Minecraft server hosting that just works.
Vanilla boots in seconds. Modpacks install automatically on first boot. Every server ships with dedicated RAM, a free short domain, DDoS protection, daily backups, and a panel built for playing not babysitting.
One-click modpacks
Browse Modrinth and CurseForge directly from checkout. ATM10, Better MC, Create: Astral, RLCraft - they install themselves on first boot and surface live progress in your dashboard.
SRV record included
Your address is just `yourname.hostd.it` - no port. Minecraft clients auto-resolve the SRV record. Heavy (10 GB) and Extreme (14 GB) get the shorter hostd.it; Vanilla and Modded get hostdservers.com. Either way, it's free.
Live world map, one click
Enable it from the dashboard and your world appears as a live top-down map that updates as players roam. Share it with a single link, and Hostd handles the plugin and config for you.
How much RAM do you need?
Minecraft is single-threaded.
Clock speed is the only number that matters.
The game loop - TPS, redstone, mob AI, chunk generation - runs on a single core. A 5.5 GHz core finishes each tick in time; a 3.2 GHz core doesn't, and lag is what you get. More RAM can't fix this. More cores can't fix this. Only clock speed does.
Tick budget: 50ms. Room to spare.
Tick budget blown. Players see rubber-banding, broken redstone, delayed mob damage.
Numbers illustrate typical load behaviour. Your server's TPS dashboard is in the panel.

Paste a log or a crash report. We read it line by line and name the mod, the flag or the chunk that is costing you ticks. No account, no upsell, and often the answer is that your pack needs fixing rather than a bigger plan.
Frequently asked
How much RAM do I need for a Minecraft Java server?
Vanilla with up to 10 players is happy on our Vanilla (3 GB) tier. Light modpacks and Paper/Spigot with a plugin stack want Modded (6 GB). Popular kitchen-sink packs like ATM10, Better MC, FTB Skies and RLCraft want Heavy (10 GB) at minimum. Pick Extreme (14 GB) for heavy packs with 10+ active players or the biggest tech packs (Gregtech: New Horizons, large modded networks). Whichever tier you pick, the RAM is dedicated and guaranteed: hard-reserved at the kernel and never shared, so a busy node can't eat into your allocation.
Do you support modpacks from CurseForge and Modrinth?
Yes - both. You can pick a pack at checkout and it installs automatically on first boot, or install one later from the dashboard. We support pinned versions too, so you can stay on a specific pack release if you prefer.
Can I install individual mods and plugins?
Yes. The Mods & Plugins tab in the server dashboard searches Modrinth (mods) and Spigot (plugins) and installs the JAR in one click. Restart the server to load.
Do I get a free domain for my server?
Every Minecraft Java server gets a free subdomain with an SRV record pre-configured. Clients connect to just `yourname.hostd.it` - no port. Heavy (10 GB) and Extreme (14 GB) get the shorter `.it` domain; Vanilla (3 GB) and Modded (6 GB) get `.hostdservers.com`.
How fast is provisioning?
Vanilla servers boot in under 60 seconds after payment. Modded servers install the pack on first boot - typically 1-5 minutes depending on the pack size - with live progress in your dashboard.
Can I bring my Minecraft Java world from another host?
Yes. Zip or tar.gz your existing /data - world folder, server.properties, mods, plugins, eula.txt - and upload through the Transfer step at checkout (new server) or the Transfer tab in your dashboard (existing server). Imports scale with your plan (up to 80% of its disk), uploaded directly or fetched from a Dropbox or Google Drive link. We snapshot the volume first and auto-rollback if the unpack or restart fails. See /transfer for details.
