// MINECRAFT JAVA SERVER HOSTING FAQ

OBVIOUS QUESTIONS,
OBVIOUS ANSWERS.

Common questions about our free Minecraft Java server hosting. If yours isn't here, hop in Discord — usually answered in under five minutes.

IS IT REALLY FREE? +
Yes. No card on signup, no auto-charge, no "free for 30 days" trick. We make money from people who choose to upgrade — the free tier exists to get you in the door and stay open. Fair deal.
WHAT'S THE 24H RENEWAL? +
To stop ghost servers from clogging the cluster, free leases run for 24 hours. Hit the renew button in the panel and you're good for another 24h. Forget? Your world is preserved for 7 days — log back in any time and pick it up. Going Premium removes the renewal nag entirely.
CAN I INSTALL MODS AND PLUGINS? +
Yes. Forge, Fabric, Spigot, Paper, Purpur are all supported as one-click loaders. Drop JARs into /mods or /plugins via the file manager (or SFTP), restart from the panel, you're modded. Most popular modpacks (CurseForge, Modrinth) install with a single import URL.
HOW MUCH RAM DO I ACTUALLY GET? +
2 GB on the free tier — enough for vanilla servers up to ~25 players, or moderately heavy modpacks (50–100 mods). Need more? Premium starts at $2.50/mo and slot/RAM boosts start at $1.
WHAT VERSIONS ARE SUPPORTED? +
All releases from 1.8 up through the latest 1.21.x. Snapshot/pre-release versions are available too, behind a toggle in the panel.
WHERE ARE THE SERVERS HOSTED? +
Three regions today: US-East (Virginia), EU-West (Frankfurt), and Asia-South (Singapore). Pick at deploy time — the panel shows live ping to each region from your IP.
CAN I MIGRATE AN EXISTING WORLD? +
Yep. Upload your world/ folder via the file manager (or SFTP), make sure your version matches, hit start. We have a migration helper in the panel that walks you through it for worlds bigger than 500 MB.
