What your Bedrock world asks of a host

Bedrock is a good fit for a shared world with friends who play on different supported devices. Before you choose a host, check that the service explicitly offers Bedrock server hosting rather than assuming a Java server will work for everyone. The official Minecraft website is the place to check current game and edition information. The practical question is what you plan to do together. A small survival world with a few friends is a different proposition from a busy realm-like community where people build, explore, and return at different times. More active players and a more elaborate world are good reasons to choose a higher plan. If you are starting with a small, mostly vanilla group, do not pay for a large tier just because it is there. A server host also matters when friends expect to join without you having to run the world from your own device.

A hosted server gives the group a shared place to return to. That makes the choice less about picking the biggest package and more about choosing a sensible starting point for your group, then deciding whether it needs more resources as it grows.

Choose a plan by the group you actually have

For 2, 4, or 8 players, Starter is the sensible first choice: it is the smallest listed package and is recommended for 1-10 players. A four-person group does not need to jump to Standard just because it may play together regularly. Start at Starter unless you already know the group will be larger or your plans call for a more demanding world. At 16 players, Standard is the straightforward recommendation. Its guidance covers 11-30 players, leaving room for a group larger than Starter's recommended range. For 31-50, look at Ultra. Superior is recommended for 51-100, and Extreme is listed for 100+. Those ranges are recommendations, not slot caps. All five plans include unlimited player slots. A well-optimised world may run comfortably beyond a tier's suggested range, while a mod-heavy or especially busy world may be happier on the next tier up.

Treat the number as a starting point for your decision, not a promise that every world behaves the same way. There is a large price jump from Starter to Standard, so be honest about who will actually join. If you expect a handful of friends, Starter is the better value. If you are setting up a community and expect more than ten players, Standard is the more appropriate place to begin. You can compare the current Minecraft Bedrock hosting plans before you decide.

What is included, and what affects the bill

Each listed package includes NVMe SSD storage, DDoS protection, unlimited player slots, 1Gbit unmetered bandwidth, support, and access to a knowledge base. These are useful basics for a shared game server: storage is part of the service, DDoS protection is included, and you have support resources to consult if setup raises questions. The monthly prices in the table are the monthly billing option. Other billing cycles are available: quarterly billing is $2.61 per GB per month, semi-annual billing is $2.47 per GB per month, and annual billing is $2.33 per GB per month. Those rates correspond to discounts of 5%, 10%, and 15% respectively. Choose a longer cycle only if it suits how long you expect to keep the world running. Paid plans have a one-time $3.50 setup fee. It does not apply to the trial.

Check the checkout details for the billing cycle you select so the plan price and any one-time charge are clear before you commit.

A trial that lets you test the real server

IGH offers a 48-hour free trial so you can try the server before buying. A card is required to start it, and the server is terminated if you do not upgrade before the trial ends. The trial is free for those 48 hours. IGH does not offer refunds. The trial gives you a chance to test the real server before making the purchase decision, so use that time to check the setup and have the people who will play with you try joining. Set a reminder before the trial ends if you want to keep the world.

Getting from signup to your first session

  1. Pick a player range. Choose Starter for a small group of up to ten as a recommendation, Standard for an expected 11-30, or the tier that matches a larger community. If your plans change later, review the options before upgrading.

  2. Open the Bedrock hosting page. Review the listed plan and billing details on the IGH Minecraft Bedrock page. Make sure you select Bedrock for the world you intend to run.

  3. Choose the trial or a paid plan. If you want to test first, start the 48-hour free trial and provide a card. If you choose a paid plan, account for the $3.50 one-time setup fee as well as the recurring price.

  4. Follow the setup guidance. Use the provided game server panel and the available knowledge base or support if you need help finding the relevant controls. Avoid changing settings you do not understand; keep a note of any changes so you can undo them if needed.

  5. Share the connection details with your group. Give players the server information shown for your server, and check that they are using the Bedrock edition and can connect. If someone cannot join, verify the details they entered and the edition first, then consult support or the knowledge base.

  6. Decide before the trial expires. If you want to keep the world, upgrade before the 48 hours are over. Otherwise, the trial server is terminated, so do not leave a world you want to preserve on an unupgraded trial. The exact controls and connection details can depend on the server panel's current layout. Use the instructions shown for your account rather than following an old screenshot or assuming a particular menu name.

When to move up a tier

The cleanest reason to upgrade is a real change in the group. If your usual group grows beyond ten players, Standard's 11-30 recommendation is a better fit than continuing to treat Starter as the default. If the community grows again, use the next listed range as a guide. That is more useful than buying Extreme in advance for a group that may never arrive. A second reason is the kind of world you are building. If you add mods or expect a lot of activity at once, consider the next tier even when your player count still sits in the lower recommendation. The plans provide guidance by group size, but no single player figure can account for every server setup. Start with the package that matches your real use and review it when that use changes. For a private world with a few friends, simplicity often beats overbuying.

Choose Starter, get everyone connected, and see how the group uses the server. A larger community has a clearer reason to begin with Standard or above. There is no benefit in paying for a bigger recommendation if your world does not need it.

Questions people ask before renting

Can I use a Java server for Bedrock players? Choose a server listing specifically for Minecraft Bedrock if your group needs a Bedrock world. The hosting page linked here is for Bedrock, so check that you are ordering the edition your players intend to use.

How much does Minecraft Bedrock server hosting cost at IGH? The Starter plan is $11 per month, Standard is $33, Ultra is $55, Superior is $77, and Extreme is $99. The monthly plan table above includes each package's RAM, CPU, and recommended player range.

Does a plan limit the number of player slots? No, all listed plans include unlimited player slots. The player range is a recommendation for choosing a package, not a cap that blocks additional players.

Which plan should I choose for 8 players? Starter is the recommended choice for a group of eight because its guidance covers 1-10 players. If the world is mod-heavy or the group is likely to grow, consider whether a higher tier is a better fit.

Which plan should I choose for 16 players? Standard is recommended for 11-30 players, so it is the natural choice for a group of sixteen. Starter's recommendation is for 1-10 players.

Is the 48-hour trial free? Yes, the trial is free for 48 hours, and a card is required to start it. The server is terminated if you do not upgrade before the trial ends. IGH does not offer refunds. The 48-hour free trial lets you test the server before buying, so check that it suits your group while the trial is active.

What should I do if a player cannot connect? First, check that they are using the Bedrock edition and entered the server details shown for your server correctly. If the issue continues, use the knowledge base or contact support for practical setup help.

Make the call based on your group

For a small group, Starter at $11 per month is the practical place to begin. For 16 players, choose Standard at $33 per month. Larger communities can use the recommended player ranges in the table to compare tiers, while remembering that every plan has unlimited slots and that the ranges are guidance, not ceilings. IGH's Bedrock plans include NVMe SSD storage, DDoS protection, instant deployment, and 24/7 support. If you want to see how the service fits your group before paying, the 48-hour free trial gives you time to try the real server.
