Apex Hosting review

Apex Hosting has run Minecraft servers since 2013 and still treats Minecraft as its core product. Every plan includes Java and Bedrock support, premade minigames, FTP and MySQL access and a free transfer from your old host, all backed by a 7 day money back guarantee. The preset Java plans start at 4 GB for $14.99 a month, with custom plans from $1.88 for owners who want to size RAM themselves, and the EX Series gives a busy community 16 GB and four dedicated vCores for $71.99. The games page covers close to 30 other titles, including Palworld, Hytale, ARK, Rust and Valheim. Apex lands mid-table on value: its preset Minecraft price is the highest here, and the 25% discount on the page applies only to the first month.
