Minecraft Server Hosting

Minecraft is a lot of fun in singleplayer and public servers can be too chaotic, so where do you go when you want to host your own Minecraft server? Port forwarding can be confusing and some ISPs block port ranges making things even more complicated. I've located some of the best Minecraft hosting providers.

Hosting or Self Hosted?

Pros and cons

There are many advantages to choosing a Minecraft host instead of hosting your own server, one of which is bandwidth. Many hosting services are located in data centers with faster speeds than any residence can get. Those who require a lot of players or stability will want to choose a dependable host to run their game server.

If you only need to play with a few people you should be able to host it no problem but if you're looking to run a public server you should go with a hosting option. Before deciding you should consider what your hosting demands will be.
