3 Benefits of Hosting Your Minecraft Server Remotely

When it comes to online or multiplayer gaming, servers play a very integral part. Many games work in a way where different players connect with each other using these servers, which allows them to play across long distances remotely. For example, if two players are connected to a similar server, they can play with or against each other easily regardless of which part of the world they are sitting in. One of the most popular online games that take advantage of this feature is Minecraft. Minecraft is a game that allows players to build a world full of creativity, explore it, and survive it. Sharing this world with other players is a core feature of this game, and you can use remotely virtualized servers to accomplish that.

If you want to play Minecraft with your friends, you are going to need a server. You can either run a server locally on your computer, which may sound like a cheaper idea or get the services of someone who can provide you with a local server. In this article, we are going to review three benefits of hosting a Minecraft server online rather than hosting it on your computer.

Reduced Cost

As discussed above, if you want to play Minecraft with your friends you are going to need a server. If you do it on your own, you will be required to run a computer 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which can get pretty expensive. When you look at the facts, an average computer draws at least 500W of power when a game server is running on it. Running that pc 24 hours a day at minimum 15c per kWh is going to cost you nearly $650 each year. On the other hand, if you go for a Minecraft server rental service, you can save a lot of money.

Low Latency and Improved Network

Hosting a server is not a piece of cake. Regardless of what you might think, not everyone can do it. Running a server locally means that you have to rely on your residential internet service provider, who might not be capable of providing you with the best speed. Moreover, running a server takes up a lot of bandwidth, which means that your internet speed will get very slow, and you won’t be able to use it for anything else. With a Minecraft server hosted remotely by someone else, you can rest assured that your game will run smoothly without any lag or delay.

24*7 Availability 

When you host a server locally on your computer, you are going to need to run it all the time so that it remains active. Whenever you close your PC or shut it down, the server will disconnect, automatically kicking all the players. With a remote Minecraft hosted by a proper service, you can expect a 100% guaranteed uptime and complete reliability that the Minecraft server will be up and running whenever you need it.
