How do I host a modded Minecraft server?

The fast way: tell us which modpack you want (CurseForge, Modrinth, or a ZIP), pick a plan, and we set up the modded Minecraft server for you — Java version, JVM flags, server.properties, everything. You get full panel access and an IP to share with friends, usually within an hour.

Can I host a modded Minecraft server for free?

You can self-host on your own PC for free, but it has to stay on 24/7, your home IP is exposed, and heavy modpacks (300+ mods) will eat your RAM. Free hosting services throttle CPU, sleep your server when idle, and cap mod counts. For a real friend-group modded server, paid managed hosting starts around €12/mo on Piggo.

How much RAM does a modded Minecraft server need?

Rough guide: 4 GB for light modpacks (under 100 mods, 2-4 players), 6-8 GB for medium packs like Create or Cobblemon (5-10 players), 10-12 GB for heavy packs like ATM9, RLCraft, or Better MC, 16 GB+ for 300+ mod custom packs or large communities. CPU single-thread speed matters more than RAM for stopping TPS drops.

Do you support CurseForge and Modrinth modpacks?

Yes — both. Send us a CurseForge link, a Modrinth link, or a ZIP. We support Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt. Custom modpacks with 300+ mods are routine for us.

How fast is migration from Exaroton or another host?

Usually under an hour. We handle the full SFTP migration — your world, mods, configs, everything. You don't need to touch a thing.

Where are your servers located?

Our servers are located in the Netherlands, providing low latency across Europe.

Featuring General Ross - modded Minecraft creator

Trusted by creators

Trusted by the best.

We partner with the modded Minecraft creators shaping the scene - hosting the servers behind their videos, communities, and events. Together we're building the biggest modded Minecraft community, one server at a time.

"350+ mod server. Starts fast. Uploads faster than any host we've tried."

Real client, moved from Exaroton

Why us?

"Most hosts will sell you a server.We set yours up, fix it when it crashes, and stick around when your group changes modpacks.That's the difference."
Maks, Founder

Why Piggo?

We know how to get it right.

This is what actually makes the difference.

We've played the modpacks you're running.

Cobblemon, Cobbleverse, ATM9, Biohazard. We run them ourselves. When something breaks, we know what it is before you finish explaining.

Someone responds.

Not a bot, not a ticket. Direct support from the person actually running your server. Customers message at midnight and hear back. Every time.

Switch modpacks without losing your world.

Finished Cobbleverse? Want to try ATM9? Tell us. We switch your server in minutes, old world stays saved. Same price.

Your friends never know there's a server.

Nobody in the group has to be the IT guy. Migration, crashes, chunk issues, optimization. None of it reaches your players.

Maks, Founder

"I set up every server myself, monitor performance weekly, and fix issues before you notice them. If something breaks at 11pm, you message me - not a ticket queue."
