One of the Cheapest Minecraft Hosts in Europe and North America
Most global hosts start at $2.99 to $5.00 per month minimum. Our MC Coal plan starts at €2.70/mo (€0.90/GB) - roughly ~$0.97/GB USD - running on the same high-frequency AMD Ryzen 9 hardware that powers our premium tier. We keep costs low by running lean infrastructure in our own leased Dutch datacenter, not by cutting corners on hardware.

Quick answer
Which Minecraft server should I start with?
If you only want to play survival with friends, start small. If you want mods, shaders, Geyser, or a public community, choose more RAM than the minimum. It is cheaper to start at the right size than to spend the first night chasing lag.
Small survival server
3 to 5 GB RAM is enough for a few friends on vanilla, Paper, or light plugins. Pick MC Coal or MC Iron.

Modded server or ATM10
Use 8 to 16 GB RAM for most modpacks. Forge, Fabric, NeoForge and Modrinth packs are normal workloads here.
ATM10 requirements
Java and Bedrock together
Use Java hosting with Geyser when your group has both PC and console or mobile players.

New: Budget CanadaNorth American players - we now have a budget node in Beauharnois, Quebec
Running on Intel Xeon E-2274G with 64 GB ECC DDR4, dual 960 GB NVMe RAID, and a 500 Mbps unmetered uplink. The E-2274G maxes out at around 4.7 GHz single-thread - the same clock range that Ryzen hits - and Minecraft measures single-thread, not core count. You get solid TPS at a budget price point, no compromise.
Order any plan and mention Canada in our site chat - we will provision on the budget Quebec node or our Ryzen 7 9700X node depending on your needs.

Our infrastructure is globally distributed. This gives you low latency to virtually every ISP in Western and Northern Europe.
Dutch players get under 5ms ping. Belgian players under 5-8ms. German players under 15ms. French players under 20ms. The UK under 25ms. Minecraft feels smooth under 40ms, so the entire Western European player base is well within range.

Support notes
Problems we can actually help fix
Most Minecraft hosting problems are not mysterious. They usually come down to world generation, wrong loader versions, JVM flags, or one bad machine in-game.
Lag after exploring
What you see: TPS is fine at spawn, then drops when players travel or generate new terrain.
What we check: Pre-generate with Chunky, lower view distance, and check biome/worldgen mods before buying more RAM.
Plan note: 8GB works for many SMPs. Heavy modpacks usually want 12GB+.
Modpack will not start
What you see: The console throws loader errors, missing dependencies, or a Java version warning.
What we check: Match Forge, Fabric, or NeoForge to the pack page. Then check Java 17 vs Java 21 before touching files.
Plan note: All plans can switch server type from the panel.
Too much RAM
What you see: The server has 16GB or 32GB assigned but still freezes every few minutes.
What we check: Use sane RAM limits and ZGC flags for modern modpacks. More heap can make pauses worse.
Plan note: 12GB tuned properly often beats 32GB with bad flags.
Automation lag
What you see: Create contraptions, AE2, Refined Storage, or chunk loaders tank performance when players are online.
What we check: Find the machine causing tick time, split giant storage networks, and limit always-loaded farms.
Plan note: Premium is the better call for Create-heavy or technical servers.

Send the log before ordering. We will tell you if you need more RAM, Premium, or just a config fix.

Tom V. 🇳🇱
Netherlands
“Been running ATM10 with 12 friends for 3 months. Zero crashes, TPS stays at 19.5+. Coming from Aternos felt like day and night. No queue, no sleeping server.”
Marcus R. 🇩🇪
Germany
“Support set up Generational ZGC flags with me and TPS went from 12 to 19.8. These guys actually know Minecraft, not just hosting.”
Sophie L. 🇧🇪
Belgium
“Cheapest NVMe hosting I found in Europe that is not oversold. My Fabric server with 30 mods loads chunks instantly. Solid value.”
James K. 🇨🇦
Canada
“Canada POP is great for our NA group. 25ms from Toronto. Only 4 stars because I would love more NA regions, but performance is excellent.”
Luuk D. 🇳🇱
Netherlands
“Switched from a big-name host after they oversold their nodes. Space-Node keeps it steady during peak hours.”
Emma W. 🇬🇧

Why Budget NVMe Storage Matters - Minecraft Modpack RAM Requirements Guide
| Modpack | Min RAM | Rec. (20+p) | Plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATM10 | 12GB | 16-32GB | Special 1-4 |
| Better MC | 8-10GB | 12-16GB | Diamond+ |
| FTB / SkyFactory | 6-8GB | 10-12GB | Lapis+ |
| Vault Hunters | 6-8GB | 10-12GB | Diamond |
| Vanilla + Plugins | 3-4GB | 5-6GB | Coal/Iron |
Start conservative and upgrade if you hit TPS drops. Newer MC versions need more RAM. Consider Premium for 1.21+ with modpacks.
