Expanse Host vs Prism Nodes

Prism Nodes is one of the few Minecraft hosts also running AMD Ryzen 9 9950X hardware — but only on its separate Performance tier. Expanse Host runs the Ryzen 9 9950X as the standard on every plan.

Why Expanse Host

Where we differ from Prism Nodes

  • Current-gen Ryzen 9 9950X and DDR5 are the baseline on every plan, not reserved for a separate, pricier Performance tier.
  • Flat, plan-based pricing instead of per-GB math across two different hardware tiers.
  • One account also covers dedicated servers, domains, DNS, and Discord bot hosting alongside game servers.
