Pros
  • One-click modded Minecraft. It has pages for ready-made modpacks (Cobblemon, All the Mods 9/10/11, RLCraft, Pixelmon, SkyFactory …), each with RAM guidance and the pack version, plus a built-in mod installer and updater.
  • A free 2 GB Minecraft plan to start. It lets you try the panel first, and paid plans start at 2 GB with every location its ping page lists and the full game panel.
  • Safety nets included. Up to three free backups a day, DDoS protection on game servers, and its own panel with a task scheduler and role-based access.
  • Budget costs $1 per GB and Premium $2.25 per GB, with no first-month discounts to decode
  • Premium adds one-click modpacks, daily and hourly backups and four more locations
  • Bedrock runs as vanilla, NukkitX or PocketMine-MP, preinstalled at checkout
Cons
  • Prices are hard to pin down. Prices differ by region, and on-page offers and countdown deals change the price you see, so check the renewal price at checkout.
  • The refund window is short. A voluntary money-back guarantee covers only the first purchase, within 3 calendar days (terms 5.3).
  • The free plan is a starter. It must be extended every 3 hours, with limited panel features and one location. The dedicated servers are announced but not yet orderable.
  • Budget 1–3 GB plans are billed quarterly, and backup restores cost extra
  • Support runs through Discord and tickets rather than live chat or phone
  • Its help centre says PS4, Switch and Xbox players can't join a server by IP
