Minecraft Server Hosting
High-performance servers for professional Minecraft hosting
Game on. Enjoy high-performance, bare-metal Minecraft server hosting built for demanding gaming workloads. Deliver stable, low-latency Minecraft worlds on dedicated server infrastructure optimized for performance, uptime, RAM usage, and player experience. OVHcloud Minecraft Server Hosting relies on powerful processors up to AMD Ryzen™ 7 9800X3D, DDR5 memory, NVMe SSD storage, unlimited traffic, 1 Gbps guaranteed bandwidth, a 99.95% SLA, and integrated Game DDoS Protection.
This professional hosting environment is purpose-built to support consistent TPS, high player concurrency, advanced modpacks, and long-running multiplayer servers. Whether you operate community servers, act as a hosting provider, or manage large-scale game services, dedicated infrastructure ensures predictable performance, operational control, and a reliable hosting experience.
Benefits of Hosting a Minecraft Server
TPS Stability & World Simulation
Running professional Minecraft server hosting environments requires stable tick rates under real multiplayer load. Player activity, entity density, Redstone automation, chunk loading, and world size directly affect server performance. Dedicated servers provide predictable CPU scheduling and strong single-thread performance, allowing operators to maintain a stable 20 TPS during large builds, automated farms, and live community events on Game dedicated servers.
Modded Workloads & JVM Efficiency
Modded Minecraft server hosting introduces complex JVM requirements and intensive server-side processing. Large modpacks, plugins, and custom features rely on fast single-core performance, generous CPU cache, and reliable disk I/O. Dedicated Game servers support Forge, Fabric, and custom mod ecosystems by handling memory-intensive workloads, advanced world generation, and sustained storage operations without impacting gameplay experience.
Java and Bedrock Parity with Monitoring
Professional hosting providers often run both Minecraft Java and Bedrock servers. Dedicated infrastructure ensures consistent latency, stable performance, and unified control across platforms. With full root access, administrators can deploy monitoring, logging, backup, and alerting tools to maintain uptime, visibility, and service quality for players worldwide.

Make a difference with our Game servers
The power of AMD Ryzen™ 7 9800X3D
Minecraft server performance depends heavily on single-thread speed, cache efficiency, and CPU stability. Processors up to AMD Ryzen™ 7 9800X3D deliver high boost frequencies and large L3 cache, ensuring fast chunk processing, stable TPS, and responsive gameplay even with high player counts, complex Redstone systems, and advanced modpacks.
Elite level water-cooling
Our proprietary water-cooling system maintains sustained turbo frequencies by efficiently dissipating CPU heat. This prevents throttling during peak activity and long-running sessions, ensuring consistent performance for modded servers, heavy world generation, and intensive multiplayer gameplay.
An impenetrable security fortress
All Minecraft Server Hosting solutions include Game DDoS Protection built specifically for gaming traffic. With more than 30 predefined profiles, mitigation is automatic and protocol-aware. Attacks are filtered in real time, protecting server availability, player connections, and overall service reliability.
Controlled latency and uptime
With a 99.95% SLA and 1 Gbps guaranteed bandwidth, dedicated servers deliver predictable latency, stable connectivity, and consistent uptime. Players enjoy smooth gameplay during peak hours, content updates, and events, while operators benefit from reliable hosting across regions.
Scaling, Automation, and Professional Operations
Mod loaders and scaling strategies
As mod ecosystems grow, Minecraft servers must scale efficiently. Dedicated infrastructure supports increasing player demand, larger worlds, and complex configurations. High-speed NVMe storage and controlled memory allocation reduce world-generation stalls and improve dimension switching as servers evolve.
Operational confidence for agencies
Agencies and professional hosting providers require repeatable deployments, reliable hardware, and controlled server management. Dedicated servers support automation, snapshots, backups, and seasonal resets, helping teams maintain consistent service levels across multiple customer environments.
Deployment automation and CI/CD
Minecraft Server Hosting integrates with infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD workflows. Operators can automate server setup, updates, configuration management, and plugin testing, reducing manual operations while improving reliability, security, and deployment speed.

FAQ – Minecraft Server Hosting
What is a dedicated Minecraft server?
A dedicated Minecraft server is a physical machine reserved for a single user or organisation. It provides full control, dedicated CPU, RAM, storage, and predictable performance, making it ideal for modded servers, high player counts, and professional hosting services.
How do I set up a Minecraft server with OVHcloud?
Choose a configuration from the Game dedicated servers range, deploy your preferred edition, and configure it via SSH or automation tools. Guides help with setup, security, and optimisation.
How much RAM do I need for a Minecraft server?
Vanilla servers typically require 4 to 8 GB of RAM. Modded servers, larger communities, or advanced features may require 16 GB or more.
Can I host a Minecraft server for free?
Free hosting is suitable for testing, but production servers require reliable hardware, network performance, and protection. Dedicated hosting ensures stability and uptime.
How do I manage my Minecraft server?
Servers can be managed via SSH, SFTP, control panels, or automation frameworks. Full root access allows complete configuration control.
