Can you host Minecraft server on DigitalOcean?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 2:28 pm

Minecraft servers can be hosted on DigitalOcean, a cloud services provider. The DigitalOcean Minecraft server is available for $5/month for a single server, or $10/month for a 2 server setup. You can also use DigitalOcean to create Droplets, which are mini servers that can run a variety of applications. Droplets are available in 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB sizes, and you can use them to run Minecraft servers, as well as a variety of other applications.

PRO TIP: While it is technically possible to host a Minecraft server on DigitalOcean, we do not recommend it. Minecraft servers are very resource-intensive, and can quickly exceed the resources of a typical Droplet. Additionally, because Minecraft servers are often the target of attacks, we recommend using a more secure hosting option.

The DigitalOcean Minecraft server is capable of handling up to 500 players at once, and the Droplets are capable of hosting up to 20 players. You can also use the DigitalOcean Minecraft server to store your game data, so you don’t have to worry about losing your game data if you switch servers. The DigitalOcean Minecraft server is easy to set up, and you can get started in just a few minutes.
