About TrueTick

TrueTick is Minecraft server hosting with one promise you can check: the CPU your server is sold is the CPU your server gets. Most of this site exists so you can verify it.

Why the CPU matters most

A Minecraft server runs its world on one thread. Twenty times a second it has to finish a tick, and if it can't, the game slows down for everyone on it. So whether a server feels good depends less on how much RAM you bought and more on how much of one CPU core it gets to itself. If a host sells the same core to many servers, you won't notice in the morning, but you will at 8pm.

We don't do that, and it isn't a policy someone has to remember. It's admission control in the platform: when a node has no capacity left, the system refuses to create or wake a server there instead of squeezing it in.

What you can check yourself

  • Live TPS and MSPT in your panel. On Paper, Purpur, Vanilla and Fabric from 1.20.3, TPS is read from the server's own tick counter; Forge, NeoForge and older Paper and Purpur report their own rate. Vanilla and Fabric below 1.20.3 have no tick command, and the panel says so instead of showing a number.
  • A public fleet page. /status shows the current totals, including the CPU still unreserved on the nodes answering now.
  • Benchmarks with their method. /benchmarks lists the machine, the image digest, the load manifest, every raw sample, and the runs we threw out for bad methodology.
  • Comparison pages that credit competitors. /compare is written by the paid host, which is a conflict of interest, so those pages link the competitor's own sources and say where they are better.

How billing works

You top up a wallet and your servers draw it down. Metered servers are billed $0.012 per active GB-hour and cost nothing while asleep. An empty server stays up for its idle timeout (8 minutes by default; owners can set their own per server), then shuts down and wakes again when a player connects. Always-on servers are $3.00 per GB of RAM per month. Which one is cheaper depends entirely on how many hours a day your server is awake; the cost calculator answers that for your case, and unspent credit is refundable under the refund policy.

Who operates it

TrueTick is operated by a sole proprietor (ФОП) registered in Ukraine, the same entity named in the terms of service. Card payments are handled by Paddle as merchant of record, so Paddle appears on your statement and issues invoices and refunds. It is a small operation: support is one inbox and one Discord, answered by people who work on the platform itself.

What we deliberately do not claim

You won't find an uptime percentage, a star rating or a customer count here, because we don't have measurements for them that we'd stand behind. There is no uptime SLA and no promised response time. Where we have no number, the page says so.
