Built by gamers, for gamers.
Academy Hosting started because we were tired of paying premium prices for laggy, oversold servers. So we built the host we always wanted — and a community to go with it.

Our business
Academy Gaming LLC, doing what it loves.
Academy Hosting is the hosting arm of Academy Gaming LLC. What started as a passion project to host servers for our own gaming community has grown into a full-service hosting provider trusted by thousands of players, creators, and businesses worldwide.
We're independent, profitable, and gamer-owned — which means every roadmap decision is made by people who actually use the product, not a board chasing a quarterly number.
- • AMD Ryzen 7 / Ryzen 9 — 5.0+ GHz boost
- • Enterprise NVMe SSDs in RAID
- • 1 Gbps+ uplinks, BGP routed
- • Tier III+ data centers in NA, EU, Asia
- • Path.net / Corero DDoS mitigation
Our mission
Make great hosting accessible.
No surprise fees, no opaque pricing, no salesy upsells — just fast servers, a panel that doesn't get in your way, and humans on the other end of every ticket.
Whether you're spinning up your first 10-slot Minecraft world or scaling a 300-pop Rust wipe night, we want to be the easiest, fastest, and most reliable choice you'll find.
Get in touchOur community
More than a hosting company
We host servers, but we also run a community that has become home to thousands of players, server owners, and developers.
An active Discord
Real-time help, server-owner advice, mod recommendations, and the occasional 3am wipe-night chaos. Staff and veteran customers, all in one place.
Join the DiscordEvents & giveaways
Free server giveaways, community tournaments, and seasonal events that bring our customers together — no purchase required to take part.
Built in public
We share our roadmap, take feedback openly, and credit community members in release notes. Your input genuinely shapes what we ship next.
What we stand for
Six principles, no compromises
Performance first
Every box runs latest-gen AMD Ryzen on NVMe. No HDDs, no shared CPUs, no cutting corners.
DDoS protected
Enterprise-grade mitigation included on every plan, every region, no upsell required.
Truly global
12+ data centers across NA, EU, and Asia so your community gets the lowest possible ping.
Real humans
Tickets answered by people who actually run servers — not a script and a stock reply.
Instant setup
Pay and play. Most servers are live within 60 seconds of checkout.
No overselling
We cap utilisation per node, so what you pay for is what you get. Always.
Sister studio
We design & build websites too.
Beyond hosting, our team at Academy Design ships custom web design, web development, and WordPress projects for gaming communities, esports orgs, and businesses. Same company, same standards — just a different deliverable.
If you need a site to go with the server you're about to launch, we can do both. One team, one invoice, no hand-offs.
Web Design
Brand-aligned visual systems, responsive layouts, and component libraries built around your audience — not a template.
Web Development
Custom React / TanStack builds, API integrations, and performance-tuned front-ends when WordPress isn't the right tool.
WordPress Design
From a one-page redesign to a full community site — built so your team can edit it without breaking it.
