Introducing Nodecraft Lite - Budget Server Hosting
Our new product, Nodecraft Lite, offers the same high-quality server hosting experience at lower costs.
Unlike Nodecraft Pro game servers that run 24/7, Nodecraft Lite Servers are only online when players actively use them.

SAVE & SWAP TO ANY OTHER GAME, FOR NO ADDITIONAL COST.Low Latency (No Lag) Servers with DDoS Protection
We're gamers too, and we know that nothing is more frustrating than lag and crashes.
Unlike other Don't Starve Together server hosting providers, we make sure not to overburden our servers-- that means we maintain an average of only 12 customers per device. This allows your server to access more CPU cores, disk IOs, and RAM. More power per user means your server will have protection against the common headaches of lag and crashes.
- 4.5+ GHz Processor (CPU)
Our servers primarily use an AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X or equivalent.
- 192GB DDR5 RAM
Error correcting and highly clocked, this DDR5 RAM is deployed for high speed performance and stability.
- Enterprise Grade Solid State Drives (SSD)
We use Enterprise SSDs to power all customer game servers.
- Enterprise Grade Hard Disks
We host all game servers on SSDs, but backups, and other files not required by your game server are run on standard disks.
- DDoS Protection and High Performance Network
DDoS attacks are a constant threat to game servers. Our network is built for network attack resilience.
- Linux OS
We've built our entire infrastructure on top of a Linux ecosystem to focus on performance, security, and stability.

Customer Reviews:
Still on the fence? Here's some nice stuff people have said about us.
"The Ultimate Game-Changer for DST PlayersI've been using Nodecraft for my dedicated "Don't Starve Together" server, and it's been an absolute game-changer. The control panel is super intuitive, making it easy to tweak the server however I want, and the option to choose the server location has massively cut down on latency when gaming with friends from around the world. In nearly two weeks, the only hiccup I had was a minor issue with my server's visibility, which their top-notch support resolved in under five minutes—seriously, I'd give their customer service a 10/5 if I could. Since switching to Nodecraft, my gameplay has been so smooth that I can't stop playing; I’ve gone from stressing about lag to just enjoying and improving my game. If you're into DST and want a seamless gaming experience, Nodecraft is an absolute must."
"I've been using Nodecraft for multiple Minecraft servers for a year now. The support I've gotten over the years is astounding. I have always recommended them to anyone looking to host their own game servers."
"The guys at Nodecraft certainly know what they are doing. They make setting up modpacks and server instances as easy as clicking a button. It makes me want to be a part of it."
