Top 5 Modded Game Server Hosts in 2026
Use this 2026 ranking to compare hosts for modded servers across Minecraft and other supported games. We focus on providers that list both a modpack installer and a mod/plugin installer, so you can weigh game choice alongside memory, storage and location.

How we ranked modded game server hosts
We required both a modpack installer and a mod/plugin installer: having only one can limit how you set up a modded server. Among providers that meet that requirement, we ranked these five by the number of supported games they list, from broadest coverage down. We also considered practical details such as RAM, storage, backup frequency, player slots and whether a provider lists a server in the Netherlands. We rank on listed specs and features, not lab tests; game count does not guarantee that every mod or modpack is supported.
1. BisectHosting
BisectHosting takes the top spot for the widest listed game selection: 110 supported games, with both installer types included. That breadth spans Minecraft and Minecraft Bedrock as well as games such as Palworld, Rust, Valheim, Project Zomboid, Farming Simulator 25 and Counter-Strike 2. Its 2 GB RAM plan pairs that coverage with unlimited storage and daily backups.
- Strengths: Both mod installers, 110 supported games, unlimited player slots, unlimited storage, daily backups, DDoS protection and a Netherlands server option.
- Strengths: NVMe SSD storage, 21 locations, game switching, file access and a custom control panel.
- Limits: The listed plan has 2 GB RAM, and there is no dedicated IP or TeamSpeak/Mumble voice server.
- Limits: Its listed support channels are live chat and tickets, and support is in English.
Choose BisectHosting if you want the broadest choice of supported games and value daily backups. It is a good fit for a group that may move between titles, but check that your exact modpack is available before ordering: a high game count is not a catalogue of every community mod.
2. GPORTAL by G-Portal (INT)
GPORTAL is the runner-up for cross-title modding, listing 100 supported games and both installer types. Its list includes FiveM and RedM alongside Minecraft, Rust, ARK: Survival Evolved and Valheim. The plan lists 2 GB RAM, unlimited storage and unlimited player slots. NVMe SSD storage and game switching make it a flexible option if your group rotates between supported games.
- Strengths: Both installers, 100 supported games, unlimited storage and player slots, DDoS protection and NVMe SSD storage.
- Strengths: Support is available by phone, email, ticket, Discord and forum, in several languages. A 14-day money-back guarantee is listed.
- Limits: The listed server locations do not include the Netherlands, and the provider lists manual rather than daily backups.
- Limits: The plan has 2 GB RAM; the provider lists 12 locations.
Pick GPORTAL if its broad title range and multiple support channels match your needs, especially if you want to host FiveM or RedM. If a Netherlands location or automatic daily backups are priorities, compare another provider first.
3. ZAP-Hosting
ZAP-Hosting also lists 100 supported games and both mod installers, with a Netherlands server option and daily backups. Its supported titles include FiveM, Assetto Corsa, Palworld and Project Zomboid, among others. The plan lists 2 GB RAM and 10 GB storage, which is a more defined storage limit than the unlimited-storage offers above.
- Strengths: Both installers, 100 supported games, daily backups, a Netherlands location and NVMe SSD storage.
- Strengths: DDoS protection, game switching, file access and live chat, email and ticket support.
- Limits: The listed plan allows four player slots and 10 GB storage.
- Limits: Support and website languages are listed as English and German; there is no dedicated IP.
ZAP-Hosting suits a small group that wants a Netherlands server and daily backups, and does not need more than four listed player slots. Check storage needs before choosing it, particularly if a modpack adds a large world or many files.
4. Nodecraft
Nodecraft lists 77 supported games, along with both installer types, unlimited player slots and 28 locations. Its catalogue includes Minecraft, Hytale, Palworld, Rust, FiveM and Satisfactory. The provider lists 2 GB RAM and SSD storage, plus a free trial and a Netherlands server option. Those extras make it worth considering even though its game count is lower than the first three.
- Strengths: Both installers, unlimited player slots, a free trial, game switching and a Netherlands location.
- Strengths: DDoS protection, file access, scheduled tasks, subusers and support by live chat, phone and ticket.
- Limits: It lists 77 supported games, fewer than the providers above, and SSD rather than NVMe SSD storage.
- Limits: Support is not listed as available 24/7; the plan has 2 GB RAM and no dedicated IP.
Choose Nodecraft if you want to try the service before committing and value its wide choice of locations. It can suit a group that has settled on one of its supported games, but check the catalogue carefully if game variety is your main reason for choosing a host.
