Server software

Folia server hosting

Folia is Paper rebuilt for regionized multithreading: instead of one main thread doing all the work, the world is split into regions that tick in parallel across your CPU cores. It is the pick for big, spread-out communities where players scatter across the map and a single thread becomes the bottleneck.

Folia takes Paper's engine and splits the world into independently ticking regions, each running on its own thread. A build far from spawn no longer competes with spawn for the same core. That makes it the loader of choice for large survival communities, anarchy maps, and any server where players spread out across the world instead of clustering in one town.

The honest part: plugins must explicitly declare Folia support, so the catalog is smaller than Paper's, but everything in it genuinely works multithreaded. We install and test every Folia server on our hardware before it goes on sale, and you run yours from one dashboard with a live console and off-site backups on every plan. When your community outgrows the box, an upgrade path keeps the world.

Why run Folia here

  • Folia's whole point is spreading load across CPU cores, so every Folia server we sell is installed and tested on our own hardware first.
  • A plugin without Folia support announces itself in the logs, and the live console in your dashboard puts those logs one click away.
  • Off-site backups come with every plan, so running a newer, more ambitious loader never gambles your world.

Frequently asked questions

Will my Paper plugins work on Folia?
Only if they explicitly declare Folia support. Folia changes how the server ticks the world, so plugins built around a single main thread will not load until their developers add support. The compatible catalog is smaller than Paper's but growing, and everything in it actually runs multithreaded. Check a plugin's page for Folia support before you commit.
Should I pick Folia or Paper?
Pick Paper if you want the widest plugin catalog and your players mostly share the same areas. Pick Folia if your community spreads across a huge map and you want the server to put more of its cores to work. If a plugin you cannot live without does not support Folia yet, Paper is the safer starting point.
Can we switch to a different pack later?
Yes. Your dashboard can switch the server to another pack or server type. Take a backup first and the old world stays restorable.
Are backups included?
Yes. Off-site cloud backups are included on every plan, on a configurable hourly to weekly cadence, with up to 20 kept.
