Vanilla, Paper, Fabric, Forge or NeoForge
Pick the server software from the Settings tab and switch whenever you like. The panel reinstalls the server and keeps your world, and it takes a backup first.
Five server types
Vanilla for the plain game, Paper for plugins, and Fabric, Forge or NeoForge for mods.
Any Minecraft version
Track the latest release, or pin the version your mods or your players need.
Mods that fit your server
The mod browser hides mods built for a different loader, so you only install what will load.
Server type
Install a whole modpack in one click
Pick a pack from Modrinth or CurseForge and the panel sets the server type and Minecraft version it needs, installs its mods and restarts the server. It takes a backup first.
Modrinth and CurseForge
Browse packs from both platforms in the Modpacks tab and install any version that comes with a server file.
Change the pack version
Move to a newer or older release of your pack from the same tab.
Single mods and plugins too
Add mods and plugins one at a time from Modrinth. Removing a pack returns you to a plain server with your world kept.
Change server.properties without opening the file
Difficulty, game mode, PvP, the whitelist, view distance and the rest of server.properties are laid out in the panel, each with a line on what it does. Changes apply on the next restart.
Grouped and explained
Settings are split into General, Access, World and Performance, so you can find what you need.
Op, whitelist, kick and ban
Manage players from the Players tab, and the panel sends the matching command to the server.
The right Java
Java follows your Minecraft version automatically. Pick one yourself if a modpack needs an older release.

12Automatic Cloud Backups
Your Minecraft worlds, settings and mod configuration are backed up to the cloud automatically. Keep up to 20 backups per server and lock the ones that matter so they are never cleared to make room.
From the Backups tab in the LOW.MS control panel you can restore any backup in one click, download a copy to your PC, or take a manual backup before a big change.
- Automatic scheduled backups, stored off your server
- Lock important backups so they are never overwritten
- One-click restore, or download any backup to your PC
- Included with every Minecraft server, no extra cost
Backups include your worlds and mod settings. Locked ones are never deleted to make room.

What people say after they have moved a server to us.
Read our reviews on TrustpilotTop choice in my list
Out of all hosting providers. This is by far the top choice in my list. Simple UI with a mod manager included making it hassle-free when downloading specific mods.
Jose, Trustpilot review
Very helpful and responsive
I opened a ticket for help migrating my server from a different host. The game is Palworld and it isn't a simple process, they did it for me! Very helpful and responsive.
Justin, Trustpilot review
Insanely reliable service
Their prices are pretty cheap and I thought they'd cut back on performance but damn was I wrong. The service has been insanely reliable and the Support Team are on their own level!

What is Minecraft
Minecraft is the game that kicked off the whole server hosting industry, and it's still the one we get more orders for than anything else. Whether you're running a small vanilla survival world for a few friends or a heavily modded community server with dozens of plugins, the hosting requirements vary a lot, which is why we offer plans from 2 GB all the way up to 24 GB of RAM. We support every major server type: Paper (our recommendation for most people), Vanilla, Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and you can switch between them from the panel at any time. Paper gives you the best performance out of the box and runs the full Bukkit/Spigot plugin ecosystem. If you're into modpacks, Forge handles the legacy packs while NeoForge is where most new modpack development has moved, and you can install packs from Modrinth or CurseForge straight from the panel. Every Minecraft server comes with DDoS protection, automatic cloud backups you can restore with one click, full file access through our control panel at panel.low.ms, and 24/7 support if you get stuck. We also offer a Latest CPU upgrade if you want guaranteed Ryzen 7950X or 9950X hardware, which makes a real difference for chunk generation and TPS on busy servers.
Money-back Guarantee
We are confident that you'll be happy with our service. If on the rare occasion there is a problem with your service, we will do our absolute best to get things working for you, or you can simply ask for your money back.
We have a full 5 day money-back guarantee on all our game server hosting. No questions asked.
