Rent a Minecraft Server – your block adventure

Minecraft has fascinated players for years with limitless creativity. Whether it's a cozy survival evening, an epic Minecraft PvP server, or an ambitious city-building project – at ZAP-Hosting, you can rent your own Minecraft server and get started right away. The automatic setup takes just a few minutes, after which you can manage everything conveniently in your browser. Thanks to minute-based billing, you only pay for what you actually use, and you can scale your resources up or down at any time. If you want to expand your project later, you can easily migrate it to a vServer or Dedicated Server with just one click – all without data loss. Daily snapshots and automatic backups reliably preserve your worlds, while the resource monitor shows you in real-time how much power your redstone machines are consuming. This makes Minecraft server hosting a flexible companion for every play style.

Whether you want to launch a Minecraft Bedwars server, host a massive Minecraft Skyblock server, or simply experience adventures together in survival mode – with ZAP-Hosting, you can create a performant, secure server in just a few steps that adapts to your gameplay and not the other way around. Buying a Minecraft server has never been so straightforward: choose a product, pay, and play.

Gameswitch, Mods & APIs – maximum freedom

Our dashboard is specifically optimized for Minecraft Java servers and makes external tools unnecessary. The integrated game switch allows you to switch between vanilla or popular APIs like Forge, Spigot, Paper Spigot, Bukkit, or Fabric in no time – without reinstallation. You can upload mods, plugins, or entire modpacks via drag-and-drop, while the version manager performs automatic compatibility checks. Role-based permission management, live log viewer, and in-game console run directly in your browser; FTP is optional.

This way, you can start a Minecraft modpack server in just a few clicks, test snapshots of the latest version, or expand your existing project with additional plugins. By quickly upgrading or downgrading RAM, CPU cores, and storage space, you maintain full control over performance. All of this makes creating Minecraft servers at ZAP-Hosting so easy that you can fully concentrate on your gameplay.

Premium hardware, DDoS protection & locations worldwide

When huge redstone machines are running or hundreds of players are moving items, raw power counts. That's why we rely on modern AMD Ryzen CPUs, fast NVMe SSDs, and up to 1 Gbit/s uplink per instance. Our multi-layered, automatic DDoS protection filters attacks in real-time, ensuring that your Minecraft server remains accessible at all times. For the best latency, you can choose from data centers in Frankfurt/Eygelshoven, London, Helsinki, Los Angeles, Dallas, Ashburn, or Singapore.

Daily backups are stored on separate storage and can be restored with a click. Should you need help, our multilingual ticket support is available around the clock. By combining high-quality hardware, global locations, and reliable security, we offer Minecraft server hosting that can effortlessly support even the largest projects, such as an extensive Minecraft city-building server or a long-standing Minecraft server survival mode.
