Our Honest Verdict
Prism Nodes is built for a heavier server than most people on this page are running. If you host a 200 mod pack for a group that plays every night, 18 daily backup slots kept on separate hardware is a real safety net, and a 24 hour free trial lets you load the pack and see how it behaves before paying anything. Its support runs on Discord, live chat, and tickets, so there is always a door open. For that kind of server, $9.99 a month for 4 GiB is a fair price.
For a vanilla or plugin-based server with a dozen friends on it, you are buying headroom you will never touch. Minecraft plans there start at $7.65 a month, more than double our $3 Micro plan, and roughly the price of our $10 Plus plan which gives you 4 GB of RAM, a full core allocated to your server, and 20 GB of SSD storage. Prism Nodes describes its plans by thread count rather than saying the CPU belongs to one server, and states no refund policy; we publish a 48-hour money-back guarantee.
If you decide to come across, pull the world out of a Prism Nodes backup slot or its file manager, upload it in the CraftRift file manager or over SFTP, and update the address your players connect to.
