Frequently asked questions

How much does a Minecraft server cost at PenguHost?

From €2.73 per 30 days for 2 GB RAM, 1 CPU core, 5 GB NVMe storage and a backup slot. You pay per resource, so you can build exactly the server you need, and 90 days are 5 % cheaper, a year 10 %.

It is prepaid with no contract: you buy days, not a subscription. Auto-renewal from your account balance is optional and can be switched off at any time.

How much RAM do I need for my Minecraft server?

As a rough guide: 2-3 GB for a small vanilla or Paper server with a few friends, 4-6 GB for 10-30 players with plugins, and 6-10 GB or more for modpacks. Big modpacks and large view distances need the most.

You can change RAM, CPU and storage later in the dashboard and only pay the difference for the remaining days, so it is fine to start small. Not sure? Ask Kowalski, it looks at your server and recommends a size.

Can an AI set up my Minecraft server for me?

Yes. Kowalski, our AI agent, works directly on your server in the panel. Tell it something like "set up a survival server with economy, homes and land claims" and it searches and installs the plugins, configures them, restarts the server and checks the log. It can also read crash logs and fix the cause, and even write a small custom plugin for you.

By default it asks before every change. Every account gets 400 free AI credits each month. More about Kowalski

Can I install plugins, mods and modpacks?

Yes. Paper/Spigot plugins install with one click from Modrinth and SpigotMC, Forge, Fabric and NeoForge mods from Modrinth, and whole modpacks from Modrinth and CurseForge, including switching the server to the right loader. You can also upload your own jar or files through the file manager or SFTP.

Can Java and Bedrock players play together?

Yes. You can run a Bedrock server, or keep a Java server and add Geyser and Floodgate from the plugin installer so Bedrock players (phone, console, Windows) can join too. Kowalski can set that up for you.

Where are the servers and what ping can I expect?

The servers run on our own AMD Ryzen hardware in Germany, connected through Frankfurt am Main. Across Europe the ping is usually around 10-50 ms. Players in North America or Asia can join, but with noticeably higher ping.

Is there a player limit?

No slot limit. How many players your server handles depends on RAM, CPU and what you run on it. Plugins and mods matter more than the raw player count.

Can I move my existing server from another host?

Yes, and we do it for free: worlds, plugins, mods and configs, usually the same day. Order a server and open a migration ticket. How the free migration works

Do I get my own server address, or can I use my own domain?

Both. Every server gets a free address like yourname.penguhost.com, and Java players do not need to type a port.

You can also use your own domain: buy one right in the dashboard and connect it to your server with one click (the port record is set up for you), or point a domain you already own at your server. Buy a domain at PenguHost · Use a domain you already have
