Need Someone To Actually Test This Thing
Right, so I've built this custom management system with one-click installers for mods, plugins, and worlds and honestly? I need someone who actually knows their stuff to give it a proper thrashing and tell me if it's any good (or if I've completely cocked it up). If you're a Minecraft server nerd who enjoys breaking things and can give honest feedback without sounding like a LinkedIn post, that'd be brilliant. Bonus points if you find bugs I didn't even know were possible. See what I need below.

Why Separate RAM, CPU & Storage Pricing?
Every resource you order is physically dedicated to your server only — not shared, oversold, or throttled. Each server runs in an isolated Docker container with dedicated resources allocated from our hardware pool, making it physically impossible to oversell. We price each component separately so you can build the perfect configuration for your needs and only pay for what you actually use. Plus, RAM, CPU, and storage can each be upgraded or downgraded independently anytime with zero downtime.

Why Our Infrastructure Stands Out
Built by a gamer who understands lag, downtime, and poor support aren’t acceptable. This infrastructure delivers what I’d want as a player.
Guaranteed uptime backed by enterprise infrastructure. Automatic failover ensures your Minecraft server stays online.
True UK hosting in Maidenhead & Gosport. Lightning-fast response times for smooth, lag-free gameplay across the country.
100% NVMe SSD storage - 10x faster than traditional HDDs. Instant world loading and zero lag during resource-heavy operations.
Fully automated deployment. Your Minecraft server launches in under 60 seconds - no waiting days for manual provisioning.
Enterprise-grade DDoS mitigation included free. Your server stays online even during large-scale attacks.
True UK hosting in Maidenhead & Gosport. Not European servers pretending to be UK - actual British datacenters.
Built by a Gamer, For Gamers
After 5+ years managing game servers for my own communities, I got tired of oversold “shared CPU” plans, HDD storage causing lag, and support that didn’t understand gaming. So I built what I’d actually want to use — leveraging AI to handle operations while I focus on delivering the performance gamers deserve.
