[Request] Minecraft VPS – 2+ vCPU / 8GB RAM / 50GB SSD – ~$10/month – High Single-Core Performance

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for an affordable VPS to host a modded Minecraft Java Edition (Forge) server.

I'm currently using an OVH VPS with 4 vCPUs and 8GB RAM, but its single-thread performance is not sufficient for my server.

Requirements:
- CPU: 2+ vCPUs (high single-thread performance is the priority)
- RAM: 8GB or more
- Storage: 50GB+ SSD/NVMe
- Location: Any region is fine
- OS: Linux
- Budget: Around $10/month (some flexibility)
- Use case: Modded Minecraft (Forge) server

Single-thread performance matters much more to me than the number of vCPUs. A VPS with 2 fast Ryzen cores would be preferable to one with 4 slower cores.

For reference, my current OVH VPS has the following Geekbench 6 results:

  • CPU: Intel Haswell (virtualized)
  • Single-Core: 654
  • Multi-Core: 2111

If you're a provider, please include your CPU model, monthly price, and any available benchmark results.

Does anyone have any recommendations or good deals?

Thanks in advance!

  • U should check out Greencloud they have a ton of locations and will probably just fit in spec range with one of their offers. They might have an anniversary coming up soon I cant remember so if u check u might be worth waiting.
    GB6 1
    Geekbench Single Core = 1469 | Geekbench Multi Core = 4889
    GB6 2
    Geekbench Single Core = 1447 | Geekbench Multi Core = 4820

    Berohost has a sale rn idk if they have any stock left but they also fit into your spec/price range easily the only downside is it being a annual payment instead of monthly but its worth it imo.
    GB6
    Geekbench Single Core = 2601 | Geekbench Multi Core = 8185

    @LowHosting dont advertise much here but they might have some good offers if they arent out of stock. I dont think ive had any downtime with them whatsoever and they have treated me great.

    Delux is nice price wise but the cpu score is lower than their current vps iirc

    edit ye it was lower the last time i tested them
    Geekbench Single Core = 539 | Geekbench Multi Core = 1026
    Geekbench Single Core = 608 | Geekbench Multi Core = 1058

    T & Q Series may have hope tho its a EPYC 7551P & Ryzen 9 7950X / 7950X3D it jus depends on how oversold it is

    Check out ExtraVM or BloomHost

    For just a single modded server, shared hosting with Pterodactyl will likely be cheaper and offer better hardware.

  • I'll decide to retract my "suggestion" to deluxhost until the water clears up. After some more research, I've found this: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/212840/delux-host-6-month-review-great-price-horrible-support-subpar-performance

    That doesnt inspire much confidence.
