Question 1

What is the difference between managed and self-managed hosting?

Accepted Answer

Managed Minecraft hosting hands you a control panel where the host installs the server software, applies updates, and handles backups. Self-managed VPS or dedicated boxes give you root access, so you decide which JVM, version, and proxy stack to run.

Question 2

Does EnderDash work with all of these hosts?

Accepted Answer

EnderDash connects to your servers through a lightweight agent, so the dashboard works with any Minecraft host that lets you run the agent alongside the server. That covers nearly every managed and self-managed option on this page.

Question 3

How much RAM do I need for a Minecraft server?

Accepted Answer

A small vanilla SMP runs comfortably on 2 to 4 GB. Mid-sized communities and lightly modded servers want 6 to 8 GB. Large modpacks and 50+ player networks usually start at 12 GB and scale from there.

Question 4

Is DDoS protection always included?

Accepted Answer

Most managed Minecraft hosts include some level of network-level DDoS protection. Self-managed VPS and dedicated providers vary, which is why we keep a separate list at /get-protection.

Question 5

Which hosts already sell Hytale plans?

Accepted Answer

Hytale launched in Early Access on January 13, 2026 and uses QUIC over UDP on port 5520. Apex Hosting is a Launch Verified partner, Shockbyte is an Official Launch Partner with early game-file access, and BisectHosting and PebbleHost both publish ready-to-go Hytale plans. Self-managed VPS providers work too as long as you forward UDP 5520.

Question 6

How are prices rated?

Accepted Answer

Each host gets a € (budget), €€ (mid-range), or €€€ (premium) badge based on its lowest realistic plan for a public Minecraft network. Hover the badge for the full description.

Question 7

Are these hosts affiliated with EnderDash?

Accepted Answer

No. This list is independent. EnderDash does not own or operate these providers. We pick from hosts that are well-regarded by the Minecraft community and that play nicely with the EnderDash agent.
