Is hosting really free?

Yes — 100% free and permanent. The free tier never expires and needs no credit card: 100% CPU, 1.5 GB RAM and 10 GB disk for bots/apps, or 200% CPU, 3 GB RAM and 10 GB storage for Minecraft, 24/7.

Will my free server go offline?

No. Free servers run 24/7 and never sleep — your bot stays online and your Minecraft world never needs waking up.

What can I host for free?

Minecraft Java servers, Discord bots, Telegram bots, web apps and scripts. Node.js, Python, Java and Go supported.

How do I get a free Minecraft server?

Sign up, pick Vanilla, Paper, Spigot, Folia or Fabric, choose a version and deploy. It auto-installs on the US-Texas node in under a minute with your own subdomain.

Do I need a credit card?

No. Create a free account and deploy your first server without any payment details. Paid plans are optional from $2/mo.
