01 — Who this is for

Built for minecraft players

Dedicated Minecraft server hosting with automatic version updates, scheduled backups, and credentials generated on first deploy. Supports Vanilla, Paper, Forge, Fabric, Spigot, and Bedrock.

🧱
Why a dedicated minecraft server VPS beats DIY

You could install itzg/minecraft-server (auto-update, multi-version) on a generic $5 VPS. Most people who try spend an evening on the install, another on hardening, another on backups, and then it falls over the first time the kernel updates. We've done that work — every minecraft server plan is tuned, monitored, and updateable in one click.

02 — The stack

What's actually running on your VPS

No black boxes — here's the exact software shipped on every Minecraft Server VPS plan.

The Minecraft Server VPS image ships with: itzg/minecraft-server (auto-update, multi-version). We don't fork or patch — we use the official upstream releases, with sensible defaults for our hardware. Update on your schedule, not ours.

Everything runs in containers via Docker, so updates are atomic. If a release breaks something, roll back to the previous image in 30 seconds. No 'I broke prod by running apt upgrade' moments.

🐾
03 — The hardware

Real cores, real NVMe.

The same KVM hypervisor and enterprise NVMe drives we use across every OliveVPS region.

Common questions

About Minecraft Server VPS hosting.

How many players can each plan handle?

Vanilla 1.20+: Starter ~10 players, Pro ~25, Premium ~50. Heavily modded packs (200+ mods) halve those numbers. View distance and entity counts matter more than player count.

Can I install plugins and mods?

Yes — full file access via SFTP. Drop .jar files into `/plugins/` (Paper/Spigot) or `/mods/` (Forge/Fabric). Or use the web panel's mod uploader.

What about Bedrock Edition?

Yes — set `TYPE=BEDROCK` on container deploy. Same plans work; Bedrock uses less RAM than Java.

Will my server lag from being on a VPS?

Not if you size it correctly. The biggest cause of Minecraft lag is shared CPU. Our KVM plans give you dedicated cores — no steal time. We benchmark every plan at 200 TPS-stable player counts before we sell it.
