Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Budget and Premium Minecraft plans?

Premium hosting uses the faster Ryzen 9900X CPU (4.4/5.6GHz) with DDR5 memory for higher player counts and intensive servers. It features faster NVMe SSDs for improved chunk loading, plus free automatic daily backups and one-click modpack installation with 12,000+ packs. Budget uses Ryzen 5700X with DDR4.

How do I connect a domain to my server?

You can set up your own domain by following PebbleHost's DNS configuration guide. All servers include the ability to create a free subdomain ending in ".my.pebble.host" through the game panel.

Is port forwarding required?

No, none of PebbleHost's services require port forwarding. The hosting company manages all networking aspects. Additional ports for plugins can be added with one click in the game panel.

How long does server setup take?

Services provision instantly upon payment confirmation. With payment methods like PayPal Balance or credit/debit cards, you should receive access within minutes.

What does Unmetered Disk Space mean?

This allows you to utilize unlimited storage space provided all files are essential to server operation, following PebbleHost's Fair Usage Policy.

Can I use custom modpacks or Forge/Fabric?

Yes, all services include full server file access. You can upload custom modpacks or JAR files through the game panel or select Custom JAR option. Forge, Fabric, and Paper are all supported.

Is MySQL included with Minecraft hosting?
