Perfect for our SMP server

Running a 20-player survival server for our friend group. Zero lag even when everyone is online at peak hours. The one-click mod installer saved us hours of setup time.

Switched from a big name host and won't go back

Used to pay nearly double for worse performance. The Skynode panel makes managing plugins and world backups dead simple. Highly recommend for any Minecraft server admin.

Rock solid for modpacks too

Thought running a modpack with 200+ mods would be a nightmare to set up, but the one-click modpack installer made it completely painless. Server has been stable for two months straight.
