A Minecraft Server That Stays Up

Keep your server up: no queue, no forced shutdown

Free servers shut down when nobody is connected, queue you at peak hours and share resources with others. Here your server runs until you stop it — and you only pay for the hours it runs.

Questions

Frequently asked

Do I need a card to sign up?

No. Sign-up is free and no card is required. When you want to play, top up your wallet with any amount; you're only charged hourly while your server is running.

Can I stop it whenever I want?

Yes. Stop your server with one click; billing stops after that. Billing is hourly — a started hour counts in full.

How fast does the server start?

After finishing the setup wizard, your server is typically ready within a few minutes; its address appears in the panel.

Can players join from a phone?

Yes. Java + Bedrock cross-play is supported on suitable versions; PC and phone players meet on the same server.
