Infrastructure & Technology
Full transparency about the hardware, software, and systems powering your Minecraft server.
Transparency Notice
MineXHost shows exactly what runs your server, from the physical hardware to the software managing your world. Where this page names third-party providers, those are services we use, not formal partnerships.
Our Software, Built In-House
MineXHost built its own software instead of combining a third-party game panel, separate billing software and off-the-shelf server tools. Three pieces of software work together behind every server, and we wrote all three, so when something needs fixing we fix it ourselves instead of waiting on a vendor.
MineXEngine: The Launcher Inside Every Server
MineXEngine runs inside every MineXHost server. Its job is to get your server running and keep it running, so you never have to hunt for the right Java version, tweak memory settings or read a crash log to play with your friends.
Our QA Lab boots public CurseForge and Modrinth modpacks on each MineXEngine version and publishes the measured pass rate on the modpack test results page.
See MineXEngine at work
Every modpack needs its own loader, Minecraft version and Java. MineXEngine reads each one and sets it up to match.
Knows What You’re Running
Loader & Version DetectionMineXEngine works out which mod loader and Minecraft version your server uses on its own. Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, Quilt, Paper and Vanilla are all handled the same way, and so are hybrid servers that mix mods and plugins.
The Right Java, the Right Memory
Automatic TuningDifferent Minecraft versions need different versions of Java. MineXEngine picks the right one for you, from Java 8 for older packs up to Java 25, and sets up memory and performance settings to match your plan. There are no launch settings for you to manage.
Recovers From Crashes
Watching 24/7If your server crashes, MineXEngine notices straight away and brings it back up, even at 3am when nobody is awake. Your panel then shows a plain-English summary of what happened and what MineXEngine did about it, and says so clearly when something needs your attention.
Modpacks That Just Start
One-Click ModpacksRuns your modpack and fetches missing server files. Choose a modpack in the panel and MineXEngine starts it with everything set up: the right loader, the right Java and settings sized for your plan. More than 15,000 packs from CurseForge, Modrinth and FTB are one click away.
MineXConnect Live Stats
Included With MineXEngineMineXConnect is a small add-on that rides along with MineXEngine and sends live stats to your dashboard: your TPS and who’s online. TPS is your server’s frame rate; higher and steadier means less lag. It is built to step aside quietly if anything goes wrong rather than take your server down with it.
Always Getting Better
Tested on Real ModpacksOur own test lab keeps running MineXEngine against public modpacks from CurseForge and Modrinth, so we find problems with popular packs before you do.
Measured in Our QA Lab
Our QA Lab installs public CurseForge and Modrinth modpacks on test servers running MineXEngine and records whether each one starts. The figures below load live from the QA Lab. They are a measured rate, not a promise about any particular modpack.

MineXPanel: Your Server and Account in One Place
MineXPanel is the website you log in to. It is your game panel, your store and your account in one place, under one login. Everything below is included on every plan. See screenshots of the game panel.
Live Console
Control From Any BrowserWatch your server live, type commands, and start, stop or restart with one click. CPU, memory, TPS and players online sit right next to the console.
Files, Backups & Schedules
Your World Is SafeEdit configs in the browser, upload mods and worlds, and restore a deleted file from the recycle bin. Backups run automatically and restore in one click. Schedules handle nightly restarts, warnings and extra backups for you.
Modpacks, Mods & Plugins
Install in One ClickSearch CurseForge, Modrinth and more from inside the panel. Install a whole modpack, add single mods or plugins, or switch Minecraft version without touching a file.
Player Tools
Run Your CommunitySee who’s online, manage the whitelist, operators and bans, and check when your players are usually on so you can plan events and restarts around them.
Health at a Glance
Plain-English MonitoringLive graphs and a simple health check show when your server was laggy, short on memory or crashing, and for how long, instead of leaving you to dig through logs.
Team Access & Security
Your Account, ProtectedGive friends or staff their own login with only the permissions you choose. Protect your account with two-factor authentication, and manage your plan and payments on the same site.
MineXAgent: The Software on Every Machine
MineXAgent runs on every physical machine that hosts MineXHost servers. You never see it, but it is the reason your server stays separate, safe and up to date.
Your Server, Sealed Off
IsolationEvery server runs in its own sealed space with its own files, so no other customer’s server can reach yours. The panel talks to each machine over an encrypted connection.
A Firewall for Each Server
Network AccessEach server gets its own firewall that only lets it reach what a Minecraft server needs. Your panel shows anything that was blocked, and you can ask for more access when a mod genuinely needs it.
Malware Scanning
Checked AutomaticallyNew installs, uploaded files and a daily sweep are checked for known Minecraft malware, the kind that hides inside fake or hijacked mods. Scans run at low priority, so they don’t slow your game down.
