The Recommended and Trusted Shops!

[Keniisu]

Hello there! Are you new to MC-Market? Looking to find a seller who you can trust to offer exactly as described? Then this thread is for you! I'm offering an unbiased, unsponsered post telling about some of the best shops in almost all the categories here on MC-Market sorted by their respective field. Note, if your shop isn't here then it is either hasn't been vouched enough or I don't feel it should be here; it's nothing personal.

How I'm categorizing this is by multiple factors; Affordability, Effectiveness, Support and Reputation. It's rated on a 4-Star system so that's how I'm ranking this if you're curious! Also, please note; I'm only putting up to the max of four services per category for now, perhaps I'll update with more in the future.

HOSTING:​

Plox.Host | Run by Klanx

I've had personal experience with Plox.Host and the reason for the recommendation is how kind the staff seem to be, how responsive they are and more importantly; how inexpensive their services are. They offer Minecraft Hosting at $1.50/GB which is one of the cheapest rates in the business. For anyone looking to run a good budget server and get free services included alongside it, Klanx has your back here with PloxHost!

Clovux | Run by Clovux
My current hosting provider which I enjoy for their clean, slick web design and very reasonable pricing for their servers. They offer Minecraft Hosting at 2.40/GB as well as Web Hosting at $2 for an Unlimited Basic Plan; which granted, is both affordable and great for the person hosting their site. For anyone needing a good hosting provider who's services are great and has a clean, easy to use site for hosting then I'd recommend Clovux.

WulfHosting | Run by Jubble
I've dabbled with WulfHosting; It's another affordable hosting provider that has a good set of things to appeal to people needing a provider for their servers. It has many features at good rates and offers a seemingly good solution for anyone needing either a big or small Minecraft Server with only $1.50/GB. I've had some small issues with WulfHosting (Not a fault of them, my own fault there.), but despite that they seem to be a great host with great prices!

AnvilNode | Run by Hughdunno
I've dabbled with AnvilNode and it appears to be a good host in itself. It offers hosting services that are fairly cheap, and high quality; this allows for server owners to be able to get a good, professional hosting provider without a need for tons of month needing to be used on spending each month. With $2.50/GB it seems very good for the buck and I have to say it's quite the swell provider.

BUILDS:
​

InvarMarket | Run by George
A well vouched-for shop selling high quality builds here on the site! The owner of the thread even has the paid promotion of the pinned thread so it's more accessible to those looking for a Builder for their servers. With the lowest price being $6.95 it isn't the cheapest pricing, but it's quite fair. His builds look amazing at all kinds of angles and the buck is worth what you'll be getting from what I see.

Build Shop | Run by BucketOfSloths
His premade builds are rather affordable and look very nice in general. They have a very original, and generalness to them that makes them useful for almost any and all kinds of servers. He normally prices at $3/Build which is highly affordable especially for the quality of work he provides.

BUILDING SERVICES:
​

VVessel Services | Run by VVessel
A well vouched-for shop and highly-rated shop that offers expert and professional building services for serers in need of them. His builds aren't the most affordable, but for the professional and highly appraised work he provides; it's honestly hard to say it's not warranted. If you have the money to spend and want great work from a builder, VVessel can help you out there!

Gizmo Terrain Shop | Run by Gizmo Terrains
A little on the more affordable side of things we have Gizmo Terrains who offers terrain work for very affordable pricing, that delivers quickly and with some great quality as well. With a pricing of $2 for a 100x100 terrain he is one of the less pricey options out there, but one of the ones who is willing to provide good work for a bargain price.

GRAPHICS:
​

WoodPunch GFX Shop | Run by WoodPunch
The most renown designer both on here and a multitude of other sites. He offers templates, graphics, server logos and everything else you can imagine in the digital field! He's a competitor for me as a Graphic Designer, but I have to commend his great work and stylistic designs in all honesty. He operates very well and is well vouched for in many communities so he's definitely a go-to for Graphics.

LockedOn Productions | Run by LockedOnProductions
More of a person working in the field of Server Graphics, LockedOn provides an affordable solution for getting server designs or even business logos done for yourself. He works very well and I've worked with him before he was as big as he was now and his work was quite well! He offers a variety of Server Graphics allowing for him to be another go-to for Graphics.

MORE CATEGORIES COMING SOON...
Suggest a shop below so I can add more to this​

Looks pretty nice, would be great if you eventually covered all categories. Maybe add Social media boosting, development services (including web), advertising, etc.


Good luck with this

I plan on covering all categories eventually. I'll try to keep this updated periodically

 

[Ivain]

So what are the criteria to be included in this list?

 

[Primal Power]

This is pretty difficult to read on the dark theme. Ever thought about adding a Dark Theme section so people with the dark theme can read it?

 

[Keniisu]

So what are the criteria to be included in this list?

The criteria is mostly due to the feedback given on the thread in question. For example in the case of PloxHost, I've seen it vouched for quite a bit and no problems really have arose on the thread. If you'd like to see a thread on here, do tell.

 

[Ivain]

I see. You could try adding one of mine (hinthint)

Anvilnode should have 5 support.. every time I need something they're on.

I haven't had much experience with them, mind detailing how they're service was in each aspect?

Just because their support team is always on doesn't mean their support team is good.
