Frequently asked questions

Can Bedrock players (mobile/console) join my server?

Geyser + Floodgate are configured on supported Paper/Bukkit stacks. Forge, Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt modpacks with client-required mods are not generally compatible with Bedrock clients.

How do my friends connect?

You get a custom subdomain like my-server.game-serverhosting.com. Java players simply enter the subdomain (no port needed thanks to the SRV record). Bedrock players use the same address with the Bedrock port.

How much RAM does a Minecraft server need?

For Vanilla/Paper servers: 2 GB for 1–5 players, 4 GB for 5–15 players. Add 1–2 GB extra for plugins. Modpacks like FTB or ATM need at least 6–8 GB; large modpacks 12–16 GB.

Can I switch server type later?

You can switch server type. Create a backup first and check world, plugin and mod compatibility; switching between Java and Bedrock world formats requires controlled conversion.

How do I enable the whitelist on my Minecraft server?

Enable the whitelist via the server console with `/whitelist on`. Add players with `/whitelist add PlayerName`. With Paper or Spigot you can also manage the whitelist in the dashboard under server settings — changes apply immediately without a restart.

How long does Minecraft server installation take?

Typical initial setup: about 3 minutes. Queues or large installations can take longer. Vanilla and Paper servers start the fastest. Forge modpacks with many mods may take 3–5 minutes as all mod files need to be downloaded first.

Can I upload my existing world?

Yes — directly in the web interface, no FTP and no support ticket needed. In the Server Hub, open Game settings → Worlds, upload your Java world folder as a .zip or .tar.gz and pick a name for the new world. The archive must contain a valid Java world (level.dat). After the upload, restart the server once so the new world becomes active.

Can I use Simple Voice Chat on my Minecraft server?

Yes, on compatible Minecraft Java setups. Install Simple Voice Chat on the server and for every player who wants to use voice chat. Our assistant assigns a dedicated UDP port and manages the essential server settings in the dashboard.

Do I get my own subdomain?

Yes. Every server includes a subdomain like my-server.game-serverhosting.com, and you can change it anytime in the dashboard.

What are the free extras?

Every server can enable free add-ons such as Uptime Kuma, Sinusbot, Game Server Watcher, and more with one click in the dashboard.

How quickly is my server online?

Typical initial setup: about 3 minutes. Queues or large installations can take longer.

Is there a minimum contract term?

There is no long-term minimum. Billing is a monthly subscription and automatic renewal can be disabled. Longer terms may qualify for discounts.

Are the servers located in Germany?

Yes. All game servers run in German data centres (Falkenstein and Limburg) connected to the major German exchanges — low pings for players across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and solid latency for the rest of Europe.

Which provider is best for my server?

The best provider is the one that shows you what you get before you pay: RAM, slots, location, price and cancellation terms. Here the price and resources are visible in the configurator before checkout, there is no minimum term and setup is automated — feel free to compare that with other offers.

Should I host the server myself or rent one?

Self-hosting costs power, time and a machine that runs around the clock; port forwarding, updates and backups are on you. A rented server is online within minutes, keeps running when your PC is off, and updates, DDoS protection and backups are included. For one or two friends on a single evening self-hosting is often fine — for a persistent world, renting pays off.
