Tell us how you expect the server to run. We will match a conservative starting estimate to the Minecraft plans currently listed above.
The estimate includes headroom for normal spikes. Big modpacks, new terrain generation, high view distance and heavy farms can still need more memory, RAM is not a performance guarantee on its own.
The StormNodes panel
Everything you need, without the clutter.
Manage servers, files, billing and account security through one focused control panel built for desktop and mobile.

Feature 01
Your infrastructure at a glance
View every server, monitor live resource usage and access the tools you need from one focused dashboard.
Built for your AI assistant
Your words. Your server. Connected.
Connect a compatible AI assistant to StormNodes through MCP, the Model Context Protocol. Ask it to check a server, explore files or manage backups using the access you grant.
Your account permissions still apply. Tool calls are recorded in your activity log, with an AI tag so you can see what happened through MCP.
AgentExample: ask an agent to check a Minecraft server. It reads the settings, inspects the directory and checks backups through MCP. After 47 simulated seconds, it explains the results. I checked your server settings and recent backups. Your server has 4 GB of memory allocated, and the latest backup completed successfully. I left your files and settings unchanged.

FAQ
Minecraft server hosting questions
- How much does Minecraft server hosting cost at StormNodes?
- StormNodes Minecraft server hosting starts at €0.95 per month. Every plan lists its RAM, CPU and NVMe storage on the plan card before checkout, and there are no setup fees or long-term contracts.
- Is StormNodes good for cheap Minecraft hosting?
- Yes. Plans start at €0.95 per month with no setup fee, which covers a small survival world for friends. Larger plans are available for modpacks and public communities, and you can move up at any time as your player count grows.
- Can I install plugins and mods on my Minecraft server?
- Yes. StormNodes provisions Paper, Purpur, Fabric and vanilla Java servers, so both plugins and mods are supported depending on the software you pick. The panel includes a plugin browser for installing SpigotMC plugins directly, and full file access if you would rather upload JARs yourself.
- Can I run a Minecraft network or proxy?
- Yes. StormNodes supports Velocity and Waterfall proxies, so you can run a multi-server network with a lobby and connected game servers rather than a single standalone world.
- Do I get full console and file access?
- Yes. Every StormNodes plan includes the client panel, with a live console, a full file manager, startup and version settings, scheduled tasks, databases, backups and sub-user access for people you trust to help run the server.
- Can I change my Minecraft version?
- Yes. The server version and the underlying software can be changed from the panel, so you can move a world onto a newer Minecraft release or switch between Paper, Purpur, Fabric and vanilla without opening a support ticket.
- What uptime does StormNodes guarantee?
- StormNodes commits to a 99.9% uptime target for all hosting services, excluding planned maintenance. If that target is missed, you can submit a support ticket within 7 days of the incident to receive service credits on your account. Live status is published on the StormNodes status page.
- Are backups included?
- Each plan includes a backup allowance, shown on the plan card. Backups are created and restored from the panel, so you can roll a world back yourself without waiting on support.
- How do I get support?
- Support runs through tickets in the StormNodes client panel and through the StormNodes Discord community. Service status and incident history are published on the public status page.
- Is my data handled under GDPR?
- Yes. StormNodes is GDPR compliant, encrypts customer data, hashes passwords before storage, and does not sell or share personal data with third parties.
- Where are StormNodes servers located?
- StormNodes hosts its game servers in Portugal. A Portuguese location sits on the western edge of Europe with direct routes into Spain, France and the wider EU, so players across Western Europe connect to the same node without a transatlantic hop.
- Is StormNodes good for European players?
- Yes. The hardware is in Portugal and the service is sold across Europe, so Portuguese and Spanish players get very low latency and the rest of Western Europe stays comfortably inside the range where Minecraft feels responsive. There is no need to route through a US datacentre.
- Can I host a Minecraft server in Portugal?
- Yes. StormNodes runs its Minecraft hosting from Portugal, which means Portuguese players connect to a server inside their own country rather than one several borders away. Plans are billed monthly in EUR with no setup fee.
- What ping can European players expect?
- Latency depends on the player's own connection and route, but a server in Portugal is geographically closest for players in Portugal and Spain, and remains well placed for France, the UK, Italy and the rest of Western Europe. Minecraft stays responsive well beyond the single-digit ping range, so a Portuguese node suits European communities.
