeon E-2288G and E-2388G. Some nodes use NVMe, others SATA SSDs. Storage is unlimited for files needed to run the server.
Minecraft features
Java and Bedrock are both available, chosen at checkout. Vanilla, Paper, Purpur, Spigot, Forge, NeoForge and Fabric are in the order form, and the FAQ adds Sponge, BungeeCord, Waterfall, Velocity, Mohist and Magma. A one-click installer covers modpacks from CurseForge, FTB, Modrinth and VoidsWrath. Each server gets 10 backups, a free subdomain, sub-users and instance switching between supported games. Eleven locations are offered, including Arlington, Gravelines, Warsaw, Sydney and Singapore.
Support and guarantees
Support runs through live chat, tickets and email; hours are not published. The refund policy gives 7 days from purchase, excluding one-time purchases and add-ons. There is no free trial. The operator is Simple Game Hosting LLC, based in Florida. The site discloses that it is partly owned by the owners of TheBreakdown.xyz, a site and YouTube channel that publishes Minecraft guides and hosting reviews.
