Choose your Minecraft Server Installation Version.
4 Versions to Choose From During Purchase
Minecraft has become very popular due to its huge online communities and loads of mods that exist for it. Many people play this on public servers, but private servers are now more popular for players that want their own isolated world. This can have its own rules and just be used with your own gaming friends.
A Minecraft VPS (virtual private server) is a much more cost effective solution than using a bare metal server. Each VPS has its own virtualized environment, that is allocated its own set of resources. Because these environments are shared across a larger server, they are much cheaper.

Hippo Minecraft FAQ’s
Here are some answers to Frequently Asked Questions.
Is a Hippo Minecraft setup instantly?
Unlike shared hosting, there is a bit of work we need to do in our end in order to provision your Hippo Minecraft. The time this takes depends on the options you have chosen on your account. We can usually have your account ready for action in between 4-12 hours, and we will keep you fully informed of the process.
Will I need a domain name for my Hippo Minecraft?
Most Minecraft users use the IP address to connect to their server. You can however purchase a domain name and use this and we can help you configure your DNS in order to get this to work correctly.
Does my Hippo Minecraft come with SSH access?
Yes, your VPS comes with complete root SSH access. You can also access the command line from your portal using our VNC console.
This is used at your own risk and we recommend you backup your server instance before using the SSH terminal.
Do I need to have knowledge setting up servers to Hippo Minecraft
You will need some knowledge of setting up Minecraft Servers on Linux – or not be afraid of trying to do it yourself.
There are some great guides within the Minecraft community.
Whilst we look after all the technical aspects of the server, this is not a managed service and you are entirely responsible for the installed content and its operation.
What happens if I use up all of my storage space?
First of all, this is very unlikely as all our plans have generous storage space.
As you run out of disk space your VPS will not be able to complete all it’s tasks properly and you will start to get errors.
Don’t worry though, you can always upgrade to a service with more storage space, and in some instances, you can add extra space.
Just contact our support team here and we will be happy to discuss your options with you.
Do you offer a backup service?
Yes. During the sign-up process you’ll be able to order back up services for your server.
We will automatically back up everything once a day and these can be restored by contacting our support team, who can get you up and running.
If you do not choose a backup option, it is up to you to secure your data, or you can purchase one of our Hippo Care Plans and we will mange this for you.
What billing cycles do you offer?
On most of our products we offer monthly, annual or 3 year billing cycles.
In most cases, the longer the billing cycle, the more money you save.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards, direct debit and more than 50 different cryptocurrency coins.
We are also able to accept BACS payments by arrangement for annual or 3 yearly billing cycles only.
