Snapshots every 15 minutes, kept offsite. The last seven days stay at full granularity, then weekly out to three months — so a corrupted world or a bad plugin update costs you minutes, and a problem you only notice in month two is still recoverable. Restore the whole server, or browse a snapshot and pull back one file.
Included free on all plans
Your community already lives in Discord, so the bot works there: check whether the server is up, see who's online, and run a Spark report to find what's causing lag — without anyone opening the panel or filing a ticket.
Spark profiling built in
Whitelist, kick and ban from the web panel instead of the console. Hand a moderator the permissions they need through subusers and they never touch your credentials or your server files.
No console access required

Competitor information from each provider’s own pricing pages, reviewed August 2026. A dash means we could not verify that detail — not that the provider lacks it. Prices are undiscounted monthly USD list prices for a comparable 6 GB plan, excluding promotions and first-order discounts.
I've loved this service since I left my old host. I never found a decent provider until this one. They have amazing support and have never let me down, even when I've had serious issues. Their plans are very affordable and for the quality you get I don't think anything beats it. I've used their service for around 4 years now and will continue to be a loyal customer.
Service and customer support? Fantastic. I've never had a single issue with my server they haven't been able to help with. The servers are always running well and their customer support is equally as good — quick, helpful, patient and most importantly very transparent. If there are any issues, they will most definitely be there to help you.
Best company hands down. Their support team is friendly, fast, and incredibly helpful — especially through Discord where you can easily open a ticket. They offer features that some competitors charge extra for, and they genuinely help with server issues without any hassle.
Been with DedicatedMC for just under a year now and have yet to have an issue. I've never had problems with downtime or their support — it's by far the best in the space. They reply almost instantly and are always happy to help.
