Game servers

Your world, your rules.

Private servers for your friends or community, on hardware we own in Durham, NC — managed from the same portal as everything else, with a free subdomain on every plan.

Every plan includes a free subdomain, SFTP file access and the Pterodactyl panel.
Every plan

Built for running a server, not fighting one

Console in the portal

Live console and start/stop/restart next to your other services, no second login needed — plus a live player count on Minecraft Java.

Backups & schedules

3 to 8 backup slots depending on plan, plus scheduled restarts and commands.

Free subdomain

yourname.piedmonthosting.com on every plan. Minecraft Java players don’t even need a port.

Honest player counts

Every plan is sized to what the hardware really delivers, not to a number that looks good on the page.

Questions

Game server FAQ

How long does setup take?

Minecraft is usually ready within a few minutes. Games installed through Steam take longer — up to about fifteen minutes for CS2 — and we only mark a server ready once it has actually started, so you never get a server that fails on first launch. (Hytale is the exception — it starts once you finish its one-time sign-in.)

Can I install mods and plugins?

Yes. You get full file access over SFTP and through the Pterodactyl panel, so you can upload mods, plugins, maps and configs yourself.

Where are the servers?

Durham, North Carolina — low latency for players across the US East Coast.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Plans are month-to-month and you can cancel from your dashboard.
