Hytale server hosting

Hytale server hosting at CakeHosting starts at €4.95 a month, including VAT. Your world stays reachable even when your own PC is switched off. The server runs the official Hytale server software in our game panel: link it to your Hytale account once and your friends can jump in. Ready for Chapter I, announced for 12 October: a restart brings your server to the new version.

How much memory do you need?

Hytale needs at least 4 GB of memory. That is plenty for a few friends; if you explore far apart or add plugins, go one plan up. You can always move to a bigger plan in the same line later.

Standard or Premium for Hytale?

The Hytale server is a Java program and likes fast cores. For a small group, Standard is a fine start; for a public server or lots of plugins, Premium is the better pick.

Who is a Hytale server for?

A Hytale server is for groups of friends who want to build one world together, and for creators who want to work with plugins and their own rules. If you know Minecraft servers, this will feel familiar: one world that keeps running when you are offline, and you decide who joins.

Playing alone, or now and then with one friend while you are online yourself? Then you don’t need your own server.

Setting up your Hytale server

Just ordered? First steps after your order shows you how to get into the game panel. To change the settings in the Startup tab, see Change your server settings under Startup.

  1. Step 1: Order your plan

    Choose Standard or Premium above. After you pay, our system creates the Hytale server automatically.

  2. Step 2: Link your Hytale account

    Start the server in the game panel and type /auth login device in the console. Open the link that appears, enter the code and log in with your Hytale account.

  3. Step 3: Keep the link

    Then type /auth persistence Encrypted. The server remembers the link, so you don’t have to repeat this after every restart.

  4. Step 4: Invite your friends

    Share the server address with the port from the game panel. In the Startup tab you choose, among other things, whether operators are allowed.

What does a Hytale server need?

Hytale is the sandbox adventure game by Hypixel Studios. You build, explore dungeons and fight creatures together, and since early access began on 13 January 2026 you can run your own dedicated servers for it. For years the old CakeHosting site had a Hytale page that said the game was not out yet. That page can finally retire.

How much RAM does a Hytale server need?

The official Hytale Server Manual asks for at least 4 GB of memory and Java 25, which is why our smallest plan starts at 4 GB. View distance matters most: the further players can see and the more they explore apart from each other, the more the server has to keep in memory. Hypixel recommends a maximum view distance of 12 chunks. With a few friends, CupCake 4 GB is a fine start. If you spread out to explore or add plugins, pick Cake 6 GB or BIGCake 8 GB. For a public server with lots of players, SuperCake 12 GB gives you room to grow.

What can you change in the game panel?

In the Startup tab you choose the patchline (release or pre-release) and whether operators are allowed. Mods and plugins go into the mods folder as .zip or .jar files, for example from CurseForge. Your whitelist and permissions live in whitelist.json and permissions.json, and the other settings in config.json. Edit those files while the server is stopped, because the server writes to them while it runs.

How do you get started?

Once you have paid, the server is ready. Start it, link your Hytale account with the code from the console and share the address with the port. Then make a first backup straight away: early access means frequent updates, and a backup is your safety net. Still weighing self-hosting against renting?

Frequently asked questions

Is Hytale out yet?

Hytale has been playable in early access since 13 January 2026, through the Hypixel Studios launcher. Chapter I, the first big update with a new dungeon and a boss, is announced for 12 October 2026. Your server updates itself when it restarts; make a backup before this big update.

How is Hytale different from Minecraft?

Both are about building and exploring in a world of blocks. Hytale puts more weight on adventure, with dungeons, creatures and bosses, and comes from Hypixel Studios, founded by the people behind the Minecraft server Hypixel. For your server it feels like Minecraft Java: the server is a Java program and mods and plugins go into the mods folder.

Do I need a Hytale account for my server?

Yes. You link the server to your Hytale account once with /auth login device in the console. With /auth persistence Encrypted the link survives a restart.

How much RAM does a Hytale server need?

At least 4 GB, according to the official Hytale Server Manual. View distance has the biggest effect. For a group that explores far apart or uses plugins we recommend 6 or 8 GB, and 12 GB for a public server.

Can I use mods and plugins?

Yes. Put them in the mods folder of your server as .zip or .jar files, for example from CurseForge, and restart. In early access a mod can break for a while after a Hytale update, so make a backup first.

Will my server still work after a Hytale update?

Your server checks for a new version on every start and downloads it. Client and server need the same version, so after an update a restart is usually all it takes. In the Startup tab you can also choose the pre-release patchline.

Why won’t my Hytale server start?

Usually the server is not linked to your Hytale account yet. Type /auth login device in the console, follow the steps and then type /auth persistence Encrypted. If it stops starting after an update, take your mods out of the mods folder for a moment: a mod is sometimes not updated yet. Stuck? Get in touch with us.

How do my friends connect to my Hytale server?

With the address and port from the game panel. A domain name without a port does not work in Hytale yet, so always share the address with the port.

Is my Hytale server protected against DDoS attacks?

Yes. Premium comes with DDoS protection through Cloudflare Magic Transit. On Standard, your server has standard DDoS protection from the data centre. For a public server we recommend Premium.
