01 - WHY PLAYERS SWITCH

Four reasons people leave Aternos for AxentHost.

None of these are secrets - they are the three complaints in every "Aternos alternative" thread, plus the one nobody expects.

Your server stops sleeping the moment you stop paying attention

On Aternos the server shuts down shortly after the last player leaves. That is fine for a weekend build session and painful for anything with redstone, crops, breeders or a Discord full of people in different timezones.

On AxentHost the only thing that stops a server is running out of credits, and you decide when that happens. Claim through the day and it simply keeps running.

ON ATERNOS

Sleeps when empty

No queue, ever - you press start and it starts

The waiting line is the single most complained-about part of free Minecraft hosting. At peak hours you can sit and watch a position counter instead of playing.

We size capacity so credits are the only gate. Press start, wait roughly forty seconds for the boot, share the address.

Up to 16 GB of RAM, and you choose how to spend it

A fixed free allocation forces a choice between a modpack and a big world. Credits let you do both, just not at the same time.

Run 4 GB permanently for a vanilla survival, or dump everything into 16 GB for a Saturday modded session. Resize between sessions in seconds - no plan, no ticket.

Thirty other games, one credit balance, and teams that share it

Aternos hosts two games, Minecraft and Hytale. When your group inevitably spends a month on Palworld or wants a Rust wipe, you are back to hunting for a host.

Everything here runs off one account. And with teams, four friends claiming credits fund one genuinely big server - with per-server rights so you decide who can touch the console, the files or the restart button.

02 - THE HONEST PART

Which one is right for you?

We are not going to pretend Aternos is bad. It is a good service with a huge community. It is just built for a different kind of player.

STAY ON ATERNOS IF…

Aternos might still be the better call

  • You want the absolute shortest path to a vanilla world and do not care that it sleeps between sessions.
  • You only ever play Minecraft or Hytale, and you never expect to host anything else.
  • You would rather not claim credits or see a rewarded ad, even optionally.
  • You lean on their very large community wiki and support threads.
  • You already back your world up to your own Google Drive and like it that way.

SWITCH TO AXENTHOST IF…

AxentHost is the better fit

  • You want a server that stays online while your friends are asleep in another timezone.
  • You are tired of the peak-hour queue.
  • You want more than a fixed RAM allocation - modpacks, big worlds, or both.
  • You need real file access: configs, jars, datapacks, and SFTP if you take Premium.
  • Your group plays more than Minecraft, or is about to.
  • You want to host together: shared credits, granular rights, a friend as co-admin.
  • You want the same hardware paying members get, without paying.

03 - MIGRATION GUIDE

Move your Aternos world over in five steps.

Roughly five minutes for a normal survival world. Your builds, your seed, your inventories - all of it comes with you.

  1. Download your world from Aternos

    Open your Aternos server, go to Backups (or Files) and download the world as a .zip. Keep it somewhere you can find it - this is your only copy for the next few minutes.

  2. Create the matching server here

    Sign up, claim your credits and create a server on the same game version and the same loader you were running. Matching the version is the one step people skip and regret.

  3. Stop the server, then upload the folder

    Open the file manager, delete the freshly generated world folder, and upload your zip into the server root. Unzip it in place - the panel does it for you, or use SFTP with Premium for very large worlds.

  4. Point the config at your world

    Open server.properties and set level-name to the exact folder name you just uploaded. Save it. That is usually all the configuration a migration needs.

    level-name=my-aternos-world

  5. Copy your plugins, then start

    Drop your plugins or mods and their config folders in, hit start, watch the console for a clean load, and share the new address with your friends.

BEFORE YOU START

Keep a local copy of your world zip until you have logged in and confirmed everything is there. Always.

Match the Minecraft version and loader exactly. Opening a 1.20 world on 1.21 can permanently change chunks.

Very large worlds are far happier over SFTP than through a browser upload - that is one of the reasons Premium includes it.

Stuck halfway?

Drop your world in the Discord migration channel and someone from the team will walk you through it, usually within the hour.

Ask on Discord

Coming from somewhere else?

The same five steps work for the other free hosts and any provider that lets you download a world folder.

04 - NOT JUST MINECRAFT

One account, thirty-plus games.

Aternos hosts two games: Minecraft and Hytale. If your group drifts to Palworld for a month and then wants a Rust wipe, you would need two more hosts and two more logins. Here it is the same credits and the same panel.

05 - FAQ

Switching questions, answered.

Is AxentHost really free, like Aternos?

Yes. No card, no trial, no expiring promo. You claim credits - fifteen an hour on the web, up to thirty more from the mobile apps, plus a daily spin - and five credits run one gigabyte of RAM for an hour. Advertising and optional Premium subscriptions pay for the hardware.

Do I have to wait in a queue to start my server?

No. There is no shared waiting line here. If you have the credits, your server boots in about forty seconds.

Does my server shut down when nobody is playing?

Only when your credits run out. It does not sleep because the last player logged off, which means your farms keep ticking and your Discord friends can hop on before you get home.

How much RAM can I get for free?

Between 2 and 16 GB, decided purely by how many credits you have. Claim regularly, or pool credits in a team, and 8 to 16 GB is entirely realistic without paying.

Is there a player slot limit?

No, on any game. Slots are never something we sell. RAM is the only real constraint on how many friends can join.

Can I move my Aternos world to AxentHost?

Yes. Download the world folder from your Aternos backups, create a server here on the same Minecraft version and loader, upload the folder in our file manager and point level-name at it. Five steps, about five minutes - the guide is right above.

Are mods and plugins supported?

Paper, Spigot, Purpur, Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Bedrock, plus full access to plugins, configs and jars. Premium adds SFTP if you would rather work in FileZilla.

What does Premium change?

Nothing about the hardware. It removes ads, raises your claim to twenty-five credits in one go every hour, halves the spin cooldown to twelve hours, allows up to three servers per game, unlocks SFTP and grows teams to ten members. 4,99 € for the first month, then 8,99 €, cancel in one click.
