To help with managing your Vanilla Minecraft server, PebbleHost provides an industry-best gaming panel.
We need a little information about the software you plan to run on your Vanilla Minecraft server in order to recommend the most suitable hosting plan.
For a Spigot / Paper server running version 1.17 we'd recommend a minimum of 5GB of RAM.
Our management panel, designed for maximum stability and user-friendliness, is compatible with all of our Vanilla Minecraft server hosting options.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
We operate in a number of datacenters around the world for the best possible ping. Note that locations marked Premium are only available on Premium plans.
