Honest comparison
Hostd vs MCProHosting
MCProHosting merged into Apex Hosting and no longer sells servers of its own. Here is what that means if you are still looking for it.
Where MCProHosting is strong
- MCProHosting was one of the longest-running names in Minecraft hosting, and a lot of people still search for it by name. Customer migration to Apex Hosting began on 25 April 2024, and mcprohosting.com is now a landing page whose links all point at Apex, including the terms of service.
- If you were an MCProHosting customer, your server moved to Apex rather than disappearing, and Apex is a capable host with a large modpack library and a wide geographic footprint.
- Apex publish a per-location hardware table, which is more disclosure than most of this market offers and lets you check what you would actually be running on before you buy.
- Apex maintain one of the larger one-click modpack catalogues in the market - their published installer list runs to several hundred entries.

Dedicated cores, not shared ones
Apex sell standard plans as shared vCores and reserve dedicated cores for their EX-Series at a premium. Every Hostd plan runs on the same Ryzen 9700X with hard-reserved RAM.
One fleet, one specification
Apex's own spec table shows Sydney running a 2017 four-core i7-7700K and Tel Aviv on DDR3-era dual Xeons with SATA-class SSDs, priced the same as their DDR5 and NVMe locations. Ours is one hardware specification everywhere.
