Frequently Asked Questions

How to connect a domain

If you own your own domain from a Domain Registrar such as Namecheap or Google Domains, you can set it up by following our guide on setting up DNS records.

All servers have the ability to make a free subdomain ending in .my.pebble.host through their gamepanel.

What's the difference between Budget and Premium

Our Premium hosting uses the faster Ryzen 7900 CPU, which means it's able to handle higher playercounts and more intensive servers than on Budget. The 5x faster NVMe SSDs improve chunk loading speeds, and the extra features such as free automatic backups and automatic one-click modpack installations allow peace of mind and save time setting up your server.

Do I have to port forward?

No, none of our services require port forwarding. The Minecraft server is hosted on our own computers in a datacenter so we handle all of the networking aspects for you. If you require an extra port to use for plugins such as Votifier or Dynmap this can be added in one click inside of our gamepanel

How long does setup take?

Our billing system instantly provisions orders as soon as the payment receives. This means that, as long as you use a payment method which works instantly such as PayPal Balance or Credit/Debit Card, you should receive the service within a few minutes.

It's possible the order details might go to your Spam folder so make sure to check that!

What does 'Unmetered Disk Space' mean?

This means that you can use as much space as you need for your server as long as you follow our Fair Usage Policy which essentially states that any files on the server must be essential to the server's operation.

Can I use a custom modpack/Forge/Fabric/Spigot version?

All PebbleHost services come with full access to all server files. This means you can upload any custom modpacks or JAR files you wish to use, through our gamepanel.

To use a custom JAR file, just select any version at purchase then inside of your gamepanel you will be able to choose the "Custom JAR" option.

Can I use a MySQL Database for my plugins?

Yes, all plans include a free MySQL Database which can be used with plugins such as LuckPerms, Dynmap, CoreProtect, Litebans etc. Additional databases are charged at $1/database/month and can be enabled in your gamepanel under the "MySQL Database" page.

Why Choose PebbleHost?

Why are chicken jockeys so popular?

>1 hour 41 minute runtime included memorable chicken jockey moments that resonated with fans, making them even more sought-after in gameplay.

Can you increase chicken jockey spawn rates?

Yes, with mods or custom server configurations, you can increase the spawn rate of chicken jockeys and other rare mob combinations. They normally have only a 0.25% spawn chance, making them extremely rare.
Our hosting platform supports various mods that can customize mob spawning mechanics, allowing you to create servers with more frequent rare encounters if desired.

What happens when you kill a chicken jockey?

When fighting a chicken jockey, you must kill both mobs separately - they don't share health. The baby zombie will drop its normal loot, and the chicken will drop feathers and potentially raw chicken.
The baby zombie can continue fighting on foot if the chicken is killed first, so be prepared for continued combat.

Best server settings for rare mob encounters?

To optimize rare mob spawns like chicken jockeys, ensure proper difficulty settings, adequate mob spawn areas, and stable server performance that doesn't interfere with natural spawning mechanics.
Our hosting provides the reliable performance needed for authentic rare mob encounters without technical interruptions.
