Raven Host

Free Skynode Alternative — No Sleep Mode

Skynode gets you online fast but free servers sleep with inactivity and the free plan limits your settings. Raven Host is the Skynode alternative that keeps your server 24/7.

The problem with Skynode

Skynode's free tier is quick to start, but your server goes to sleep when idle and the free plan restricts your settings. Great for a quick test, limiting for a world you want online.

How Raven Host differs

Raven Host runs free Minecraft servers 24/7 with no sleep mode and full settings. 200% CPU, 3 GB RAM and 10 GB storage, Vanilla/Paper/Spigot/Folia/Fabric, auto-install on the US-Texas node, and a subdomain like yourgame.games.ravenhost.space your friends can always reach.

Deploy in under a minute

Sign up, open the store, pick a Game plan (or the free tier), choose Paper or Vanilla, type your Minecraft version and hit deploy. On the US-Texas node it auto-installs and starts — you get a subdomain like yourgame.games.ravenhost.space to join in minutes.
