MinecraftLayer was founded in 2011 by Nick A. and Thomas B., the owners of NickHost.net and VPSInfinity respectively. MinecraftLayer (MCLayer) is run by experienced hosts who love Minecraft! Every client matters to us, which is why we put so much effort into our customer service. Minecraft hosts are popping up everywhere, but two things set MCLayer apart: our great prices and our excellent customer service. We strive to make each client feel like a VIP because we know that's the best way to run a business.
MCLayer's servers are hosted in several datacenters across the US. All of our nodes run on Xeon Quad Core CPUs (X3470s and E3s) with Hyperthreading and Turbo. We host all of our VPSs on SSDs and DDR3 RAM. Our top quality hardware keeps lag down and client satisfaction up.
Nick founded the web hosting business NickHost.net in 2006. After several years of offering shared hosting, Nick decided to enter the VPS market. Around the same time, Nick became slightly addicted to the awesome game known as Minecraft and decided it would be worth his time to offer hosting for Minecraft servers. Thus, MinecraftLayer was born!
Nick was born and raised in Orlando, FL and is married to Page. He is also a full-time student-athlete at Rollins where he is working towards a B.S. in IT. In his spare time (what little of it there is!) Nick enjoys pelting his buddies with snowballs in Minecraft and obliterating zombies in Call of Duty.
Nick is a Reformed Baptist and he attends St. Andrew's in Sanford, FL.
