California or Virginia
Both locations run the same hardware at the same price, so pick the one closest to most of your players. Distance on the map is a good first guide; the ping check in the plan selector shows what your own connection gets.
USA (California)
San Jose, on the West Coast
On the map this is the closest of our locations for the West Coast and the Mountain states, and for Hawaii, Alaska and most of Mexico. The plan selector on this page starts here.
USA (Virginia)
Ashburn, on the East Coast
On the map this is the closest of our locations for most of the East Coast, the Midwest and the South. Pick USA (Virginia) in the plan selector for an East Coast server.
Ordering for Virginia
At checkout California and Virginia share one product per plan, called USA (California, Virginia), so the order itself does not say which coast you picked. Tell us in live chat that you want Virginia when you order. Moving a server between our locations is free, about once a week.
Players in New England are closer on the map to our Canada location near Montreal, which costs the European Standard price, from €2.70 a month. Our East or West Coast guide helps when your group is spread across the country.
Every USA plan
Monthly prices in euros, the same in California and Virginia and the same as in the plan selector above. Quarterly, half-yearly and yearly billing cost less per month at checkout.

What every plan includes

Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and popular modpacks like Cobblemon install from the panel. Or upload your own files over SFTP.
Geyser and voice chat ports
Extra UDP ports for Geyser or Simple Voice Chat are free. Create them in the panel, 3 included and up to 5 on request.
Free subdomain
Your friends join on an easy address instead of an IP and port.
Check your own ping before you order
We do not quote ping figures, because yours depends on your city, your internet provider and whether you play on Wi-Fi or a cable. The plan selector above measures your ping to California, Virginia and our other regions live from your own browser. A browser check is not exactly the same as in-game ping, but it shows clearly which location is closer for you.
Support hours in US time
Our team answers live chat, Discord and email every day from 08:00 to 20:00 UTC, and monitoring runs around the clock. During daylight saving time that is 04:00 to 16:00 in New York and 01:00 to 13:00 in Los Angeles. From Sunday 1 November 2026, when the clocks go back, it is 03:00 to 15:00 and 00:00 to 12:00, until daylight saving time starts again on 14 March 2027. A message sent on a US evening waits until the team is back.

USA Minecraft Hosting FAQ
- Standard starts at €3.00 a month for 3 GB RAM and 40 GB NVMe, which is €1.00 per GB of RAM on every size up to 16 GB: 8 GB costs €8.00 and 16 GB €16.00. The 32 GB plan is €33.19. Premium starts at €5.55 for 3 GB and costs €14.79 for 8 GB. Checkout and invoices are in euros; the plan selector can show an approximate US dollar amount, and your card provider converts at its own rate.
- Yes. Both locations have the same plans, the same hardware and the same prices, so the choice is only about where your players are.
- Pick the coast where most of your players live: California for the West Coast and the Mountain states, Virginia for most of the East Coast, the Midwest and the South. If your group is spread across the country, ask a few players on each side to open the plan selector and compare their ping to both, then choose what works for most of them. In New England our Canada location near Montreal is closer on the map, so compare that one too. Our East or West Coast guide has more detail.
- Pick USA (Virginia) in the plan selector on this page, which starts on California. At checkout California and Virginia share one product per plan, called USA (California, Virginia), so the order itself does not say which coast you chose: tell us in live chat that you want Virginia when you order. Moving a server between our locations is free, about once a week.
- Standard runs on the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Premium on the Ryzen 9 9950X. Both are 16-core AMD chips with DDR5 memory, both get the same RAM and NVMe storage per size, and both run behind Cloudflare Magic Transit. The 7950X3D has more L3 cache (128 MB against 64 MB), the 9950X is AMD's newer Zen 5 design. Premium costs our European Premium price plus €0.10 per GB. How either chip runs your server depends on your plugins and mods, so check MSPT with spark once it is running. Our 7950X3D post compares the two with AMD's own specs.
- No. The CPU is shared with other servers on the same machine, like on every Minecraft plan we sell. The RAM in your plan is reserved for your server.
- Yes, through Geyser with Floodgate, which lets Bedrock players on consoles and phones join a Java server. Geyser needs a UDP port, and you can add an extra port allocation yourself in the panel (three are included). Our Geyser and Floodgate guide walks through the setup.
- Yes. Moving an existing Space-Node server to California or Virginia is free about once a week, ask in live chat. Coming from another host, upload the world over SFTP yourself, or add the one-time migration service at checkout and we move it for you. Our guide to moving a Minecraft server lists what to copy.
- Our team answers live chat, Discord and email every day from 08:00 to 20:00 UTC, and monitoring runs around the clock. During daylight saving time that is 04:00 to 16:00 in New York and 01:00 to 13:00 in Los Angeles. From Sunday 1 November 2026, when the clocks go back, it is 03:00 to 15:00 in New York and 00:00 to 12:00 in Los Angeles, until daylight saving time starts again on 14 March 2027. A message sent on a US evening waits until the team is back.
- Checkout and invoices are in euros only. The plan selector can show approximate US dollar prices at a fixed exchange rate, and your bank or card provider converts the euro amount at its own rate on the day you pay; some cards add a foreign transaction fee.
- No. Plans are paid monthly or for a longer term, and you can cancel anytime; the server stays online until the end of the period you paid for.
USA Minecraft servers from €3.00 a month
California or Virginia, NVMe storage and Cloudflare Magic Transit on every plan. Install a CurseForge or Modrinth pack from the panel, or upload your own server files over SFTP.
