Starting a Minecraft Server on your Minecraft VPS at Hostinger is very easy, just follow these steps:
Log in to your Game Panel and click on the Create Instance button:
Then choose the preferred Minecraft Edition and press Create Instance:
The following editions are available:
Minecraft Edition | Platform | Features |
Java Edition | PC | Best for servers with plugins or mods when you and your friends are playing on computers only |
Bedrock Edition | Any (computer, console, smartphone) | Best for playing with your friends or family without having to worry about what platform they are on |
BungeeCord Proxy | Spigot/Craftbukkit on PC only | Perfect for large servers that offer several different modes, such as minigames and factions, or servers that just want to keep things separated |
Once the preferred Edition has been selected, allow a few minutes for the server to be set up (you will see the loading icon in the right-hand corner):
When the server’s setup process is done, click on your instance and select Manage:
Once there, click on the Start button and accept Minecraft Server EULA. After that, the newest Minecraft server will start downloading:
When the download is complete, click on the Start button again. The server will start, and you will be able to connect to it by using Endpoint information:
That's it! Now you know how to set up your first Minecraft server 😊
