How Are Your Prices This Low?
By marketing via creators, we give back to the community, and keep our costs down
You've probably noticed, our prices at Kinetic are low. Like, really low. That naturally raises the question: "Why are you so cheap? What's the catch?" The short answer: there isn't one. We offer everything the other hosts do, feature packed custom control panel, high uptime, powerful servers, and fast, helpful support. Our public node stats, reviews, and clear server specs back that up. And if you're wondering if this is sustainable, check our yearly transparency reports. We show exactly how we earn and spend our money.
So why are most other hosts so expensive? Simple: marketing and profit margins. You might've just come across Kinetic, but you've probably seen some hosts names everywhere. That's because they spend millions on ads each year to stay visible and drown out smaller providers. To cover that, they overcharge.
We market differently. While you might see some ads for Kinetic, we mostly work with mod makers, modpack creators, and content creators via our Partner Program. People who shape the games we host. It's not just effective, it gives back to the community by helping fund their passion projects. And beyond that, we rely heavily on word of mouth. Because when you build a great, affordable service, people spread the word for you.

Enjoy Low Latency Minecraft Server Hosting
With over 15 global server locations, you and your players can enjoy the best ping no matter where you are.
All of our Minecraft hosting locations are backed by premium gaming networks and DDoS protection to ensure a stable and lag-free experience. Plus, you can swap your server location at any time, giving you full flexibility if your community grows or moves.
Why Choose Kinetic For Minecraft?
Let’s see what our Minecraft server hosting offers, and how our price stacks up to other hosts.
Our Minecraft servers work off a simple small package system. So we compared our main packages 8 GB and 16 GB to other hosts’ 8 GB and 16 GB plans. We found that with most hosts, we’d have to go all the way down to a 2 GB plan to find a price even close to our 8 GB package.
8 GB Minecraft plan at $0.87/GB vs. $2.81–$4.43/GB with other hosts
Change game anytime (many hosts lock you in or charge a fee)
Split tool: Split unused RAM, CPU, and storage into additional servers instantly
Huge feature set built for gaming: custom workspaces, client-side mod scanning, mod & plugin managers, crash manager, and more - all built directly into the panel.

Advanced human support when you need it. No AI, no bots. Ask any question, no matter how big or small.
