How much RAM do I need?
For 2 to 5 friends, 2GB is enough. For 6 to 10 players with mods, choose 4GB. You can always upgrade later without losing your world.
Can I upgrade my plan later?
Yes. Upgrade from your dashboard at any time. Your world, plugins, and settings carry over.
What happens if I cancel?
Your server stops and your world is kept for 30 days. You can resubscribe anytime within that window to pick up where you left off.
After you choose a plan you will approve the subscription on PayPal. Read how payment works at https://novacrafthost.com/blog/how-novacrafthost-payment-works
Subscriptions are billed monthly via PayPal and can be cancelled anytime. Cancel anytime, your worlds stay backed up for 14 days so you can come back or download your files.

Pricing questions
Can I cancel my Minecraft server anytime?
Yes. Billing is monthly through PayPal with no contract. When you cancel, your server goes offline but your world is kept for 14 days, so you can reactivate and pick up where you left off or download your files first.
Are there any setup fees or hidden costs?
No. The monthly price is the whole price: backups, the control panel, your server address and AI Commands are all included. There are no setup fees, no paid add-ons and no player-slot limits.
What is auto-sleep and does it cost me anything?
When nobody has played for about 30 minutes, your server takes a nap. Your world is untouched and waking it from the dashboard takes about a minute. It's how we keep flat prices fair instead of charging you for empty hours.
Do you support Bedrock (phones, consoles, Windows)?
Yes. Every plan can run either a Java server (Paper, Fabric, Forge, Purpur, Vanilla) or a Bedrock server that players on phones, tablets, consoles and Windows 10/11 Edition can join.
Can I change plans later?
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade from the dashboard at any time; you confirm the new price with PayPal and the server restarts on the new plan with your world intact.
What are AI Commands?
Type what you want in plain English, like "give everyone a diamond sword and make it day", and the AI writes the real Minecraft commands. You review them before they run, in the web console or in game with /ai. Included on every plan.
