So you’re shopping for a Minecraft host… again
Cool. Let me save you ten tabs, three headaches, and one very awkward refund call. I’m going to tell you exactly what happens when you hit “checkout” with ExpHost, and what you’ll be regretting if you hand your card to GG Servers.
1. The CPU they forgot to list
GG Servers hides their CPU like a guilty secret. After a support ticket they finally admitted they run the Intel i7-7700K on every pro node.
- What that means: a 2017 quad-core that tops out at 19 700 points on PassMark.
- What we give you: Ryzen 9 7950X3D scoring 64 000 points, 320% faster.
In plain English: every time your friend spawns a TNT cannon, the GG node wheezes. Our node just shrugs and keeps ticking at 20 TPS.
2. Price vs performance
GG’s Premium plan costs £3.00 / GB for the 7700K. We charge £1.50 / GB for the 7950X3D. You’re literally paying double for a chip we retired from our Basic tier.
3. Support & “extra” fees
- ExpHost: Discord tickets answered in under 5 minutes, by the same dev who built the node.
- GG Servers: Ticket replies average 15 – 30 min, and “Premium Support” (£5/mo) still leaves users waiting.
4. TLDR for the five-year-olds
- ExpHost: new CPU, less money, free backups, instant help.
- GG Servers: old CPU, more money, pay for extra storage, wait in queue.
