The modpack host that bills you while you sleep — and the one that does not

BisectHosting is a well-known always-on premium host with strong modpack support across its Budget and Premium tiers. It is a solid choice — but you pay for every idle hour, pricing is tied to RAM, and its creator program effectively requires very large channels.

▎ THE VERDICT ▎

Stay on BisectHosting if you want its specific one-click modpack library on an always-on Premium box, or you value the brand. Switch to ChunkyHost if you would rather not pay for idle hours: you get hibernation billing, dedicated vCPU on GOLD+, 2,400+ pre-tuned modpacks with a mod-conflict auto-resolver, and a creator program open from around 1,000 subscribers.

When BisectHosting is the better choice

  • You specifically want BisectHosting’s large one-click modpack library and are happy running it on an always-on server.
  • You want Premium-tier dedicated hardware kept hot 24/7 — never a wake step — and will pay for the idle hours.
  • Brand familiarity matters to you; BisectHosting is a long-established, widely recommended name.

BisectHosting vs ChunkyHost

Where BisectHosting falls short

  • Always-on billing means you pay for every idle hour, even when nobody is connected. (BisectHosting plans are sold as always-on premium servers.)
  • Pricing is tied to RAM tiers rather than to the CPU/TPS that actually drives modded performance.
  • The creator/partner program is effectively out of reach for small creators, requiring very large channels.

How switching works

Switching is one click: ChunkyHost auto-imports worlds straight from BisectHosting (as well as Apex, Shockbyte and Aternos) — no manual zip-and-upload. And if you make content, our creator program is open from around 1,000 subscribers at /partners, not 50K.

FAQ

Do I keep paying when no one is playing, like on BisectHosting?
No. BisectHosting bills you 24/7 because servers are always-on. ChunkyHost hibernates when the server is empty and wakes the instant a friend connects, so you are billed only for active play — and your panel shows billable time live.
Can I move my BisectHosting modpack server over?
Yes. We auto-import your world from BisectHosting in one click, and you can pick from 2,400+ pre-tuned modpacks. Our mod-conflict auto-resolver catches clashes before they crash your server.
Is the CPU dedicated?
On GOLD and above, yes — you get dedicated vCPU on a Ryzen 9 7950X3D. COAL, IRON and COPPER use shared vCPU. Either way you get live TPS/MSPT graphs so you can see real performance, not just a RAM number.
Your creator program — do I need 50K subscribers?
No. Unlike programs that effectively require ~50K+ subscribers, ChunkyHost’s creator program is open from around 1,000 subscribers. See /partners for details.
What if my server is not online quickly?
If your first server is not online within 60 seconds you get 100% of your money back. Median deploy is 41 seconds, and you can try ChunkyHost for 7 days with no credit card.
