Built for Communities, By a Community

Most Minecraft hosts make you choose: cheap but oversold, or reliable but overpriced. We don't think that's a fair trade.

The Problem

The hosting industry is broken

Deceptive pricing with hidden fees. AI chatbots replacing human support. Oversold nodes causing degraded performance. Hosts that fundamentally misunderstand modded servers.

Cancellation is deliberately difficult. "One-click modpack installation" rarely works. RAM guidance is wrong. Support staff can't troubleshoot beyond restarting servers.

We've been there. We got tired of it. So we built something better.

Common frustrations we've experienced:

  • Low introductory rates that spike on renewal
  • Critical features locked behind expensive add-ons
  • AI chatbots that can't resolve real issues
  • Performance degrading as hosts oversell hardware
  • Cancellation requiring tickets that go unanswered
  • "One-click modpack installation" that rarely works
  • Wrong RAM guidance for heavy modpacks
  • Support staff who can't troubleshoot mod conflicts
Our Solution

No overselling. No chatbots. No gotchas.

Just hosting that works.

Radical Transparency

Public node stats, real-time dashboards. See exactly what you're paying for.

No-Gotcha Pricing

Same features every plan. You're just paying for RAM.

Built for Modpacks

Ryzen 9 7950X3D, DDR5 ECC, NVMe. Hardware that handles heavy packs.

Humans, Not Chatbots

Support from people who've actually crashed a server before.

Our Vision

To become the most trusted and innovative Minecraft hosting provider, setting a new standard for what server owners should expect from their host.

Our Mission

To deliver exceptional Minecraft server hosting through unwavering reliability, radical transparency, and a relentless focus on what players and communities actually need.

What We Stand For

Our Core Values

Customer Obsession

Every decision starts with: "Does this benefit our customers?" We exist to serve server owners and their communities.

Radical Transparency

No hidden fees. No vague downtime excuses. No corporate speak. We tell it like it is, even when it's uncomfortable.

Relentless Reliability

Uptime isn't a marketing claim. It's a promise. Our customers' servers are their communities. We treat them that way.

Restless Innovation

The industry got comfortable. We didn't. We're always asking what hosting could be, not just what it's always been.

Community at the Core

We're not just a service provider, we're part of the ecosystem. We build with you, not just for us.

From the Founder

A message from Shay

I started Obsidian Servers because I was tired of the same problems everyone faces with Minecraft hosting. Oversold servers. Support that doesn't understand the game. Hidden fees that appear after you've already set everything up.

We're not trying to be the biggest host. We're trying to be the one you'd actually recommend to a friend. The one where you know exactly what you're getting, and it just works.

Every decision we make starts with one question: "Does this benefit our customers?" If the answer isn't yes, we don't do it.

Who We Serve

Built for communities like yours

👥

Friend Groups

5-20 players setting up a server to play together. You want it to just work without becoming a sysadmin.

🏰

Small Communities

20-50 players with a Discord community. You've been burned by oversold nodes and unresponsive support before.

🔧

Modpack Players

Running ATM10, Vault Hunters, or 200+ mod packs. You need hardware that won't choke and RAM guidance that's actually correct.

No overselling. No chatbots. No gotchas. Just hosting that works.
