Very, very good host. Jake + Robin knows their stuff. Hardware is owned by them, and they have SSDs. I definitely recommend.

Thank you very much, we do our very best here to provide a great service for our customers.

We've changed up our site just a little bit, it's still a nice simple design however we've added some more colors into the background to spice it up a little bit.

And thank you to all the customers of Notch servers and our new ones. Everyone has now been transitioned to our company owned hardware and we appreciate everyone's patience during the move over.

I've had a server with this company for a while now and have to say they are great. The performance I get on my server is absolutely outstanding. Thanks guys!

I recently purchased a server through Breakablock and am really enjoying the service. I started with a dirt plan and upgraded to a wool the second day I had it. Upgrading was extremely simple and happened nearly instantly. Support has been excellent as well.

Thank you very much it's great to hear from our customers glad you are enjoying it and seeing your server growing.

Who would like to see us offer servers in Chicago??

Also servers are updated for 1.3.1 be sure to order today!

How many player slots if a 1GB server?

Hello! I am new here (and to Minecraft) and am currently looking for a company to host a server so that 2 of my kids and their friends can play together. I admittedly am not very well versed in the universe of Minecraft or third party server hosting.
Your original post indicates you all are best for "experienced" Minecraft gamers. My kids and their friends have been playing quite a while (both desktop and pocket edition) and was just wondering if my inexperience with the game and server hosting would indicate that we should look elsewhere for a server host. I don't know if it matters or not but we are all in the Memphis, TN area.
Thanks!

Hello there,
We have been providing servers for Minecraft since the game has been out, our staff is always able to help out. Our product is based more towards customers who have more time with hosting servers however we have a full knowledgebase of all the things you need to know to get started, we also don't mind helping out with questions you may have as well.

Our servers are located all over the US our Dallas location would work best for you. We also have a Chicago location coming very soon as well which will also give you amazing performance.

If you have any questions please let us know.

Hello there,

First off I'm sorry to hear that you were not as satisfied with our service as you were hoping for.

Our control panel, multicraft, by default is not setup to give out server jar access, it also does not allow customers to change the set player limits. Our service is for experienced server admins however the amount of customers who order who are also not experienced is the main reason why the panel is setup like this. When you have customers without experience running a server, placing orders and given jar access along with being able to change the slot count, you end up with more issues and support questions than the few customers who wish to change those options. Since it is a manual process, as well as setting up your mysql, it did take us time to do it (13/08/2012 04:32 submitted - 13/08/2012 10:06 answered)


As for the help with your plugins, we replied to your ticket rather quickly it was created 14/08/2012 04:49 we replied 14/08/2012 06:14, however you put in a cancellation at 05:25. In that ticket we asked which permissions plugin you are using and what is the issue you were experiencing, since your ticket gave no information other than "I dont have my regular permissions". In that ticket we also let you know the you are on an unmanaged plan however we still try to help everyone. As you clearly saw on our site: "We offer support for server related issues. If you feel you would need more support, we suggest you look to our sister company, Minecraftserver.net". This was not a server issue, but a plugin issue. You never responded to the ticket to let us know what plugin you were having issues with.

Again, I am sorry to hear that you were not satisfied, however, your tickets were answered in a reasonable time frame and the fact that you chose not to respond to assistance is not something we can be responsible for.

Chicago, yes we have opened up another location! This location is amazing for everyone all over. West coasters get 60ms ping, players in Europe ping in the low 100ms!

With this new location we have put out a 30% off for the first month sale! Use Promo code "Chicago" to get your server today!

This service looks great, I'll likely move to it as soon as my server outgrows my home connection. One question though, why do you guys charge $1.50 for MySQL? In addition, are you able to a) upload existing MySQL databases and b ) create/own unlimited MySQL databases for the $1.50 or is it $1.50 per database?

Hello there,
Our MySQL costs are there as we provide those on different boxes than we host our servers on, this is to keep any unwanted cpu usage and also hard drive usage off our customers servers which are dedicated just for Minecraft hosting.

We give you access to phpmyadmin to upload any old database information. You can also used the database for multiple plugins if you like as well.

If you have any other questions please let us know.

We just got more stock in all our locations! Also if you're looking for a nice dedicated server be sure to ask us about it.

i noticed your sister company is more money im not new at plugins my friend had a server i help with should i go with you or minecraftserver.net for my server

Hello there,
We suggest this for those who know what they are doing and who will need little to no support.
It sounds like you know how to install plugins so you should be alright here.
If you have any other questions please let us know and we will be happy to help.
