Space-Node hosting

Space-Node is a hosting company from the Netherlands. Most of what we do is game servers: Minecraft, FiveM, Rust and a long list of other games, in nine regions across Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. Next to that we run a 24/7 streaming VPS with OBS and Discord bot hosting. Game servers run on AMD Ryzen 9 and AMD EPYC hardware with NVMe storage, and DDoS protection is included on every plan.

Where the servers are

Game servers run in the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Canada, the USA (California and Virginia), Singapore, India (Mumbai) and Australia. Not every game is sold in every region, so check the region list on the page of your game. Checkout always bills in EUR; the other currencies you see on the site are approximate conversions.

The hardware follows the region:

RegionHardwareDDoS protection
Netherlands, Germany, Poland, CanadaStandard: Ryzen 9 3900X-class with DDR4; Minecraft Standard in the Netherlands, Germany and Poland: AMD EPYC 7443 with DDR4. Premium: Ryzen 9 9950X with DDR5Cloudflare Magic Transit on Premium, standard protection on Standard
USA (California and Virginia)Standard: Ryzen 9 7950X3D with DDR5. Minecraft Premium: Ryzen 9 9950X with DDR5Cloudflare Magic Transit
Australia (Sydney)Ryzen 9 5950X with DDR4, Standard and Minecraft PremiumStandard protection
SingaporeRyzen 9 5950X with DDR4, one tierStandard protection
India (Mumbai)Ryzen 9 3900X-class with DDR4 (our Standard hardware), one tierStandard protection

The choice between Standard and Premium only exists in the first row, and which of the two you can order there depends on the game. Minecraft Standard in the Netherlands, Germany and Poland runs on the AMD EPYC 7443; on the other Standard plans the exact CPU can vary between similar Ryzen models, and Premium runs on a 9950X. On every game server plan the CPU is shared with the other servers on the node; Minecraft Premium gets 600 to 800% CPU (6 to 8 vCores) under fair use. FiveM is the exception to the tier story: in Europe every FiveM plan runs on the Premium hardware.

Why the Netherlands?

The Netherlands is home base. It is a strong location for players in the EU and UK, with short routes toward Germany, Belgium, France and Scandinavia and good connectivity to AMS-IX. If most of your players live further away, one of the other regions will usually serve them better.

Frequently Asked Questions

"Is Space-Node only for Minecraft?"

No. Minecraft is a large part of what we do, but we also host FiveM, Rust and many other games, and we sell a 24/7 streaming VPS and Discord bot plans. Standard VPS starts at €4.99 a month and Premium VPS (Ryzen 9 9950X) at €4.20 a month, both in an EU data center.

"Where do I order?"

Use the product pages linked above or the client area at client.space-node.net.

"Do you have support?"

Yes. Live chat and Discord are staffed every day from 08:00 to 20:00 UTC, and live chat is usually answered within minutes in those hours. The contact page also lists email.

What Space-Node is

Space-Node is a small hosting company from the Netherlands. We focus on three workloads:

  1. Game servers: Minecraft, FiveM, Rust, ARK, Palworld and other games where a steady tick rate matters.
  2. 24/7 streaming: a Windows VPS that keeps OBS running around the clock, so the stream doesn't depend on a PC at home.
  3. Small always-on jobs such as Discord bots, and general VPS.

We configure the panels and answer the tickets ourselves. Being small has a trade-off: nine regions instead of fifty, and no enterprise SLAs.

What we host well

  • Minecraft: Vanilla, Paper, Purpur, Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, and modpacks on plans up to 32 GB RAM.
  • FiveM: txAdmin-managed servers with QBCore or ESX and their databases.
  • 24/7 streams: OBS on a Windows VPS, sending to YouTube, Twitch or Kick, or relaying one stream to several platforms at once.
  • VPS: Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux (ask support first if you need Windows).

What we don't host

  • Adult content of any kind.
  • Cryptomining.
  • Mass-mail / SMTP without proven sender reputation.
  • High-frequency trading platforms (latency requirements we can't meet).
  • Anything else our terms of service rule out.

Pricing approach

We're not the cheapest game host, and we don't try to be. Prices follow the hardware in each region: Minecraft starts at €0.90 per GB of RAM, so a 3GB server is €2.70 a month, and FiveM starts at €3.99. You pay in EUR at checkout.

In return: live chat that is usually answered within minutes during support hours (every day, 08:00 to 20:00 UTC), tickets that are typically handled within a few hours, and people who can fix things themselves instead of escalating them.

Where to start

  • The homepage lists our main products with current prices, and other games has the rest.
  • Contact has live chat, Discord and email.
  • Our Discord community is where people help each other and where we chat about what we're working on.
  • Tickets go through the client area, for billing and technical support.

Where Space-Node is the wrong fit

  • You need a server in South America, Africa, the Middle East or East Asia. We have no location there.
  • You need the cheapest possible plan.
  • You need a VPS in the Netherlands. Standard and Premium VPS both run elsewhere in the EU.
  • You need 99.99 % SLAs in writing.

For those, larger or specialized providers are a better match.
