Platform

Minecraft server hosting built different.

Every feature shipped because a player asked for it. Real priorities, not marketing fluff. UK hosted on Hetzner — fast for your players.

Instant setup

Live in under 60 seconds. Choose your version, pick your software, and your server is running — no waiting, no tickets.

TCPShield DDoS protection

Every server sits behind TCPShield. Attackers hit our proxy, not your server. Your players stay connected no matter what.

UUID-based permissions

Give co-owners and admins panel access using their Minecraft username or UUID. Simple, secure, no shared passwords.

Built by a player

LowLight is run by someone in the Minecraft community. We host PVP texture packs in the Discord. We get it.

Pterodactyl panel

The industry standard. Manage your server, upload files, view console output, schedule restarts — all in one place.

Automated backups

Daily automated backups on all paid plans. One-click restore if anything goes wrong. Your world is safe with us.

Pricing

Simple, honest pricing

No hidden fees. No auto-upgrades. Pay for what you use.

Choose this plan', '', '', ].join(''); result.style.display = 'block'; } // ── FAQ GENERATION ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── var faqData = [ { q: 'Is the free plan really free? No credit card?', a: 'Yes, completely free. No credit card, no trial period. Your 2GB server runs indefinitely. We offer paid plans for when you need more RAM, players, or features — but the free tier has no time limit.' }, { q: 'How long does setup take?', a: 'Under 60 seconds in most cases. Create an account, choose your Minecraft version and software (Vanilla, Paper, Fabric, etc.), name your server — done. Your IP and panel access are available immediately.' }, { q: 'What DDoS protection do you use?', a: 'Every server on LowLight is protected by TCPShield, which absorbs Layer 4 DDoS attacks and hides your real server IP. Hetzner network also provides infrastructure-level mitigation as a second layer.' }, { q: 'Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?', a: 'Yes, at any time from your server panel. Changes take effect immediately. Upgrades are prorated so you only pay the difference for the remaining billing cycle. Downgrades take effect at the next billing date.' }, { q: 'What Minecraft versions and software are supported?', a: 'We support all major Minecraft Java editions (1.8 through latest). Software options include Vanilla, Paper, Spigot, Fabric, Forge, and most major CurseForge/FTB modpacks on Advanced plans and above.' }, { q: 'How do backups work?', a: 'All paid plans include automated daily backups stored off-node. You can restore any backup with one click from the Backups tab in your panel. The free plan does not include automated backups.' }, { q: 'Can I give other people admin access to my server?', a: 'Yes — LowLight uses Minecraft UUID-based permissions. Go to your server\'s Permissions tab and add any player by username or UUID. They get panel access without sharing your password.' }, { q: 'Where are the servers hosted?', a: 'Currently all servers are hosted in the UK (London) on Hetzner infrastructure, giving the lowest ping for UK and EU players. Additional regions are planned as we expand.' }, ]; (function() { function buildFaq() { var list = document.getElementById('faqList'); if (!list) return; list.innerHTML = faqData.map(function(item, i) { return [ '
