Trusted by server owners
Hear from the communities saving money and time with CraftCtrl.
“CraftCtrl cut our Minecraft hosting bill in half. The auto sleep/wake feature is incredible — our community server runs 24/7 but we only pay when players are actually online.”
Alex M.
Community Server Admin
“Finally, a Minecraft host that actually understands Kubernetes. We run 50+ servers for our hosting business and the multi-tenancy isolation is rock solid.”
Jordan R.

“Switched from a traditional host last month. Setup took 10 minutes, backups are automatic, and the plugin manager saved me hours of manual work.”
