Modern game-server hosting done right.
Modern game-server hosting done right.
Pricing:
Right now, the pricing is very fair in my opinion. You get modern hardware and new technology for around the same price, if not even cheaper, than many bigger and well-known companies. Also, you do not have to pay for slots, which never really made sense to me. The free 2-day trial was a nice bonus too.
Performance:
I got myself an AllTheMons server and I have to say, even at the beginning, when around 10 people started walking around in random directions and exploring the world, the server had no problems with it. No missing or empty chunks, no major lag, nothing like that. Even later in the game, with multiple bases that were always force-loaded and a lot of tech mods running, everything worked fine. Server restarts are also really fast.
Mod Selection:
The mod selection is linked to CurseForge, Modrinth and other platforms, which means you can select almost any modpack yourself and even choose the version. If a modpack gets updated, you can change the version in like 2–3 minutes.
Help / Support:
In my experience, support was very pleasant. If there was a problem, I wrote on Discord and it was fixed very quickly.
Other:
Piggo and the team actually listen to feedback and improve things. For example, I found it annoying to get to my server because I either had to save the link or pretend to book a new server just to reach my current one. I told them about the problem and suggested a “Have a server?” button that takes you straight to your server, and it was implemented on the same day.
Another thing was that after the first 30 days, most of my friends were already finished with the modpack, but there were still around 1–3 people playing. I did not want to extend the server for another full 30 days, so I asked the Piggo team if it was possible to extend it for only 2 weeks with less RAM, and that was no problem at all.
All in all, my friends and I were very happy with the service, and we even started a new modpack now.
