About Game Hosting Guides
Game Hosting Guides publishes independent, in-depth reviews of Minecraft and game server hosting providers. Every review is written after hands-on research into the provider’s plans, infrastructure, support quality, and real-world performance.
How we review
Each provider is evaluated on the same criteria:
- Performance — CPU model, dedicated vs shared cores, RAM allocation, NVMe storage, network throughput.
- Pricing — entry-level cost per GB of RAM, contract terms, hidden fees, refund policy.
- Features — modpack support, plugin manager, one-click installs, backups, DDoS protection, sub-users.
- Locations — datacenter regions and how they map to player latency.
- Support — response time, channel coverage (ticket / live chat / Discord), and depth of technical answers.
