Minecraft Java Hosting FAQ
Have more questions? Contact our support team.
Which Minecraft versions do you support?
Any Java Edition version. The server runs the version pinned in its .paper-mc-version file, which you can change from the file manager (restart to apply). Vanilla, Paper, Spigot-compatible plugins, Forge, Fabric and custom JARs all work.
Can I install modpacks?
Yes. Upload any modpack through the control panel's file manager — Forge, Fabric, and custom packs all work, and you can swap the server JAR yourself. For large modpacks, we recommend our Standard or Premium plans for the extra RAM.
Do you support Bedrock Edition?
Currently we focus on Java Edition hosting. Bedrock support may be added in the future based on demand.
How many players can my server handle?
Each plan has a player cap sized to its RAM: Standard 16, Premium 30. Outgrow it and email support@hostsimple.io — we move you up a plan the same day, your world and address stay put, and Stripe prorates the difference.
Can I use my own domain for the server?
Yes. Your server has a fixed address (hostname and port) that you can point an SRV record at from your own domain, so friends can join with something like play.yourdomain.com.
Do you support BungeeCord / Velocity networks?
Not as a one-click feature. A proxy network needs its own server and extra ports, which the standard plans don't include — email support@hostsimple.io with what you're planning and we'll tell you what's possible.
