Picking between Apex Hosting and Supercraft for Minecraft
Where Apex Hosting is genuinely strong
Premium-positioned Minecraft host with the most polished one-click mod and plugin installer in the space. Free dedicated IP, free subdomain, and 24/7 live-chat support are standard rather than upsells. Strong fit for non-technical admins who want a guided checkout, in-panel modpack browsing, and human support without escalation queues.
What Minecraft hosters tell us they switched away from
Entry pricing is not exposed without progressing through checkout, so comparison shopping requires account creation. The custom Apex panel is polished but proprietary, so workflows do not transfer if you migrate elsewhere later. Larger RAM tiers price-creep above competitors once you scale past 4-6 GB. Some users report frequent upsell prompts in the panel and during checkout flow.
Minecraft-specific: what actually matters on the server side
Minecraft server smoothness depends more on single-thread CPU clock and dedicated cores than total RAM. A 4 GB plan on a high-clock dedicated core will out-tick an 8 GB plan on a shared/burstable core every time. Supercraft pins each plan to a guaranteed CPU slice (not burst credits) and gives you direct startup-flag and JAR-version control without the panel intermediating. For modded MC, you can swap forge/fabric versions and edit launch flags in seconds via SFTP.
Move regions like changing a setting
If your community moves from EU to NA, you swap the region in one click — no refund, no re-purchase, no IP change for whitelist purposes. Apex Hosting requires cancelling and starting fresh.
Edit files like you’d edit them on your own machine
Full FTP, full file manager, no “premium tier” upsell to access your own Minecraft configs. Run the mods you want, edit the configs you want, backup whenever you want.
7-day refund, plain English
If it’s not what you expected, you get your money back in the first 7 days. No pro-rating clauses, no “service usage credits”, no support ticket bouncing.
Common questions from Apex Hosting customers
Can I migrate my existing Apex Hosting Minecraft world?
Yes. Download your save / world directory from Apex Hosting via their FTP or backup feature, then upload it into Supercraft via our file manager before first start. Most Minecraft migrations take under 10 minutes.
Why is Supercraft cheaper for the same slot count?
Because we don’t break out the things you assumed were included — DDoS, file access, region swap, automated backups — into add-on tiers. The price you see on the plan card is the price you pay.
Do you support the same Minecraft mods / mod loaders that Apex Hosting does?
Yes. Minecraft mod support is community-driven, not host-specific. As long as the mod runs on a self-hosted dedicated server, it runs on Supercraft. We give you direct file access to install whatever the modding scene supports.
What if my server isn’t fast enough?
Upgrade in-place — slots, RAM, CPU priority — without losing your world. If the upgraded plan still doesn’t fit, the 7-day money-back applies to the whole subscription, not just the upgrade.
