4 GB PLAN PRICES · US MARKET · USD

4 GB Minecraft hosting prices by billing term

Compare each provider’s published 4 GB plan as a first invoice, a renewal, and a contract period. Memory labels do not make these plans performance-equivalent.

For one month: the lowest fixed-term first invoice is $4.00 from PebbleHost Budget Minecraft Hosting and ApexNode. ApexNode lists $8.00 after its first month; PebbleHost’s renewal is unconfirmed. Campfire is a separate usage option at $0.05 per active hour plus $0.18 per stored GB-month.

Player guidance is shown only where the provider publishes it. Those statements are provider claims, not our independent test results. A 4 GB label alone does not establish how a plan performs with a particular world or modpack.

Fixed monthly plans and runtime billing answer different questions

Campfire’s Copper plan charges by active server time and separately charges for stored world data. Its estimate depends on your own hours and storage size, so it should not be ranked against a fixed invoice until those inputs are included.

Choose your intended duration in the cost calculator, or see the pay-as-you-go formula and worked example. For one specific pair of monthly plans, read Shockbyte vs PebbleHost.

Estimate your actual contract charges

Price data checked 2026-10-01. Provider billing rules can differ from the calendar estimate.

Player count only divides the listed base charge; it does not predict the memory or performance your server needs. A date estimates calendar anniversaries; the provider account controls the actual billing date. Usage hours and stored GB are estimates you enter, not predictions.
