Apex Hosting
Pros
- + Unusually transparent per-site hardware specs for a game host
- + Minecraft-aware management: one-click modpacks, version switching, FTP and MySQL
- + 22 locations across NA, EU, APAC, South America and the Middle East
- + DDoS protection and offsite backups included on all plans
- + 24/7 live chat support with Minecraft-specialist staff
Cons
- - No published uptime SLA despite uptime marketing claims
- - Standard plans share CPU; dedicated vCores only on the pricier EX Series
- - First-month discount pricing flatters the real recurring cost
- - No published player-slot sizing guidance per tier
Psychz Networks
Pros
- + Sixteen cities on four continents — Johannesburg, Sao Paulo, Mumbai, and Moscow on one account, which almost no competitor offers
- + DDoS mitigation is a core competency: bundled filtering on every dedicated server, tiers to 500 Gbps, fourteen scrubbing points, and remote protection via reverse proxy without needing an ASN
- + Public catalogue of 158 priced plans — no quote-form gate; VMs from $4/month and hourly from $0.0011
- + S3-compatible object storage with zero egress charges and immutable object lock included
- + Service commitment with real teeth: 99.9% network uptime and 5% credit per half hour of outage up to a full month's fee
- + Own facilities and network since 2014 (hosting since 2001) — an operating company, not a reseller shell
Cons
- - All payments non-refundable (continuous backup excepted); claims expire after one calendar year; Texas law with California arbitration
- - Usage policy reserves a discretionary takedown right over otherwise legal content; adult-content permission is a 2015 forum answer, not policy
- - Support and provisioning reviews are genuinely mixed despite the 15-minute response promise
- - Bandwidth is 'unmetered' under an unpublished fair-use threshold
- - EU footprint thinner than US/Asia; documentation and control panel are functional rather than polished
