Frequently Asked Questions — Minecraft Server on AIC Cloud

What latency will Indian players see?
AIC Cloud Singapore datacenter delivers 40-80ms latency to Indian cities — well within the playable range for Minecraft (under 150ms is excellent). For ultra-low latency, dedicated India datacenters (coming soon) will offer 5-15ms.
Can I run a Minecraft server 24/7 on AIC Cloud?
Yes — AIC Cloud VPS is always-on with no time limits. Configure your Minecraft server as a systemd service for auto-restart on crashes. For backups, use mcMMO scheduled backups or rsync to off-server storage (Backblaze B2 ~$0.005/GB/mo).
Do I need a dedicated IP for my Minecraft server?
No — all AIC Cloud VPS include 1 dedicated IPv4 address by default. Players connect via your IP or domain pointed to that IP. No need for additional addresses unless running multiple servers on different ports with separate domains.
