Fast Reliable UK Minecraft Server Hosting

Gaming is made possible with smooth gameplay and the flexibility provided by dedicated computing resources. Although dedicated servers can be expensive and may not be needed by all users, they are still a good option. On the other hand, Hosting.co.uk VPS solutions offers a cost-effective way to host private Minecraft games with other players using your own VPS.

A private server is a fully independent virtual environment that uses bare-metal hardware. Each VPS gets a portion of the server's computing resource and functions the same as a dedicated server but at a fraction the cost. It's like renting a room in a house instead of a complete home.

There are many benefits to having dedicated servers at an affordable price, lightning-fast speeds and quick rendering. This allows you to increase connectivity and minimise delays in gaming. And, best of all, there's no interference from other players. You get half the power and performance of dedicated servers when you purchase Minecraft hosting VPS plans.

Minecraft is a virtual sandbox game that allows players to create and disassemble blocks in a 3D environment. The game's objectives are survival and creativity. The game requires players to use their imagination to explore, gather resources, craft cubes and engage in battle. Minecraft was created by Markus Persson, a Swedish game developer. It was released in 2011.

Multi-player games are available, as well as a wide range of game modes. The game has been played by more than 91 million people monthly since mid-2018. It is one of the most downloaded video games with over 177,000,000 copies sold across multiple platforms and devices.

Many people love playing on public gaming servers. However, private gaming servers are becoming more popular with those who want to build their own universes, collaborate with others, and follow their own rules.

Hosting.co.uk VPS plans allow you to manage and host your own virtual servers. You can choose the OS you want to use and the size you wish to order. Once you have completed checkout for your Minecraft server, we will set up and grant access to the server. As soon as you have access you can create your own world and share the IP address to everyone you want to play with.

Our team offers dedicated VPS hosting support, which can be used to quickly reboot the server or change passwords.

Latency is the time it takes data to travel from one place to the next.

Ping is a problem even if you are playing Minecraft, not competitive FPS/RTS game. Your gameplay will be smoother, which means that your ping will be lower.
