    Christopher Murray
    This site's maneuverability and user friendly platform makes it easily good choice for someone who doesn't want to waste their time running a server on their own PC. The prices, compared to value of other Minecraft hostings is outstanding, no other site I visited could come close to what's found here on ScalaCube. I was recommended ScalaCube by my brother who also bought a server from them, and now I will be recommending it to my friends as well.

    I'm actually the developer for this server and I have used ScalaCube before on my own and others servers. I have always been able to run servers successfully and lag free with your service. I kept trying to convince the people I am currently developing for to switch from another Minecraft hosting to this but they finally did after the server was getting DDOSed.

    Haven't had any issues with the server crashing or stuttering like other hosting sites experience! Great customer service too when there are issues!

    Scalacube’s support team is amazing. They take around 3-4 hours to respond to tickets and can find solutions to nearly everything. I love the fact you can run multiple servers off one Minecraft server hosting machine for such an amazing deal. This will always be my go to host for servers!

Multiple Servers
Multiple Servers / Unlimited Slots

We provide cheap Minecraft Server Hosting services. Through our Control Panel you can set up an unlimited number of game servers with an unlimited number of slots on one VPS server. We offer VPS servers with a restricted amount of resources: memory, CPU, disk space. Servers seamlessly support a large number of players, as long as there is enough RAM and CPU power. Plan descriptions only give an approximate number of players the server can accommodate. In reality, this number can be more or less, depending on the plugins and mods installed on your server.

Here’s what makes ScalaCube the best Minecraft server hosting provider around:


ScalaCube doesn’t limit player slots. Instead, we let our clients choose the number of players they want based on their server hardware. If a high number of players causes their server to lag, they can instantly upgrade RAM at any time.

You may now use either an FTP client to transfer the files, by connecting the yoursubdomain.ourdomain.com and using your user and password. Or you can use the file manager in the control panel to do the upload, which is the simpler option. You will need to place the files into the directory named “world.”

When you first set up your Minecraft server, your user for the game, not for the hosting control panel, will need to be added to the game server as an admin. You can do this very easily via the control panel. All you need to do is click the game server and become an admin. Be careful not to add the wrong username to the admin list. Also, be sure to clean up admin users who no longer play your server from time to time.

  • whitelist reload (reinitializes the whitelist)

Then delete the file that matches the UUID you encoded. Then restart your Minecraft server.

The Premiere Minecraft Server Hosting Experience

If you want to play Minecraft with your friends and family across the web, Minecraft Java server hosting is easy and provides full control over your gameplay experience. But not all hosting exists equally. When we saw players suffering from low-quality service, we stepped in with the highest-quality cheap Minecraft server hosting available.

We offer a massive library of one-click installation mods and plugs that makes us the best modded Minecraft server hosting provider too. Popular modpacks? Check. Preconfigured plugins? Of course. And minigames like Skywars and McMMO? We’ve got you covered.

And if you need additional customization, our server hosting control panel gives you full control over Minecraft. With FTP, MySQL, Forge integration and more, you have the full power to forge a truly unique experience with no restrictions. We support PaperMC, Bukkit, every new snapshot, and much, much more.

ScalaCube was everything Minecraft was meant to be: limitless creativity held back only by your imagination. Whether it’s a casual experience or a massive modded server you’re building, ScalaCube’s the only solution worth considering. Nobody takes customization, customer support, ease of use, and high performance as seriously as we do.

Top-Quality Server Performance

Bad latency ruins Minecraft by delaying each action you take into the server. This lag turns the fun experience of Minecraft into a frustrating and slow chore.That’s why we made fast server speeds a priority when building ScalaCube. We want to be famous for lightning-fast performance, something we’ve fulfilled with our global network of dedicated servers.

Of course, latency is often caused by the player's local internet connection or the hardware they are using. Minecraft is quite lightweight in its hardware requirements, and ping times should not be affected by CPU bottlenecks. If your PC or laptop seems to be causing high latency to your Minecraft server, our customer service team might be able to give you some help and advice on how to solve this problem.

We are experienced in provisioning Minecraft servers of all sizes. We can provide you with a fairly small server now, then scale it up as your needs expand. Every Minecraft server, no matter the size, benefits from being on our robust, high-performance data backbone. We have used a modified control panel, which has advanced functionality yet is very user-friendly. From this control panel, you can access the “Server Configuration,” “Perform Maintenance,” and “Server Administration” functions. All of this happens in your web browser, with plenty of online help and tutorials to get you started.

Overall, each of the Minecraft servers we provide has been set up and optimized to run Minecraft smoothly, at low latency, with no lag spikes. However, as the number of players using your server grows, you may need to upgrade your server to provide additional hardware resources. Once again, our customer service team can give you advice about this.
