How it works

From nothing to a world your friends can join

  1. Pick the game and region

    Start with Vanilla, Paper, a loader, or a tested modpack. Germany is live now; US machines are open for pre-order.

  2. Choose the machine

    Tell us how many friends are coming. We recommend a size that fits your game, and you can always go bigger.

  3. Pay and play

    Pay, and your world starts building. The dashboard shows the progress, then hands you the console, backups, files, worlds, and player controls.

  4. Send your friends the address

    One address, yours for as long as you play. Friends paste it into Multiplayer and they are in.

One dashboard

One dashboard. No separate panel.

The console, backups, players and crossplay live in the same place you pay. No second login, no control panel to learn.

Watch it start, and talk to it

A live console in the browser. See the server boot, see who joins, and type commands without installing anything.

Loot chests

A free chest for every new account

Sign up and it lands in your inventory, sealed. Inside: 10% off, 25% off or a free Hotdog month. No purchase, no code.

How chests work

Clock speed

One core runs your world. We put a floor under it.

A Minecraft server ticks its world on one main thread, so the speed of a single core decides how it holds up when the farms and the players pile in. We publish a floor instead of a chip name, and every new machine has to clear it before it takes a single server.

How we measure the floor

Frequently asked questions

How fast can I get a Minecraft server online?
Pick a plan, game, region, and address, and we build it in minutes. You manage the console, files, players, and backups from one dashboard.
Where are the servers located?
In Germany, for low latency across Europe. US machines are open for pre-order and go live within 4 days of your order. You pay nothing until we start building yours.
Can I rent a Minecraft server monthly?
Yes. Choose monthly or annual billing (annual saves up to two months) and upgrade to a larger size at any time.
Is there a free plan?
No. loothost is paid, managed hosting with off-site backups and support. Your first purchase comes with a 72-hour, no-questions-asked refund.
What happens to my world if I cancel?
Your server is suspended and your world is kept for at least 30 days. Resubscribe and it comes right back.
