Minecraft server hosting UK
Your server runs in London, so players in the UK and Europe get low ping. You pay in pounds, and player slots are free.

Why the location matters
Minecraft feels the delay between you and the server, called ping. Distance is a big part of it. A server in London is a short hop for players in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and close to much of western Europe. Players in North America or Asia can still join, but they will see higher ping simply because of the distance.
If most of your players are in the UK or Europe, London is the right place for it. We can't promise a ping figure, since your own broadband and Wi-Fi matter too.
What every plan includes
- A server in London, with DDoS protection on every plan.
- Unlimited player slots. You pay for RAM, not for slots. Set max players to whatever you like.
- A daily automatic backup, 2 backup slots, and manual backups you can lock and download.
- A web panel with a live console, file manager, SFTP, schedules and extra users for friends or staff.
- Paper, Vanilla, Fabric or Forge at checkout. Purpur and NeoForge are in the panel's Jar Picker, and you can change version any time.
- Plugins, mods and Modrinth modpacks installed from the panel.
- Instant setup: your server is created when payment clears, usually within a minute.
- Support tickets answered by the person who runs KrillCloud, usually within a few hours and always within 24 hours.

Pounds, not dollars
Prices are in pounds sterling, monthly or yearly. Yearly is ten times the monthly price, so you get two months free. Your price never goes up while you stay subscribed, and there are no hidden fees. Cancel within 14 days and you pay only for what you used, and on a first order you can ask for a full refund within 48 hours. The details are in the refund policy. Payments are handled by Stripe, so we never see your card number.
Java Edition only
We host Minecraft: Java Edition. We do not offer Bedrock servers. If your players are on Java, they connect with the address in your panel, as set out in the connect guide.
Getting started
- Pick a plan and order. Choose a server name and what it starts as, such as Paper.
