Best Budget Minecraft Host?

I am currently looking for a cheap (but reliable) host for my minecraft server. I understand that this is tough to find, but I have narrowed my options to Pebblehost, Revivenode, and Witherhosting. I was thinking of also using Elixirnode (0.85/gb), however there is no SQL database included in the host, so I don't think it's worth the $0.15 price decrease. If there is a seperate host you recommend, please let me know, though these seem to be the more well-known brands of hosting. Thanks!

Tried to set this up but it didn't work well. I have a seperate server hosted on oracle cloud, but it's such a hassle sometimes. If the server I'm creating ever gets as big as the other one, I guess I'll switch it over, but oracle cloud is just too buggy.

Oracle delets VMs all the time and will terminate it if it's too active or not active enough. It's happened to me twice, but I know some people don't have that happen to them. It's really just a lottery sometimes.

just make sure the server is always being used, keep a large radius of loaded chunks so cpu use never gets too low

Awesome! Feel free to check out drivebackupV2, just incase it gets deleted. I didn't create it or anything, but it's saved me many times.

the only thing that actually matters on the server is the sql database, everything else can be restored with a few git pulls and some configuration

applesauce•6/28/23, 10:14 PM

and that has automated backups

if the server gets big enough then you should move to a regular host or rent a dedi from hetzner or ovh cloud or smth, tho thats usually for servers with hundreds of players daily

elixirnode does include a mysql db with their plans

Lunaiskey•6/28/23, 10:25 PM

ive used them before

Lunaiskey•6/28/23, 10:25 PM

if a host doesnt include a mysql db then its not worth even thinking about

Lunaiskey•6/28/23, 10:25 PM

its like a bare minimum requirement for hosting
