What Is Apex Hosting and What Does It Offer?

Updated

Apex Hosting is a game server hosting provider that specializes in Minecraft, offering preconfigured Java Edition servers you can rent by the month, with plans starting at $14.99 for 4 GB of RAM (currently discounted 25% to $11.24 for the first month with code APEX25). It suits players and small communities who want a ready-made server without managing their own hardware. All plans include unlimited player slots, a free subdomain, automated offsite backups, and 24/7 live chat support staffed by server administrators.

What server plans are available?

Apex sells fixed RAM tiers for Minecraft: Java Edition, plus a custom configuration option and a high-performance "EX Series." Prices below are the recurring monthly rates listed on the site.

Plan RAM Intended use Recurring price First-month price (25% off)
Starter 4 GB Vanilla + most modpacks $14.99/mo $11.24
Mid 6 GB Vanilla + most modpacks $22.49/mo $16.87
Large 8 GB Larger modpacks & communities $27.99/mo $20.99
Custom Tailored Fully tailored to your needs Starting at $1.88/mo —
EX Series 16 GB DDR4 Demanding servers, large communities $71.99/mo $53.99

The EX Series runs on dedicated vCores (up to 4.8 GHz) from a Ryzen 9 5900X in the US and EU, or a Ryzen 7 5800X in APAC, and includes NVMe storage, a free dedicated IP, and premium support. Apex positions it for heavy loads and big communities rather than casual play.

What features come with every server?

  • One-click mod and plugin installer — switch between 20+ games and 200+ modpacks from the control panel.
  • Unlimited slots — no player caps or extra fees as your community grows.
  • Free subdomain — every order includes a web address so players can connect easily.
  • Automated offsite backups — protects against bad configurations or hardware failure.
  • 24/7 live chat support — described as staffed by experienced server administrators.
  • Video guides — the site advertises video tutorials alongside live chat.

Who is it for?

Choose Apex if you want a Minecraft server running within minutes and prefer managed hosting over running a machine yourself. The 4 GB tier is the entry point for vanilla play and most modpacks; step up to 6–8 GB if you plan to run larger modpacks or invite a bigger community. The EX Series makes sense only if you expect sustained heavy load or are running a large public server.

If you need a game other than Minecraft, Apex also offers 20+ other game servers through the same panel, so the account isn't limited to one title.

What to check before ordering

  • Confirm the plan fits your modpack. The site labels 4 GB and 6 GB for "vanilla + most modpacks" and 8 GB for "larger modpacks," so check your pack's recommended RAM before choosing.
  • Note the discount is first-month only. The 25% APEX25 discount applies to the first order; billing reverts to the recurring price afterward.
  • Verify region options. EX Series hardware differs by region (US/EU vs. APAC), so confirm which CPU your location receives.
  • Ask support about specifics. Pricing and plan details can change; the live chat is the fastest way to confirm current configuration, billing terms, and setup steps for your chosen plan.
