In my honest opinion, there are many better hosts out there. I was using springracks for a few months, minimal downtime, but I was always having performance issues when I shouldn't be. I figured it was just my own fault due to the amount of mods, and players we had. Well, I swapped to a different hosting provider and my performance problems were solved. Although, i will say springracks was helpful and kind when I did need help, it does feel like I was being cheated out of performance considering I'm paying the same with my new provider as I was with the guys over at springracks. TL;DR Springracks is very helpful, and nice staff but definitely not worth the price. I'd choose another host.

Would not recommend this host. They go out of their way to spy on you and stalk your private activities on your Discord server. If they don’t like what they see about you, then they will ban you from using their services. I had an ImageToMap plugin that lets my players upload images to transform it into a map in Minecraft. I sent a message containing upload url on my Discord server to let players upload memes onto my server. The Springracks staff Brandon saw it. He wiped my server and banned me from their service immediately without saying a word. I wasnt given a warning or word about it. I was so scared. One hour later, he finally sent me a screenshot of my message from MY DISCORD SERVER. I had no idea he was stalking me in my Discord server on his alt account this whole time! I asked why and he said I can’t host non-MC related things. Dude, that plugin takes less than 10 megabytes. Im not using my server as a file storage. Those images were gonna be displayed as maps on my Minecraft server. This is literally a plugin I downloaded from Spigot website. Its definitely Minecraft related! If it wasnt then it wouldn’t be compatible with my Minecraft server. Now Im left with no server for my players anymore. Way to go ruin everything Springracks.

We reviewed your usage of our servers when a community member of ours alerted us of a user sharing a link to a website with our domain attached to it sharing topics that were not related to our services which violated our Terms of Services. We work close with all clients to ensure that their experience with us are positive taking in community input seriously to ensure we offer the best experience for many of our clients here. We do not tolerate crimes and the exposing of leaked DMs of a user not related to our service to be associated with our brand which violates our Terms of use. We were not made aware that any images were being made into maps when our team member that executed your ban discussed it with you. We apologize if that was the case however the contents of the site was something that should be associated with our brand. We are not a web hosting service so any content in it must be Minecraft related which your free trial server was created for. Since there were no clear sign of it being used for a Minecraft server and more as a standalone website, it would unfortunately violate our terms of services you agreed to when using our service. We will improve our handling of such a case like this and ensure that communication between our team and those we believed violated our rules will be made clear to ensure mistakes like violating our Terms of Services unknowingly aren't handled hastily.

I was using SpringRack’s 3 GB server only for a couple of hours. My server was suddenly wiped and my entire account was deleted. They didn’t warn me first or tell me anything. I was just running a Paper Minecraft server with some plugins that I downloaded from Spigot. If there are some plugins that aren’t allowed, then they should’ve told me first instead of banning me right away. This is how strict they are if you download a plugin your not supposed to then they ban you immediately. The support is also very slow. It took them 5+ hours to give me my server.

We're sorry that we gave you a negative experience with us. Unfortunately we would find a user violating our TOS hosting a website that was not related to the service using a plugin to host a website (A service we do not offer as now) displaying very non-appropriate images and details that we do not want our brand to be associated with. We would terminate the Free Trial you had with us as it violated our Terms of Services. We apologize for not communicating better with you regarding the ban and termination of your free trial server. The plugin itself is allowed to be hosted with our services, however the contents in the website was unfortunately not related to the service which violated our Terms of Services. By using the service, you agreed to not violate it which unfortunately you did violate. We will definitely will review this situation and ensure there will be a better communication between both parties if a situation like this occur again ensuring proper steps are done before such actions would proceed.

My experience with renting servers from SpringRacks has been highly inconsistent, veering from decent to downright disappointing. The primary issues that have tarnished my experience are the unreliability and sluggish response times. It's been frustrating to see the server experience downtime every few days, each time without any prior warning or subsequent explanation. Additionally, when we encountered a critical functionality problem on their panel the issue has remained unresolved for the better part of a week. Moreover, in the last four days alone, the service has been down three times, again without any prior notification. This lack of reliability and communication has significantly impacted my opinion of SpringRacks, leading me to rate my overall experience as 1 out of 5.

We're sorry that you had a negative experience with us. We seek to always improve our services and have made efforts to ensure that downtimes like on our Dal-02 server will not happen again. Regarding communication, we do try to communicate with all our clients and answer their questions regarding the unexpected downtime through our communication channel on Discord. We're a small team so we apologize for not attending to your tickets and questions sooner as we were resolving the Dal-02 downtime. We do plan to expand our team in the future to ensure faster response time and will definitely improve our service to ensure you and other clients experience a better experience than what we have provided this week.

Known spammers on Reddit to lure people into switching to their host. It’s really annoying when they do sales pitch to legitimate inquiries every single time. Seriously, their google result for Springracks is just a bunch of self produced advertisements. Don’t go with them, go with a known host like Bloom instead.

Hello, While we do advertise our hosting service on Reddit, we do not 'lure' nor spam our advertisements. You can easily ignore them and go for known hosts if that is what you wish. We do not self produce reviews. If you have time, you can easily speak with our community about their experience. We don't blame you for not trusting our host as it is still new. But we hope that you keep mutual respect for all parties involved. Reviews are made based off of actual experience; not out of spite for annoying you on reddit. While all of the above is true, we gladly invite you to try us out and see for yourself what it's like. Thank you!

I’m an admin of a large Minecraft SMP server hosted on Springracks. They have little downtime here and there, but panel is down now. My players are complaining! This is out of my control. I had some problems like this and the support staff just laughs at us. Be careful, they also cheat your ram to lower than what you pay for. I confirmed this with PaperMC developers. They limit file uploads to 10 mb. I have bad experience with Springracks.

Hello, We apologize for any inconvenience our panel may have caused for you, we have been having some DB issues recently, we never laughed off about any of our downtimes and are serious about our business. Our ram listed on our website is exactly what you paid for. Pterodactyl(The panel we use) allocates a docker container precisely the amount of ram we described on our website. As for the file uploads. We have a 100MB upload limit on our Web file manager, I am unsure what you mean by 10MB. There is also the option to use the SFTP protocol to connect to the server directly and that allows uploads/downloads of any sizes, type or amount. If you would please open a ticket, we can gladly assist you on this matter :)
