Minecraft hosting built by people who run servers

MelonNode started in 2022 as a straightforward hosting service for small Minecraft communities. We ran servers on shared hardware, used a standard panel, and kept prices low. It worked, but it was not the service we wanted to stand behind long-term.

In 2025 we shut everything down and rebuilt from scratch. We moved to dedicated hardware on Scaleway's POP2 platform in Paris — enterprise CPUs, NVMe storage, and isolated containers with no resource sharing. More importantly, we wrote a completely custom control panel: real-time console, SFTP file management, one-click modpack installation, subdomain routing, plugin management, and Velocity proxy support — none of which you get out of the box with generic panels.

We relaunched publicly in 2026. The pricing is higher than it was in 2022 because the infrastructure is genuinely better. We do not offer "unlimited RAM" plans or shared-core pricing because those promises are not real. Every plan lists exactly what you get.

We are a small team. Every support ticket goes to someone who actually knows the platform. When something breaks — and occasionally it does — we post an incident note rather than hoping nobody noticed.

All Minecraft servers run as isolated Docker containers on dedicated hardware in Scaleway's POP2 data centre in Paris, France (fr-par). POP2 machines use AMD EPYC processors — a significant step up from the general-purpose VMs most hosts use — with NVMe SSDs on every node.

Each server gets its own container with a fixed RAM and CPU limit. Containers do not share memory pools. If your server is allocated 8 GB, no other container can use that memory, even if the physical node has spare capacity.

DDoS protection is handled by TCPShield before traffic reaches our infrastructure. All game ports pass through multi-terabit scrubbing with automatic attack mitigation.

Velocity proxy networks run as separate managed containers with automatic configuration. When you add a backend server to a network, the proxy configuration updates without downtime.
