MCProHosting
Pros
- + Minecraft-first platform with one-click modpacks, Java+Bedrock switching, full FTP, and 24/7 player-friendly support
- + Backed by the Nitrado/Marbis group (~50 data centers at acquisition) — genuine infrastructure depth behind the brand
- + DDoS protection included on all plans, with historical Cloudflare partnership; unlimited storage/slots claims on Minecraft tiers
- + Entry pricing is competitive on the merged Apex platform (from $5.99–$8/month) with a seven-day trial historically offered
Cons
- - The brand is being retired — new and existing servers migrate to Apex Hosting; buyers effectively purchase Apex
- - No published credit-backed uptime SLA; support is 24/7 but without response-time remedies
- - Spec transparency is thin: per-plan CPU, storage I/O, and network limits are marketing adjectives
- - Introductory pricing jumps at renewal ($6 to $8; $78 to $104 at the top end); customer-count claims are unverifiable
GameServers.com
Pros
- + 36 locations across 20 countries and six continents — unusually wide city-level coverage
- + Two decades of continuous operation with an enterprise arm serving studios and publishers
- + DDoS filtering on Cisco/Brocade hardware, guaranteed memory, daily backups (Minecraft), 24/7 support, instant activation
- + One-vendor setup for game servers plus TeamSpeak/Ventrilo voice
- + Invoice-friendly procurement and established billing processes for larger communities
Cons
- - Catalogue has shrunk to roughly 11 titles — ARK, DayZ and Conan Exiles are gone
- - Dated control panel and no custom JAR support for Minecraft (no Paper/Purpur/proxy setups)
- - Per-slot pricing sits above modern rivals; slots are admission caps, not hardware allocations
- - No public corporate activity since February 2021 and no published uptime SLA
- - Inconsistent founding story across company properties (2003 vs 2006 vs the '1999' marketing claim)
