Minecraft hosting: your own server in 2 minutes
Pick a plan, server type and version — the server sets itself up. The “Play” button in NLauncher launches the right game version, so invite your friends and manage everything from the launcher or your account on the website.
Hosting that lives inside the launcher
No control panels, ports or Java to figure out — you manage everything in NLauncher and in your account on the website.
One click from the launcher
The “Play” button on your server in the Hosting tab starts the client with the right version. On Fabric, Forge and NeoForge it uses the same loader and drops you straight onto the server; on Paper and vanilla the server is first in your Multiplayer list.
Any server type and version
Choose the server type and Minecraft version when you create the server.
Mods and plugins
Search and install mods and plugins from Modrinth right in the launcher — the file lands in the server’s mods/ or plugins/ folder by itself.
Console, files, backups
Live console, file manager, one-click backups, scheduled tasks (restarts, commands, timed backups), world upload and download.
Locations
Moscow, St. Petersburg, Finland and Germany — pick the one closest to your players or leave it on “Auto”. Locations depend on the plan.
Pay with NLcoin, auto-renewal
You pay from your NLcoin balance. Turn on auto-renewal and the server renews itself a day before it expires; you get reminders 3 days and 1 day before.
Pick the power your world needs
Prices and availability are live and update by themselves. The longer the term, the cheaper each month.
CPU is shown as a percentage of one core: 100% is one full core. You can also buy extra backup slots, databases and ports.
Three steps to your own server
Pick a plan
Plan, term, location, server type and Minecraft version. You need an NLauncher ID account.
Pay with NLcoin
We charge your NLcoin balance and the server is created and set up automatically.
Play
Hit “Play” in the launcher or send your friends the server address.
Your own PC or our hosting?
A server on your own computer is free and fine for a couple of friends for an evening. For a world that’s always online, hosting is easier.
Frequently asked questions
Which versions and server types are supported?
Main ones: Paper, Vanilla, Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, Purpur. Also available: Arclight, Canvas, Folia, Leaves, Mohist, Pufferfish, Spigot, Sponge. You pick the Minecraft version from the list for each server type — from old ones to the very latest — and you can switch the server type or version later in the server settings.
Can I install mods and plugins?
Yes. Fabric, Forge and NeoForge run mods; Paper, Purpur and similar run plugins. The launcher has Modrinth search with one-click install, and you can upload your own files with the file manager.
For a modded server, hitting “Play” makes the launcher start the client with the same loader and version.
How do I invite friends?
Send them the server address — it’s shown on the server card. If your friends also play with NLauncher, while you’re on the server they just hit “Join” in the friends list and the launcher starts the same version and connects them to you. You can also give a friend access to manage the server (subusers) and set up a whitelist.
Can I move an existing world?
Yes: in the launcher, in the server’s World section, you can upload your world archive and download the world from the server. Single files go through the file manager.
What happens when my paid time runs out?
You’ll get reminders 3 days and 1 day before the end. With auto-renewal on, the server renews for a month from your NLcoin balance a day before it expires.
If you don’t renew, the server stops. Renew within 7 days and it starts again; after that the server is deleted together with the world.
Can I change my plan?
Yes, you can change the plan of a running server: when upgrading you pay the difference for the remaining days, when downgrading the balance is recalculated. You see the exact amount before confirming. You can also buy extra backup slots, databases and ports.
Is there a free trial or refunds?
Who can buy hosting?
Hosting is available to NLauncher ID account holders. Signing up is free and takes a minute. One account can have up to 5 servers.
Your world deserves its own server
A couple of minutes and you can invite your friends.
