Managed game server hosting

Fast game servers, run for you

Performant, managed game servers — Minecraft (Paper, Folia, Velocity) and more. Mods, backups, anti-DDoS and a web console included. We keep the metal, the JVM and the security; you keep control of your world and your gameplay.

This is hosting built as a managed service: one dashboard, one invoice, a web console with RCON and SFTP — without ever opening an SSH session.

Who it’s for

• Minecraft community admins — you want a smooth server for your players, without running Linux or the JVM. The Pro tier holds an active community.
• Multi-server networks — you link several backends behind a proxy. The multi-backend Signature tier unlocks the Suite discount.
• Gaming events — you spin up a server for an event that absorbs spikes. The Essential tier is enough, and you scale up when you need to.

What’s managed

Responsibilities are split clearly and in writing:

• We manage: the metal, the JVM flags (Aikar) and L3/L4/L7 anti-DDoS.
• We manage: backups, the Velocity proxy config and the plugin update channel.
• We manage: the web console, RCON, SFTP and monitoring.
• You manage: your world content, plugin choices and gameplay.
• Shared: modpack tuning (optional, via our IT support).

Features included

• Low latency: NVMe SSD, high-clock CPUs, Folia/Paper tuning
• Anti-DDoS included at the network and application levels
• Automatic backups, restorable in one click from the dashboard
• One-click mod/plugin install and updates (Paper, Fabric, Forge)
• Multi-backend Velocity proxy on the Pro and Signature tiers
• Full web console + RCON + SFTP, no SSH
• Auto-restart and uptime monitoring
• Free migration from Aternos, Apex or another host

The Essential, Pro and Signature tiers, with their published prices and quotas, are detailed in the table below.

Security included

Every Kovant game server is isolated in its own container, protected against DDoS at the network level, and backed up regularly. The console and SFTP replace SSH access, the metal is patched continuously, and monitoring runs in the background. You keep control of your world; we keep the infrastructure hardened and current.

Frequently asked questions

Which Minecraft versions are supported?

Java and Bedrock (via Geyser) are supported, on Paper, Folia, Spigot and Velocity for networks. Forge and Fabric modpacks install in one click.

How many players can my server hold?

It depends on the tier, your mods and your gameplay. Each tier shows a recommended slot range; for a large network, we size it together.

Is anti-DDoS really included?

Yes, on every tier, at the network and application levels, with automatic mitigation. It is not a paid add-on.

How do backups and rollback work?

Backups run automatically at your tier’s cadence, restorable in one click from the dashboard. The Signature tier adds an off-site copy.

Can you host games other than Minecraft?

Yes — Valheim, Terraria, Rust and others are possible on the Pro tier and above. Tell us the game and we’ll confirm the sizing.

Can I migrate my existing server without losing anything?

Yes. Our migration package pulls your world and plugins from Aternos, Apex or your current host, then switches over with no data loss.
