Who this is for

Anyone who wants a Minecraft server that's actually online when they log in — friend groups, small communities, modpack testers, server admins prototyping new ideas. If you've ever waited 30 seconds for Aternos to boot or hit Minehut's slot cap, you're in the right place.

Pick a server type

  • Paper — plugins, the default for SMP and survival.
  • Purpur — Paper + extra gameplay knobs.
  • Forge / Fabric — mods and modpacks.
  • Bedrock — Windows, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, mobile.
  • Vanilla — pure, unchanged Minecraft.

How it works

  1. Sign up (no card, 30 seconds).
  2. Pick a type and version.
  3. Server is provisioned in under a minute with an IP like play.freemchost.com:25565.
  4. Share the IP with friends — done.

Plans & RAM

The free plan uses a shared RAM pool up to 24 GB and is gated by a queue when slots are full. Paid plans skip the queue, allocate more RAM, and remove the 48-hour renewal. Paid plans can be switched between tiers anytime; free tier servers cannot be upgraded in place — create a new paid server and migrate your world via the file manager.

What you can build

Survival SMPs, creative build worlds, modded tech servers, public hubs with plugins, Bedrock cross-play servers via Geyser, modpack test environments. The full plugin and mod ecosystems work — drop the .jar in and restart.

Migration from another host

Coming from Aternos, Minehut, or any other provider? Download your world folder and re-upload it via our file manager. The full guides are linked below.
