Hosting a dedicated Minecraft server can be the perfect solution if you play Minecraft with lots of mods or have many players. Unlike standard shared hosting or free platforms, a dedicated server gives you full control over performance, configuration, and stability — especially important when running a heavily modded world or managing a large multiplayer community.
Whether in Europe or in the United States, you can now get high-performance dedicated Minecraft hosting starting at just €59 in Europe or $89 in the US. Our promo servers include powerful Intel Xeon processors, 64GB RAM, enterprise-grade SSD or NVMe storage, and a premium network connection, ensuring smooth gameplay with zero lag.
Why Choose a Dedicated Minecraft Server?
A dedicated Minecraft server offers several distinct advantages compared to shared hosting or renting game servers with limited resources:
- Exclusive Resources – You won’t be sharing CPU, RAM, or bandwidth with other users.
- Full Admin Control – Customize game settings, install mods, and manage player permissions with full root or admin access.
- Maximum Performance – No lag, even during peak playtimes or with mod-heavy configurations.
- Reliable Uptime – Enjoy 99.99% uptime backed by service-level agreements (SLAs).
- DDoS Protection – Stay protected from malicious attacks that could bring your world down.
Whether you're running a PvP-focused server, a creative world with dozens of plugins, or a private survival realm for friends, a Minecraft dedicated server ensures that the experience is stable, responsive, and fully customizable.
What Server Specs Do You Need for Minecraft?
The ideal specifications for a dedicated Minecraft server depend on how many players you plan to host and how many mods or plugins you want to run. Here’s a general guideline:
- Small Servers (1–10 players): 4–8GB RAM, Xeon-class CPU
- Medium Servers (10–50 players): 16–32GB RAM, Xeon-class CPU
- Large or Modded Servers (50+ players or heavy mods): 64GB+ RAM, high-frequency multi-core CPU, fast NVMe storage
For the best gaming experience, go for dedicated Minecraft hosting with enterprise-grade hardware. With premium storage and high-throughput networks, players enjoy faster chunk loading, smoother redstone contraptions, and lag-free battles.
How Much RAM to Dedicate to a Heavily Modded Forge Server?
Are you running a heavily modded Forge server? Then you already know: modpacks like Pixelmon, RLCraft, Create, or All the Mods 9 aren’t light. These mods add custom world generation, advanced automation, new mobs, and complex mechanics — all of which demand significantly more memory than vanilla Minecraft.
Even if you're only hosting a handful of players, a heavily modded server typically requires 12–32 GB of RAM to run smoothly. Once you cross into 100+ mods, use custom shaders, or run large worlds with active players, you'll want to start with 64 GB RAM — especially if you're aiming for lag-free gameplay and fast chunk loading.
💡 Pro tip: RAM isn't the only factor — make sure your CPU has strong single-core performance, and use fast NVMe storage for quick world reads/writes.
And here’s the good news: NovoServe monitors server performance for you. That means you don’t need to worry about spotting memory bottlenecks or crashing due to overload. Our team keeps an eye on your usage, and we’ll work with you to scale up resources when needed — so your modded Minecraft experience stays stable, responsive, and fun.
How Do You Allocate More RAM to a Minecraft Server?
One of the most common questions asked by Minecraft server owners is: “How do I dedicate more RAM to my Minecraft server?” On platforms like Aternos, ScalaCube, or Exaroton, you're often limited by the platform’s plan or interface. But with a dedicated Minecraft server, this isn’t a problem at all.
When you rent a dedicated server — for example, from a bare metal provider like NovoServe — you get full control over the server’s memory allocation. You don’t need to rely on restrictive interfaces or upgrade tiers just to boost performance. You decide how much RAM your Minecraft instance gets, depending on your setup. This is ideal for serious players or communities who want the freedom to scale their server as needed.
Getting Started with a Dedicated Minecraft Server
Setting up a dedicated Minecraft server in 2025 is easier than ever. Many hosting providers now offer ready-to-go solutions tailored for Minecraft. You can choose between self-managed or managed options, depending on your technical skills.
As you opt for a self-managed dedicated Minecraft server, you have total control over everything from server settings to security. You can install Forge, Paper, Bukkit, or any other server type you prefer. On the other hand, a managed solution means your provider will handle the setup, updates, backups, and security — so you can focus on gameplay and community-building.
Beyond Minecraft: What Other Games Benefit from Dedicated Servers?
While Minecraft remains one of the most popular sandbox games for server hosting, it’s not the only one that benefits from dedicated infrastructure. Titles like ARK: Survival Evolved, Valheim, Rust, and 7 Days to Die also see a massive performance boost on dedicated servers.
Still, Minecraft stands out as a perfect match for dedicated hosting because of its open-ended modding possibilities and thriving multiplayer ecosystem. No matter how complex your world becomes, a dedicated Minecraft server gives you the resources and freedom to bring your vision to life.
Ready to Build Your Minecraft Server?
If you're serious about Minecraft — whether you’re creating a bustling multiplayer hub, running a private world with friends, or building the next big minigame server — a dedicated Minecraft server is the best way to achieve smooth, uninterrupted gameplay. With robust hardware, customizable settings, and unmatched performance, you’ll never look back.
