Differences and features between Zampto.net nodes
Each node is different from the others, they can be in different locations, have different components, and different connections.
Note: The country listed for each node refers to the geolocation of the Node-IP, not necessarily its physical location. For example, a node may appear under Italy in this list, but could physically be hosted in a different country.

THIS IS USUALLY THE BEST NODE FOR PREMIUM USERS
Summary
If you want to host a simple personal minecraft server for yourself and 2-3 friends on the Free tier, Node12 or Node11 are solid choices depending on whether you prioritize CPU or ping. If you're on Premium or above and want a very high uptime and low ping, go for Node17, or Node8 if you want better uptime and can accept higher latency. If you need the absolute best CPU performance for a demanding server and are on Premium+, Node18 is the top choice, but ping is higher than Node17.
For other generic uses and depending on what you want to do and what you need, you have to decide, above you will find the list of features of each node.
Recap:
Top-notch CPU performance, Premium+, okay ping: Node18
Low latency, high uptime, good CPU, Premium: Node17
Good CPU, high uptime and scalability, Premium: Node8 and Node10
Decent uptime, cpu and network speed, Free tier: Node12 and Node11
Minimum tiers at a glance:
- Free tier: Node14, Node12, Node11
- Premium: Node8, Node10, Node17
- Premium+: Node18
All nodes support MariaDB, if your server (Minecraft, site, bot, etc.) is hosted on the same node as the MariaDB Server, you can connect via the local IP to the database, which is safer and faster: 172.18.0.1 with the port of your Database Server.
