Built for groups like yours
Five friends is the classic Minecraft group size — small enough that everyone knows each other's base, big enough for a proper SMP. The free tier handles this comfortably. Vanilla, lightly modded, or a full modpack — you've got the RAM for it.
One person sets up the server, shares the address, and everyone else just joins. No one needs to host it from their PC, no one needs to leave their computer on overnight. If the group plays regularly and wants 24/7 uptime, premium is $6/month — split five ways, that's basically nothing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 4–5 GB of RAM enough for 5 players?
Yes — for vanilla and most modpacks, 4–5 GB is comfortable for five players. Extremely heavy packs may benefit from a premium plan with more allocated RAM.
Can the whole group be online at the same time?
Absolutely. There's no player limit on the free tier — all five of you can be online simultaneously without any issues.
What if we want the server always on?
Premium plans start at $6/month for 24/7 uptime. Split between five friends, that's $1.20 each per month — less than a coffee. You also get premium hardware, no ads, and offsite backups.
