Customer Reviews
"I've been using Nodecraft for nearly two years now and it's amazing. The servers are great, I don't think I've ever experienced downtime, and their new Lite servers are great for people that can't play all the time or are looking to save money. The customer support is fantastic as well. All around, just a great service."
"Every person I've spoken to has been kind, knowledgeable, and assurant
Server operation, CDNs, Customer Relationships, coding, operability—not everyone understands the lengths their customer reps go to, or the degree of education each of them have to help maintain so many awesome game servers. But for me, it was that they WANT to do it that sold me.
Look, you could try to host yourself or find another, maybe more affordable service—but there isn't one that can hold a candle to Nodecraft's knowledgeable community, its 'how-to' guides, or their representatives... who also—surprise, surprise—game! It's like Valhalla for gamers here, so come on!
I HIGHLY Recommend!"

You can automatically upgrade or downgrade your Nodecraft Pro Server plan at any time via the billing dashboard, which you will have access to as soon as you log in.
While in Open Beta, if you want to change between Nodecraft Pro and Nodecraft Lite, you will have to cancel your current subscription and create a subscription with the other product.
You can learn more about the process in this article. -

Do my servers run 24/7?
Nodecraft offers two products: Nodecraft Pro and Nodecraft Lite. Nodecraft Pro servers are able to be online 24/7 where Nodecraft Lite servers hibernate automatically when unused.
-
Do servers include DDoS Protection?
Our data centers have both external and internal packet scrubbing to protect against large-scale attacks against each server.
-
Do you provide dedicated IPs?
Nodecraft offers two products: Nodecraft Pro and Nodecraft Lite. Nodecraft Pro servers are issued a dedicated IP address that will only be used by one customer at a time and will only change if the server is archived, the service is ended, or in the rare case that a server requires changing nodes.
We also provide a DNS Hostname for all server subscriptions in Nodecraft Pro and Nodecraft Lite, which can be used interchangeably in most games.All servers are provisioned with an IP, separate from any other game server and are never actively shared between customers.
-
What is an instance?
Nodecraft allows users to save and swap between games and modpacks by utilizing the server instances available to each plan. These instances can be thought of like save slots that are able to hold a game server's files in a saved state for you to pop back into your server to play later.
Learn more about Instances and how to use them.
-

Nodecraft does not limit player slots on your server, so you can have as many player slots as the game allows!
