I was going to go with wisehosting.com after Mumbo Jumbo promoted them with an ad in one of his videos but apparently they’re in Estonia and my bank doesnt do business with that country.
I’ve never had a server in MC before, primarily playing solo but have been going on my friend’s realm the past couple months and really enjoying it. My complaint mainly is that realms limits render distance to like 16 or so and I’d like to crank it up to 32 as long as client side lag isn’t too bad, and I’ve been told servers don’t have the same cap on render distance as realms. We do like to build largeish amateur xp farms and regular redstone contraptions but shouldn’t need something huge that can run Minecraft-in-Minecraft or anything like that.
So yeah, nothing fancy, no mods. Maybe 10 total players most we’ve ever had online at once was 5. What options are popular and known, inexpensive and reasonably reliable? Figured I’d ask on here rather than troll through old redd*t threads looking for people promoting server hosting. Thanks!
It’s actually not that bad. Had a group of 10 or so streamers playing on the server pretty constantly for about 2-3 months, and I don’t think anyone really complained about it.
When nobody is on it, they shut the server down.
When it’s down and you want to log on, it boots you and tells you to wait for a min or two while they fire your server up, then you log back in again a little while later and it’s up.
It’s about the most dumb, dead-simple Minecraft hosting you can get.
