About Host Havoc

We have not published our editorial assessment of Host Havoc yet. This page exists so players who have hosted with them can start leaving reviews straight away — the community scores below are real, and they build up before our own write-up does.

If you have hosted a server with Host Havoc, tell other players how it went.

What we still need to research

  • Data centre locations and the routes they give to European, North American and Oceanic players
  • Current entry pricing, and what the renewal price looks like after any introductory discount
  • CPU generation and clock speed on their game server nodes
  • Which control panel they use, and whether you get real file and console access
  • Backup policy: how many, how often, and whether restoring one costs money
  • Refund window and how it is applied in practice
  • Support response times on a weekday and at 3am on a Sunday

Good for a school club

I run a server for a school club, so my requirements are unusual: it needs to be simple enough that a fourteen year old can be given limited access without breaking anything, and it needs to be reliably up at the same time every week. Both of those have been true. Sub-accounts with restricted permissions work properly, and the scheduled restart has never once failed to fire. The control panel is dated looking but I would much rather have dated and predictable than pretty and surprising.

Moved three communities here and stayed

I have been running community servers for a long time and have used most of the well-known names at some point. This is the first host I have not felt the urge to leave. Hardware is quick, the migration help when I moved the third server across was genuinely useful, and billing has never surprised me once. The panel is not the prettiest but it exposes everything I need including proper SFTP and real logs.

Backups were on the same box

Lost about three weeks of a build because the node failed and the backups were sitting on the same node. That is not a backup and it should not be described as one. To their credit they were upfront once it happened, and they did not charge me for the following month. It does not really replace the world though. Take your own copies wherever you host. I do now, obsessively.

Fine at 4pm, unplayable at 9pm

Classic oversold node behaviour. During the day it was perfectly good, and every evening at peak the tick rate collapsed regardless of what we were doing. I spent weeks convinced it was our plugins. It was not — the same setup on a different provider runs fine on less memory. Support were friendly and completely unable to help, because the answer was that the machine had too much on it.
