Memory is what decides how much your server can hold. Everything else scales with it.

Compatibility

Run whatever build your world needs

Switch between any of these from the panel in one click, without losing your world or reinstalling anything. Java and Bedrock both included at no extra cost.

Official

Vanilla

The server Mojang ships, exactly as it comes. Every version from 1.7 to the newest snapshot.

Plugins

Paper

The build most public servers run. Big performance gains over vanilla and it takes every Spigot plugin.

Plugins

Spigot

The classic Bukkit API. Reach for it when a plugin you need hasn't been updated for Paper.

Plugins

Purpur

Paper with hundreds of extra settings. For when you want to change how the game itself behaves.

Mods

Forge

The loader behind most big modpacks. Install any CurseForge pack straight from the panel.

Mods

Fabric

Light and quick to update. Usually the first loader ready when a new Minecraft version lands.

Crossplay

Bedrock

For phones, consoles and Windows. Or add Geyser to a Java server and let both join the same world.

Network

Velocity · BungeeCord

Join several servers into one network so players hop between lobby, survival and minigames seamlessly.

Getting started

Your world is online in four steps

No setup fee and no waiting queue. From payment to a joinable IP is usually under a minute.

  1. 1

    Pick your memory

    Use the slider above if you're not sure. Vanilla wants little; a 200-mod pack wants a lot.

  2. 2

    Choose the city

    Miami, New York or Los Angeles. Pick the one closest to most of your players and change it later for free.

  3. 3

    Install your build

    Paper, Forge, Fabric, a CurseForge modpack or plain vanilla — one click each, from the panel.

  4. 4

    Hand out the address

    You get a free yourserver.sentrixnode.com subdomain, so nobody has to memorise an IP and a port.

Our network

Three locations — pick the one that gives your players the lowest ping

We host in premium United States data centres, on both coasts and the southeast. Measure the latency from your own connection before you order anything.

Sentrix Shield

Stay online whatever happens

Sentrix Shield is our own anti-DDoS infrastructure — our hardware, our rules, our engineers. Filtering runs at layers 3, 4 and 7 on every plan, with no attack cap and no surcharge when it is your turn.

Layer 3 · volumetric

Amplification and reflection floods absorbed at our own edge, before they reach the node your server runs on.

Layer 4 · state exhaustion

SYN floods and half-open connection attacks stopped with SYN cookies and rate limits tuned per protocol.

Layer 7 · application

Bots that imitate real game clients, caught by per-game fingerprint rules. This is the layer generic providers miss.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Vanilla with up to 10 players runs fine on 2 GB. Paper with plugins and 20 players wants 4 GB. For big modpacks like All the Mods, start at 8 GB. You can upgrade at any time without losing the world.
