Modded Minecraft Hosting

Modded Minecraft server hosting relaunching soon.

Hosting for Forge, NeoForge, Fabric and Quilt modpacks only, run by one person in Bastrop, Texas. We're moving to new hardware, so ordering is closed for now and nobody is being charged. Join the launch list and we'll email you when servers open. The crash log analyzer and setup guides are free in the meantime.

Planned Launch Prices.

These are the plans and prices we plan to launch with. Every plan gets the same panel, backups and support. You only pick how much RAM your modpack needs.

We're relaunching on new hardware.

Ordering is closed for now — join the launch list and we'll email you when servers open. Nobody is charged until then. The prices below are what we plan to charge at launch, and before ordering opens we'll publish the CPU, storage and server location, so you can check them before you pay.

Every plan will include

  • One-click CurseForge and Modrinth modpack installs
  • Nightly off-site backups, with a restore tested every month
  • On-demand backups you take and restore yourself
  • Full panel access: console, file manager and SFTP
  • Custom subdomain: yourname.dsnservers.com
  • A MySQL database
  • Free migration from your current host
  • Support from the owner, by email and Discord
  • Planned location: US East, confirmed before launch (how location affects ping)

CPU, storage and the final location for each plan are announced before ordering opens. Player counts are rough guides from our RAM calculator and depend on your modpack, view distance and how spread out your players are. A 300-mod pack with 15 or more players spread out needs more than 12 GB, which is more than our biggest plan.
These are the prices we plan to charge at launch: nothing is charged until ordering opens. Prices in USD, billed monthly. Upgrade or downgrade any time. New customers will be able to email us within 7 days of setup for a full refund of the first month (refund policy).

Hear When We Open: The Minecraft Waitlist.

This is the launch list, our waitlist for modded Minecraft servers. Leave your email and we'll write once, when servers open. We don't have a date to promise yet. Tell us the plan and pack you have in mind if you like: it helps us size the new hardware. Hosting a modpack somewhere else in the meantime? Once we open, we'll move your world over for free. Want a Project Zomboid server instead? We don't sell those, but there's a separate waitlist on our Project Zomboid page.

Prefer email, or the form isn't showing? Write to hello@dsnservers.com with the plan and pack you have in mind, and we'll add you by hand.

// what you get

Built for Modded. Nothing Else.

One thing, done properly. This is what every plan will come with when ordering opens.

Modpack Crashed? Paste the Log.

Our free crash log analyzer reads Forge, NeoForge, Fabric and Quilt crash reports and latest.log files and tells you what broke and how to fix it, in plain English: wrong Java version, out of memory, missing dependencies, client-only mods, mixin conflicts and more. No account needed, and it works whoever hosts your server.

Frequently Asked.

Short answers to the things people ask before they sign up.

When can I order a server?
Not yet. We're moving DSN to new hardware, and ordering stays closed until it's ready and tested, so nobody is charged for a server we can't run. We don't have a date to promise. Join the launch list and we'll email you when servers open, with the final hardware, location and prices. Joining is free and doesn't commit you to anything.
Which mod loaders and modpacks can I run?
Forge, NeoForge, Fabric and Quilt, on any Minecraft version they support. You'll be able to load a full CurseForge or Modrinth modpack with the one-click installer, or upload your own server pack and mod files through the file manager or SFTP. Want to run one yourself in the meantime? Our guide on how to make a modded Minecraft server walks through it.
Can I switch or update my modpack?
Yes, at any time. Install a different pack or a newer version of your current one from the panel and restart. Take a backup first: modpack updates can remove blocks or items from your world, and worlds can't be downgraded once they've been opened on a newer release. Our guide to updating a modpack server without losing your world covers what to keep and what to replace.
What happens if I outgrow my plan?
Email us and we'll move you up. Your world, mods, settings and subdomain stay exactly as they are. Only the RAM, CPU and storage limits change. Downgrades work the same way.
Do you back up my world?
Every night, to off-site storage. Once a month we'll restore a real backup to a fresh server to confirm it works. You'll also be able to take and restore your own backups from the panel at any time, which is worth doing before any modpack update or big change.
How much RAM does my modpack need?
Roughly 3–5 GB for light packs, 8 GB for most mid-size Forge and NeoForge packs, and 12 GB for kitchen-sink packs like All The Mods or GregTech with a small group. Our RAM calculator works it out from your mod count and player count, or email us the pack name and we'll tell you the smallest plan that runs it well.
Which Java version does my server need?
It depends on the Minecraft version: Java 25 for 26.1 and newer, Java 21 for 1.20.5 to 1.21.x, Java 17 for 1.18 to 1.20.4, Java 16 for 1.17 and Java 8 for 1.16.5 and older. Our Minecraft Java version chart lists the exceptions and the Java for every pack we cover.
How do I connect?
Your server gets an address like yourname.dsnservers.com. Launch the modpack in your launcher (CurseForge, Modrinth, Prism or similar), go to Multiplayer, click Add Server, paste the address and join. Share the same address with your players. No port number needed.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If your first server isn't working for you, email us within 7 days of it being set up and we'll refund the full first month. The full terms are in our refund policy. Plans are month to month with no contract, so you can cancel any time and your server stays online through the end of the period you've paid for.
Where will the servers be?
Our first servers ran in a data center in northern Virginia (US East), a good spot for players on the East Coast and in the Midwest. We plan to relaunch in US East too, but the location isn't final yet: we'll confirm the data center before ordering opens, along with the hardware. Our server location page explains how distance affects ping and how to test it yourself, so you can check the location against where your players are before you pay.
How do your prices compare with the big hosts?
Our planned prices aren't the cheapest per gigabyte: BisectHosting and Shockbyte's budget plans cost less. Our comparison of Apex, BisectHosting and Shockbyte lists their current prices, CPUs, panels and backups with sources, and says where each one beats us.