5. Kinetic Hosting
Kinetic Hosting lists 70 supported games, the lowest count in this ranking, but offers 4 GB RAM and 60 GB storage. Both mod installers are included, and the supported games cover Minecraft, Hytale, Palworld, Rust, ARK: Survival Evolved, Valheim and Project Zomboid. It also lists NVMe SSD storage, daily availability for support and a Netherlands server location.
- Strengths: Both installers, 4 GB RAM, 60 GB storage, NVMe SSD storage, unlimited player slots and DDoS protection.
- Strengths: A Netherlands server, 16 locations, scheduled tasks and support by live chat, ticket and Discord.
- Limits: The 70-game catalogue is the narrowest among these five providers.
- Limits: Backups are listed, but no backup frequency is specified; there is no dedicated IP.
Kinetic Hosting is the practical pick if you want more listed RAM than the other ranked plans and your game is in its supported catalogue. Its extra memory may give you more room for a modded setup, but it does not remove the need to check a pack's own requirements.
Other hosts we considered
Server.pro lists 93 supported games, both installers, 4 GB RAM, a free trial and 24/7 availability, but it does not list a Netherlands server. Nitrado offers both installers and 4 GB RAM, but its 70 supported games and lack of a Netherlands location left it outside this ranking.
How to choose a modded game server
Start with the exact game and modpack, not the headline game count. Confirm that the host supports the title and that its installer covers the pack or plugins you intend to use. A modpack installer and a mod/plugin installer are useful setup features, but the provider's listing does not promise compatibility with every third-party release.
Next, match resources to your group. These ranked plans list between 2 GB and 4 GB RAM; Kinetic Hosting lists the most, at 4 GB. Storage also varies from 10 GB at ZAP-Hosting to unlimited storage at BisectHosting and GPORTAL. If your world or mod files grow, check the storage limit and backup policy rather than assuming an installer handles either one.
Finally, consider location, player slots and recovery. A Netherlands server is listed by BisectHosting, ZAP-Hosting, Nodecraft and Kinetic Hosting, but not GPORTAL. ZAP-Hosting lists four slots, while the others list unlimited slots. Backup schedules differ: BisectHosting and ZAP-Hosting specify daily backups, GPORTAL lists manual backups, and Kinetic Hosting does not state a frequency. For a new server in 2026, those details can matter more than a small difference in game count.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a modpack installer and a mod/plugin installer?
A modpack installer helps you deploy a bundled set of mods, while a mod/plugin installer is a separate management option for mods or plugins. This ranking requires providers to list both, because one tool may not cover every setup you want. Still, an installer does not guarantee support for every third-party modpack, so verify the exact pack and game with the host.
Which host supports the most games for modded servers?
BisectHosting lists 110 supported games, the highest count among the five ranked providers. GPORTAL and ZAP-Hosting each list 100, followed by Nodecraft with 77 and Kinetic Hosting with 70. The count is useful for comparing title breadth, but it does not confirm that a particular mod or modpack is supported within a game.
Which ranked host lists the most RAM?
Kinetic Hosting lists 4 GB RAM, while BisectHosting, GPORTAL, ZAP-Hosting and Nodecraft each list 2 GB. More memory can be useful for a demanding modded setup, but you should check the requirements for your specific game, pack and group size. The listed RAM alone cannot establish how a particular server will perform.
Which providers list a server in the Netherlands?
BisectHosting, ZAP-Hosting, Nodecraft and Kinetic Hosting list a Netherlands server. GPORTAL does not include the Netherlands among its listed locations. Choose a location based on where your players are, and check the provider's available region when you configure the server, since the location can affect the route players connect through.
How important is the backup schedule for a modded server?
Backups give you a recovery point if a world or configuration needs to be restored, so check both whether backups are included and how often they run. BisectHosting and ZAP-Hosting list daily backups; GPORTAL lists manual backups. Kinetic Hosting lists backups without a frequency, and Nodecraft lists backups without a schedule in the supplied plan details.
Does a higher supported-game count mean a better modded server?
Not necessarily. Game count helps if you want to switch titles or are still deciding what to host, but your exact game, modpack compatibility, RAM, storage, player slots and location may matter more. For example, ZAP-Hosting lists 100 games but only four player slots, while Kinetic Hosting lists fewer games and 4 GB RAM. Compare the details against your own setup.
