Hardware
Instances are provisioned on the fleet below. Node assignment depends on capacity available at application time.
| Node | Region | Processor | Memory | Storage | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wisconsin | US | i5-4570T / 2C 4T | 8 GB DDR3 | 256 GB SATA SSD | Available |
| Tennessee | US | i5-4690S / 4C 4T | 16 GB DDR3 | 256 GB SATA SSD | Available |
| Germany | EU | Ryzen 5 5600X / 6C 12T | 24 GB DDR4 | 256 GB GEN4 NVMe | Out of stock |
| India | IN | Ryzen 7 9800X3D / 8C 16T | 64 GB DDR5 | 256 GB GEN5 NVMe | Out of stock |
Minecraft servers
Vanilla or modded, whatever the server needs. Every instance gets the same allocation so nothing hogs a node and everyone else still has a playable server.
Each server instance is allocated 1 core, 6 GB of RAM (more can be requested when available), 64 GB of storage, and 2 backups. These limits keep shared node resources fair for everyone — they are the same on every node regardless of the underlying hardware listed above.
Website hosting
Static sites and small web apps hosted on shared hardware. Same idea as the Minecraft hosting, applied to websites — free, and capped so one site can't eat the node.
Each hosted website gets 5 GB of SSD storage, 50% CPU, and 1.5 GB of RAM. Sites are served over HTTPS. Anything resource-heavy (video, large databases, crypto, mail servers) doesn't fit these limits — see the Rules before you upload anything.
Request a server (Limited to one server per person)
Capacity is intentionally limited and issued on a first-come, first-served basis as availability permits. Apply when slots are shown as available.
