Minecraft Hosting — Pricing Optimization & Storage Update

We are introducing an important update to our Minecraft Hosting infrastructure and pricing model, focused on improving long-term affordability, sustainability, and accessibility for all users.

After careful evaluation of real-world workloads and customer usage patterns, we have made a strategic storage adjustment that allows us to deliver the same level of performance at a significantly better price.

Why This Change Was Made

Previously, our Minecraft hosting plans were powered by NVMe SSD storage, which offers extremely high performance.

However, after extensive testing and real-world usage analysis, we identified that:

• Minecraft servers do not consistently utilize the full performance potential of NVMe
• The cost of NVMe storage was significantly increasing plan pricing
• Most workloads benefit more from stable CPU and RAM performance rather than ultra-fast disk speeds

To address this, we have transitioned to high-quality SATA SSD storage, allowing us to reduce pricing while maintaining real-world performance.

Real-World Performance Testing

Before implementing this change, we conducted extensive internal testing to validate performance.

Test scenario included:

• 80+ plugins installed

• 130+ concurrent players

• Continuous gameplay including:

  • Block placement and breaking
  • Chunk loading and world interaction
  • Plugin-heavy operations

The results confirmed that:

• Server performance remained stable and consistent
• No noticeable degradation in gameplay experience
• TPS stability and responsiveness were maintained

This demonstrates that for Minecraft hosting, SATA SSD provides more than sufficient performance when paired with strong CPU and memory resources.

What Has Changed

• Storage: NVMe SSD → SATA SSD • Pricing: Significantly reduced across all plans

All other specifications remain unchanged:

• Same CPU performance • Same RAM allocation • Same network performance • Same overall infrastructure quality

Pricing Optimization

This change allows us to offer more affordable plans without compromising user experience.

Instead of charging premium pricing for unused NVMe performance, we have aligned our infrastructure with actual workload requirements, making our services:

• More accessible to long-term users • Better suited for sustained hosting • Competitively priced without reducing quality

Plan Comparison

Below is the updated pricing:

Each plan now reflects a clear reduction in cost, making it easier for users to scale and continue using our services long-term.

Seamless Migration — No Downtime

All existing services were migrated using a live data transfer process, ensuring zero disruption.

The migration process included:

• Live data transfer from NVMe to SATA storage • Activation of new storage nodes • Reassignment of existing VPS IPs • Transparent backend transition without service interruption

As a result, all servers continued operating without downtime or data loss.

Our Approach

This update reflects our core philosophy:

Deliver the best possible performance where it matters, while keeping pricing fair and sustainable.

Rather than maintaining unnecessarily high costs, we chose to optimize intelligently, ensuring users receive a balanced, high-quality hosting experience at a better price.

Conclusion

With this update, our Minecraft hosting now offers:

• Reliable and consistent performance • Optimized storage aligned with real-world usage • Significantly improved pricing • Better long-term value for customers
