Singapore, the hub for Southeast Asia
Singapore sits between India, Malaysia and Indonesia on the region's main undersea cables, so one server can give all three a playable ping.

Built for Minecraft
What a Minecraft server
actually needs.
Minecraft runs each world's tick loop on one thread, and big worlds are heavy on disk. This is what we built around.
Single-thread speed for the tick loop
AMD EPYC 4564P boosts up to 5.7 GHz to keep farms, redstone and mobs moving when the server is busy.
NVMe for chunks and backups
World saves, chunk loading and backups are heavy on disk. NVMe storage keeps exploring and autosaves smooth.
DDoS protection on every IP
Gcore filters attack traffic before it reaches your server, on every Nodewave server IP at no extra cost.
How protection works →Two ways to host
Host where
your players are.
Both come with DDoS protection. Choose by where most of your community plays from.
Best for AsiaSingapore VPS

- Any version, loader, plugin or modpack
- Live CPU, memory and network graphs in your dashboard
North America and EuropeOne-click server
Paper, Forge or Fabric in minutes,

Pick Paper, Purpur, Forge, Fabric, Quilt or Crossplay and start playing. The game panel does the setup for you.

- A Crossplay option for Bedrock players
- Dallas and Amsterdam locations
Plan your size
Start from your player count.
Then watch the graphs.
Plugins, mods and view distance matter more than player slots. Use these as starting points and scale up when your dashboard shows it.
| Players | What it usually runs | Starting VPS |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 20 | Paper or Purpur with a few plugins | 2 vCPU · 8 GB RAM |
| 20 to 60 | Plugin-heavy survival or a light modpack | 3 vCPU · 12 GB RAM |
| Large modpacks | Forge or Fabric packs with 150 or more mods | 4 vCPU · 16 GB RAM |
| Networks | Velocity with lobby, survival and minigame servers | 6 vCPU · 24 GB RAM or more |
Give the Minecraft server 1 to 2 GB less memory than the VPS has, so the operating system has room. Every VPS has NVMe storage; see all sizes on the plans page.
From order to online
Live in four steps.
Prefer a web panel? Install Pterodactyl or Crafty on the VPS and manage everything from your browser.
- Order a VPS in Singapore
Pick a plan and Ubuntu or Debian. Your server is created automatically, with root access.
- Install Java and your server
Install the Java version your Minecraft release needs, then download Paper, Purpur, Fabric or Forge.
- Open the game port
Java players join on port 25565 over TCP. Bedrock players use port 19132 over UDP through Geyser.
- Share your address
Give players your server IP, or point your own domain at it with an A record.

Minecraft hosting questions
Clear answers.
Before you order.
Which location gives the best ping for India, Malaysia and Indonesia?
Singapore. In our October 2026 tests, players in Malaysia and Indonesia usually reached our Singapore network in under 50 ms, and players in India in about 40 to 90 ms. Routes vary by ISP, so test yours before you order.
Is DDoS protection included?
Yes. Every Nodewave server IP sits behind Gcore DDoS filtering at no extra cost.
Can Bedrock players join?
Yes. Install Geyser on a Paper or Purpur server and players on phones and consoles can join your Java server. Our one-click Crossplay option sets this up for you.
Can I run modpacks?
Yes. Forge, NeoForge, Fabric and Quilt all run on a VPS. Large modpacks need more memory, so start with at least 12 GB for heavy packs.
Can I move my existing world?
Yes. Upload your world folders and server files over SFTP, start the server on the same version, and your players keep their progress.
Is this managed hosting?
The Singapore VPS is self-managed: you install and run the software. If you would rather not look after an operating system, our one-click Minecraft servers in Dallas and Amsterdam set everything up for you.
Already hosting your server elsewhere?
Keep your host and put NodeShield in front of it: a protected address in Singapore, with Gcore filtering made for Minecraft traffic.
