Prepaid game servers, VPS & domains by EmeraldHost
Slide 1 of 5: Minecraft Java Edition
One panel. Unlimited control.
Whether it is a game server, VPS, TeamSpeak or a domain: the customer panel manages all your servers and domains in one place. You see status and terms at a glance and control every setting in a few clicks, right in the browser, with no extra software.

Sunday evening ticket, answer after five minutes
Had a problem on a Sunday evening and figured I would wait until Monday. The answer was there in under five minutes.
Kai E. R.
Price is right
Price is right. I was at two other hosts before, here I pay less and get more RAM.
Tobias B.
Fast answer, sadly not possible
My ticket was answered within minutes. What I wanted was not possible, but at least they told me straight away.
Sinan
Good deals again and again
Good deals throughout the year. I have saved a fair bit on renewals twice already.
Hendrik
Server just keeps running
Server just keeps running. Been here over a year with Minecraft for about 40 people, not one outage.
MoritzHD
Server was there instantly
Server was there instantly. Paid and less than a minute later I was playing with my friends.
Jan-Ole
Good, I tuned the settings myself
The server is stable and support helps fast. I did have to adjust the default settings for my modpack though.
Timo W.
DayZ runs clean
DayZ runs clean, the tick rate holds even with 40 people on. My experience elsewhere was very different.
Ralf
Console right in the browser
Console right in the browser, I watch the logs run and can step in at once. No SSH needed.
Steffen
Put my own system on it
Put my own system on it and set everything up myself. That is exactly why I rent a VPS.
Arham
Just made it bigger
The project grew so I added more power in the panel. No new server and nothing to move.
Sarah B.
A backup saved me
An update had wrecked my configuration. Picked a backup, restored it, carried on.
Marina
The transfer worked
The transfer worked, moved two domains over from my old provider. No downtime, I only entered the auth code.
Andreas R.
Fair prices
Fair prices, no cheap first year and triple after that. It says what it costs.
Jonas T.
Pointed the domain at my server
Bought the domain and connected it to my game server. My people type a name now instead of an IP.
Anni
TeamSpeak for the clan
Rented TeamSpeak for the clan and it was online right away. Adding slots later was no trouble.
Keksmonster42
Set up in 2 minutes
Ordered, copied the address, done. I had expected a lot more work.
Sven
Cheaper than before with the same slots
I pay noticeably less for the same number of slots than at my old provider. The quality stayed the same.
Patrick H.
The prepaid thing is great
The prepaid thing is great. No subscription and no charge I forget about, I top up and renew when I want to.
Julien
Easy to use
Easy to use, even without prior knowledge. Console, backups and restart are right there, I never looked up a tutorial.
Lea M.
Good guides ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Good guides, I sorted two things out myself without even opening a ticket.
Ben H.
Really nice support
Really nice support, no canned replies and no queue. Somebody who actually thinks along writes back.
Marlon K.
Modpack with one click
Picked the modpack in the panel, installed, done. I used to upload all that over FTP.
Fabian G.
Very happy so far
Very happy so far. We have several game servers for our Discord and manage them all in one place.
Dennis K.
Rented a Palworld server
Rented a Palworld server in the evening and 10 minutes later six of us were on it. Set up nothing, it just ran.
Luca
Switched games, no problem
We were bored of Minecraft and moved to another game. Same server and the old world stayed saved.
Yannick B.
VPS for 1.5 years now
Had my VPS for about a year and a half now and cannot complain. It just runs.
Philipp A.
Locked out and back in within 10 minutes
I locked myself out completely while configuring. The rescue system had me back on the server within 10 minutes.
Nico
Firewall in the panel is great
Firewall in the panel is great, I just click the rules together. I used to need the docs every time.
Malte99
Good choice of systems
Good choice of systems and installing runs cleanly. One niche system I wanted was not there though.
Christoph W.
DNS is easy to set up
DNS is easy to set up, all records right in the panel. My changes went live quickly.
Melli
Very happy
Very happy. I manage twelve client domains here and see straight away what expires when.
Tom S.
The reminder came in time
An email came before it expired and renewing took two clicks. That way I lose no more domains.
Silas
Simply great!!
Simply great!! Even with twenty of us in there the connection stays stable and the sound is clean.
Nadine H.
Moved off the old server
Channels and permissions were quick to rebuild, support helped with the rest. Been running since.
