Too expensive

Kinetic is too expensive! I have switched over to Central Hosting as it is not only cheaper, has better support, better specs and a better connection with their customers. Here support feels forced yet at Central I feel like I'm talking to friends as they are so friendly. Kinetic is way too overpriced comparing to other providers. Yes it is cheaper than Bisect or Shockbyte but 17 pound for a 8gb server? For that price I can get three 8GB servers and a 2gb Server from Central. Way better value for a server network. Central Hosting also provides better specs than some locations for example a Xeon E 2288G (Kinetic) VS a i9-9900k (Central). I have been a customer at kinetic and central for a while and this isn't really for me

Minecraft Hosting, Plugins, Mods, Full Customization

**Features Provided for Minecraft Servers.**Kinetic Hosting lets you choose not from a list of provided mods and plugins but it lets you upload your own using a efficient sftp uploader. I've personally used filezilla. You can also just upload files to their website directly if you prefer.Kinetic Hosting has a UI which provides installers for forge and plugins but if you want to do both you'll have to get your own installer. Which is fairly easy.Kinetic Hosting lets you pick your CPU threads and Ram. If you're looking to run a 1.20.1 non laggy server of like 5 people with 50 mods (no machine mods) and 5 plugins then you can pay only like 4$ which is reasonable. You can pay 12$ if you're looking to run something with more mods or players. You do have to pay for a custom IP that's not just a jumble of numbers.Kinetic Hosting has a very user friendly UI which lets you run automatic scheduled commands so that's nice. Additionally Kinetic Hosting lets you easily set players to moderator or banned. It lets you provide staff accounts some level of access to the server console/files if you wish.**The Alternatives to Kinetic Hosting.**Sure, you could run a server on your own machine but that usually consumes quite a bit of electricity and requires you to dumpster dive for computer equipment to run it on. Also that old computer equipment can break down and people can brute force ping connect to your computer's IP to force the server offline. Kinetic Hosting's servers are 24/7 and they manage the actual maintenance of the hardware running the servers.I used to use Aternos/Exaltron. Aternos is free but not 24/7 which means you can't advertise your server on certain reddit pages. Exaltron is very pricey. I also used to use Shockbyte. Shockbyte is a little bit pricer than this service as of now. Shockbyte also basically migrated my server to a new website at one point but they didn't move my automatic scheduled commands. They also screwed up the server installation and when I went to reinstall the installation it deleted all my files. I recommend using Kinetic Hosting rather than Shockbyte since Kinetic Hosting provides the UI and features like Shockbyte but doesn't come with all these strings attached. Oh also, if you want to run mods with plugins on Shockbyte, tough luck because there's weird error messages as well as crashing if you use a custom.jar file like arclight, mohist, or magma (btw as of right now magma has a 0 day exploit so...maybe steer clear of them). Kinetic Hosting lets you actually run arclight and mohist and doesn't generate error messages/crash.I used Pebblehost briefly and they seem okay but they don't let you use scheduled commands unlike Kinetic Hosting as far as I'm aware. Their UI is also less user friendly and robust.