Security Updates, No Restarts
Patched on a ScheduleSecurity fixes for each machine’s operating system are installed automatically in a quiet maintenance window. They are never applied while your server is installing or backing up, and your server is not restarted to apply them.
Updates With Zero Downtime
Your Server Keeps RunningWhen we improve MineXAgent itself, the update happens in the background. Your server keeps running and your players stay connected.
Fair Resources
Everyone Gets Their ShareMineXAgent keeps every server within its plan’s memory and CPU, so one busy neighbor can’t take what you’re paying for. It also takes care of your installs, files and backups on the machine.
How They Work Together
Here is what happens when you install a modpack, from the click to your friends joining.
- 1
You choose it in MineXPanel
Pick a modpack, or change your Minecraft version, in your game panel. The panel keeps you updated while it works.
- 2
MineXAgent prepares your server
The machine that hosts your server fetches the files, checks them, and puts them in your server’s own sealed space.
- 3
MineXEngine starts it up
MineXEngine picks the right loader, Java and memory settings and starts your server, then keeps watching it.
- 4
You see it all live
Live stats flow back to your panel. If anything goes wrong, MineXEngine recovers where it can and your panel tells you what happened.
We Own Our Infrastructure
Many Minecraft hosts rent infrastructure from larger providers and resell server capacity. MineXHost owns and operates its own hardware. That gives us direct control over:
We decide how our infrastructure is configured instead of simply reselling someone else’s resources.
Server Hardware
Every MineXHost server runs on purpose-built server-grade infrastructure designed specifically for Minecraft workloads.
AMD EPYC 4565P
CPUMinecraft performance is heavily influenced by single-thread performance because the main game tick relies primarily on one thread. Our EPYC 4565P processors pair the same fast Zen 5 silicon as a top desktop Ryzen with server-platform reliability. It scores 4,712 on PassMark single-thread, and every MineXHost server runs that same chip rather than whatever silicon a given location happens to have. Take a closer look at our AMD EPYC 4565P hardware.
DDR5 ECC Memory
MemoryECC memory helps detect and correct memory errors, reducing the risk of hardware-related corruption during long-running server operation. Combined with high-performance processors and NVMe storage, this provides a stable platform for Minecraft worlds.
Gen4 NVMe Storage
StorageGen4 NVMe drives from leading manufacturers. Fast NVMe storage improves:
- World loading
- Chunk generation
- Save operations
- Modpack startup times
How CPU Allocation Works
MineXHost does not falsely advertise dedicated CPU cores. Instead, every plan includes a transparent CPU burst allocation. Your server runs on AMD EPYC 4565P processors and can use up to your plan’s burst CPU ceiling during demanding workloads, such as:
- Chunk generation
- Mod loading
- World saves
- Backups
- Complex simulations
When multiple servers require CPU at the same time, resources are fairly prioritized based on plan size. Larger plans receive higher CPU scheduling priority. This allows servers to benefit from available hardware while maintaining fair resource allocation.
How We Handle Memory
We believe customers should understand exactly how resources are managed.
We do not use uncontrolled overselling. MineXHost uses controlled memory allocation: each node contains 128GB of physical DDR5 ECC memory, and the maximum memory assigned to customer servers on a node is approximately 151GB. This allows efficient hardware usage while avoiding uncontrolled overselling models where large numbers of customers compete for the same resources.
Why the assigned total can be higher than the physical memory: servers rarely all need their full memory at the same moment. Each server is still capped at its own plan’s RAM, and MineXEngine hands much of an idle Java server’s unused memory back to the node so a busy server can use it. When a node’s free memory stays low, it stops accepting new servers.
We limit node capacity by available memory, server count, and performance requirements, not by filling every possible slot. A node will not continue accepting servers simply because space exists on paper.
Network
High-Speed Connectivity
1 Gbps Down / 1 Gbps UpTwo independent internet connections. The main line runs at 1 Gbps up and down, and a second line from a different provider stands by as an automatic backup. If the main line ever drops, your server keeps running on the backup while it recovers.
OVH
DDoS Protection by OVHA DDoS attack is when someone floods your server with junk traffic to try to force it offline. It happens to popular Minecraft servers a lot. Every server is protected through OVH DDoS mitigation infrastructure. MineXHost uses external network protection combined with our own infrastructure management.
Backup Infrastructure
Backups are stored locally for fast recovery and replicated off-site for disaster recovery.
Dedicated NAS
On-Site BackupsLocal Network Attached Storage provides quick backup and restore capabilities. Your worlds are automatically backed up daily with 7+ day retention.
Off-Site Copy
Off-Site Cloud StorageEncrypted cloud storage at a separate location, for disaster recovery. Your data is securely replicated off-site, so a failure that takes out a whole node still leaves your world recoverable.
Why Transparency Matters
Performance claims are easy to make. At MineXHost, we believe customers should be able to verify what they are buying. We publish:
Because trust comes from knowing exactly what powers your server.
