Seven checks before you buy
| Check | What to look for |
|---|---|
| CPU model | A named CPU, not a generic "vCore". Minecraft depends on single-thread speed. |
| Price per GB | Divide the monthly price by the RAM. Compare plans of the same size. |
| Location | A server in India keeps ping low for Indian players. Test it yourself. |
| DDoS protection | Check that it is included, and which provider protects the node. |
| Panel tools | Player manager, plugin installer, modpacks and backups save time. |
| Support | Can you reach a person when the server is down? |
| Trial or refund | A free trial or a clear refund policy lets you test first. |
Price per GB: the fair way to compare
Headline prices hide the plan size. A cheap 1 GB plan can cost more per GB than a larger plan. HeavenCloud budget plans start at ₹120/mo for 8 GB, which works out to about ₹60 per GB.
