Yes — you can run a web map like BlueMap directly from your game server. Full standalone website hosting needed a VPS, and VPS plans aren't sold any more. Here's how each works.

Web maps vs. website hosting

A web map (BlueMap, Dynmap, and similar) runs as a plugin or mod on your existing server and serves its map over a port — so it lives alongside your game. A full standalone website or store is a different kind of workload that needs its own hosting, which we no longer sell since VPS plans were discontinued.

How to host a web map

  1. Install BlueMap (or a similar web map) as a plugin/mod on your server — it serves on a port.
  2. Add the needed port on the IPs & Ports page (you can add ports within your plan).
  3. Share the map via your IP and that port, or point a domain at it.

Tip: Web maps need an extra allocated port — add one on the IPs & Ports page and point BlueMap at it in the plugin's config.

Frequently asked questions

Which port does BlueMap use? Add a port on the IPs & Ports page, then set that same port in BlueMap's config so the two match.

Do you offer full website hosting? No — a standalone website or store needed a VPS, and VPS plans aren't sold any more. A web map like BlueMap runs fine on your game server.
