Minecraft hosting questions.
Is AxentHost really free?
Yes. AxentHost runs on a credit system: you get free credits to run your Minecraft server, and you can keep earning more for free. There is no paywall to create one and start playing. See "How are servers free on AxentHost?" above for the full explanation.
Do I need a credit card?
No. Creating an account and launching a free Minecraft server needs only an email and a password. No credit card or payment method is required at any point.
Do free servers sleep or shut down when nobody is playing?
No. AxentHost has no idle sleep and no activity queue - your server stays online even when nobody is connected, unlike hosts that pause empty ones. The only thing that stops it is running out of credits; while it is credited, it keeps running whether players are online or not. See how servers stay free on AxentHost for the credit system in detail.
How much RAM do I get for free ?
You can configure up to 16 GB of RAM, starting from 2 GB. You choose how much your server uses, and higher RAM simply consumes credits faster.
How many players can join my server?
AxentHost does not cap your player slots - the practical limit is your server RAM and the game version you run. You set the slot count yourself in server.properties.
Can I install mods, plugins and modpacks?
Yes. AxentHost supports Paper, Spigot, Purpur and Folia for plugins, and Forge, NeoForge and Fabric for mods, with one-click installs from CurseForge and Modrinth. Popular plugins like EssentialsX, LuckPerms and WorldEdit work out of the box.
Does AxentHost support Java and Bedrock? Can they play together?
Yes to both. You can run Java Edition or Bedrock Edition servers, and you can enable crossplay between Java and Bedrock players using our GeyserMC option so friends on any device can join the same world. Follow our guide to create a crossplay server with Geyser.
How do credits work, and what happens if I run out?
Your server spends credits for each hour it runs; more RAM and disk cost more per hour. When your balance runs out, the server is safely powered off and a backup of your world is kept, so nothing is lost - you can restore and restart it once you have credits again. You top up by earning more free credits in your dashboard - see how servers stay free on AxentHost for the ways to earn them.
Can I use my own domain, and how do my friends join?
Your server gets its own address you can share with friends so they can connect directly. You can also point your own domain at it. Step-by-step guides are in our Minecraft server setup guides.
WHAT PLAYERS SAY
What players say about their Minecraft servers
Overall amazing
Easy to use, nice credit system for free gaming.
Someone simply sent me a link with instructions, which was very effective; very responsive (no more than 2 hours for a reply) thanks again for the help!
I think that's the only service, where i can host scp:sl server for free and it's doing it's job very well.
Free and Easy. Great process. Easy to use.
Easy to navigate and cheaper than paying monthly with their credit system!
Used the site for Minecraft hosting. I like the way the credit system works, it helped keeping the server running for days.
Best Free Hosting, better than Aternos!
Awesome website, really enjoyed the 2 week Minecraft phase and definitely going to subscribe for the next big project. Thank you for the good free experience and the coins system.
It works great. The website is very clean and user friendly and it was really easy to set up the server. Exactly what you want to find when you're no expert. Devs should take notes. Discord server and YouTube channel also active and helpful.
They do hourly service which is great, I have a garrys mod community where I run events every 2 weeks based on what the community wants, and instead of paying for a machine for an entire month, I can just open and shut whenever I want my server. It is great because I only need 5 hours max to setup the server based on voted gamemode and then the 2 hours event time that we play. Literally costs me not even 1 euro per month. Plus they give you enough free credits that stacks and you can host servers for free.
This server hosting is the best i love it and it runs soo smooth.
Your Minecraft world, online in forty seconds.
No card, no slot limit, no host to keep awake. Just claim your credits and play.
