Hosting, domains, Docker & Ollama for Minecraft Hosting

Minecraft Hosting now includes custom domains, Docker-based VPS & Ollama AI hosts, subscription unlocks, and a full pricing feature matrix—plus the panel tools you already use for Java and Bedrock servers.

We’ve shipped a major wave of features on [Nodedistro Minecraft Hosting](https://nodedistrominecrafthosting.com). Here’s what’s new and how to use it. ## Custom domains Point your own hostname at Minecraft servers from the Domains area in the dashboard. Connect addresses and DNS stay managed alongside your worlds. ## Hosting — VPS, Docker & Ollama Open **Dashboard → Hosting** to run more than Minecraft: - **VPS** — Ubuntu-style containers with persistent disk and a web shell - **Ollama** — local AI models with a public `OLLAMA_HOST` URL (`{name}-host.nodedistrominecrafthosting.com`), model list per host, and background pulls - **Docker image / Compose** — run images or paste a `docker-compose.yml` (ports remapped into the panel pool) **Note:** Hosting (VPS / Ollama / Docker) requires an **active paid subscription**. Credit packs alone do not unlock it. Stop/delete still work without a sub so you can shut hosts down. ## Subscriptions & pricing - Recurring plans unlock Hosting and optionally unlimited Minecraft usage - Public **Pricing** on the homepage shows every feature in a Starter / Credits / Subscription comparison - Billing plan cards list what’s included (including Hosting unlock) ## Minecraft panel (as before, improved) Paper, Fabric, Forge & Velocity · live console · files · plugins / Modrinth · backups · Geyser · status page · referrals & credits ## Get started 1. Sign in at [nodedistrominecrafthosting.com](https://nodedistrominecrafthosting.com) 2. For VPS/Ollama: **Billing → Subscribe**, then **Hosting → New host** 3. For Minecraft: create a server as usual (1 GB free tier still available) Questions? Open a support ticket from the panel or contact hello@nodedistro.com.
