Minecraft server cost calculator

Pick how much memory you want and see the price per month and per year.

One server can have up to 5 GB for now. Split bigger totals across several servers.

$9 / month

or $81 for a whole year, which saves $27. That is 3 GB paid on top of the free 3 GB.

How it adds up

Memory is the price: the first 3 GB are free, and each GB after is $3 a month or $27 for a year.

There are no fees for plugins, backups, the file manager or the Bedrock add-on.

Questions

Is there a catch with the free memory?

The first 3 GB are free forever. A free server sleeps when nobody is online and has time limits shown on the plans page. Paid memory stays on.

Can I split the memory over several servers?

Yes. Your memory is a pool, and you can give it out as you like across your servers.

What does a good server need?

Use the RAM calculator: it turns players, plugins and view distance into a number.
