Why people switch from GGServers to Citruxhosting
GGServers is a host you go to when you’re trying to spend as little as possible. They’ll get a 1 GB Minecraft server in your hands for around three bucks. The trade-off is that you’re sharing a server with a lot of other tenants and the Multicraft panel feels frozen in time.
Citruxhosting is intentionally not the cheapest. We won’t sell you a 1 GB plan because that’s setting you up to fail — modern Minecraft + Paper + a few plugins crashes under 1 GB. Our smallest plan is 2 GB and built to actually run.
If you’re running a server that you actually plan to play on more than once, the per-GB price difference between us and GGServers shrinks once you size up to a realistic tier. And you get a panel that doesn’t make you want to throw your laptop out the window.
GGServers wins if you’re launching a one-week server for a class project and you don’t care about anything beyond “cheapest possible.” Citruxhosting wins for everyone else.
Where Citruxhosting wins
- Pterodactyl, not Multicraft. The panel is night and day.
- More transparent CPU allocation — we publish exact CPU% per tier, GGServers does not.
- Better single-thread CPU performance (Minecraft’s main thread loves fast cores).
- 72-hour refund vs their no-refund policy outside the trial.
Where GGServers still wins
- GGServers is genuinely cheaper at the bottom of the range.
- More live region options for budget shoppers.
Verdict
Pick Citruxhosting if you’re going to play on the server for more than two weekends. Pick GGServers if you specifically need the absolute cheapest option and don’t mind a legacy panel.
FAQ
Is GGServers safe?
GGServers is a legitimate, long-running host. The complaint isn’t safety — it’s oversold nodes and a dated panel. Both of which we don’t have.
Why is Citruxhosting more expensive than GGServers on the 1 GB tier?
We don’t sell a 1 GB tier on purpose. 1 GB of RAM isn’t enough to run modern Minecraft reliably, and we’d rather not take your money for a server that crashes.
