Minecraft Server Hosting
Minecraft is the world's most popular sandbox game — build, explore, survive and play together across endless worlds. The best way to play with friends is your own dedicated Minecraft server: an always-on world that's there whenever you are, with no need to host from your own PC. With Lobby Maker you can rent a Minecraft server in seconds, run vanilla, plugins or modpacks, and start playing right away — no technical setup required.
Why host your own Minecraft server?
A dedicated server keeps your world online 24/7, so friends can join any time without you keeping your computer running. You control everything — game mode (survival, creative, hardcore), difficulty, whitelist, player slots and plugins. It's a private, persistent world that's truly yours, with no lag from a home connection and no random strangers.
What you get with Lobby Maker
One-click deployment on low-latency EU hardware and a simple control panel to start, stop and configure your server. Run vanilla Minecraft, Paper or Spigot for plugins, or Forge and Fabric for modpacks — you have full control. Add a whitelist, set the difficulty, install mods, and enjoy clear monthly pricing with no hidden fees. Pick a RAM tier to match your world size and player count and you're online in under a minute.
FAQ
Everything you need to know about hosting
Yes — every plan includes a free, built-in AI assistant right next to your server console. It helps you configure Minecraft, edit files like server.properties, install mods and plugins, and understand error logs: just describe the problem or paste a log and it guides you to the fix, at no extra cost.
It depends on the RAM tier you choose — more players, plugins and modpacks need more memory. Exact monthly prices for each tier are shown on this page before checkout, with no setup fees, so you can pick an affordable plan that fits your group.
Lobby Maker servers are paid, but they're built for reliability — dedicated low-latency EU hardware, 24/7 uptime and instant setup. Free servers usually mean queues, ads, downtime and limited control, which is exactly what a dedicated server avoids.
Vanilla survival for a few friends runs comfortably on the entry tier, while modpacks and bigger communities should pick a higher RAM plan. You can upgrade your plan at any time as your server grows.
As a rough guide: vanilla with a few friends is fine on a small plan, plugin servers (Paper/Spigot) want a mid tier, and heavy modpacks (Forge/Fabric) need more memory. Each plan on this page lists its RAM so you can match it to your setup.
Yes. You get full control through the panel, so you can run vanilla, Paper/Spigot plugins, or Forge and Fabric modpacks depending on how you want to play.
After deployment you'll get a server address (IP and port) in your dashboard. In Minecraft, go to Multiplayer → Add Server, paste the address, and connect. Share the same address with your friends so everyone can join.
Your server is provisioned automatically and is usually online within a minute of checkout, with the connection address available immediately in your dashboard.
Free AI setup assistant on every plan
Every Lobby Maker Minecraft server includes an AI support assistant built into the control panel, right beside your console. Not sure how to enable offline mode, set up a whitelist, install a plugin or read a crash log? Paste the log or ask in plain English and it walks you through the fix — at no extra cost, included with any subscription. It's like having a Minecraft server expert on call whenever you need one, something most hosts simply don't offer.
