What to check before renting a Minecraft server

  • How much RAM the plan includes, and how many players or mods it is sold for.
  • Whether a discount applies to the first billing period only, and what the plan costs on renewal.
  • Server locations near your players.
  • Whether backups, a dedicated IP or modpack installs cost extra.
  • The refund window and how to cancel.

How we check codes

We publish a promo code only after entering it at the host's own checkout and seeing the discount applied. Each code page shows the discount we saw, the plan we tested it on and the date. Reviews and comparisons are based on each host's published plans, prices and policies, read on a stated date.
