Our review
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 line at $1 per GB, Enterprise at $2.59 per GB and Extreme on Ryzen 9 9900X Bedrock runs as vanilla, Nukkit or PocketMine, with a behavior-pack guide Game Vault swaps the server to another game without losing progress
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.	The terms allow refunds only within 24 hours and only for unresolved faults Budget plans use older dual-Xeon hardware and reach six of the ten locations Geyser crossplay is a manual install or a $5 staff setup add-on
