Support and service details
Common questions.
How free hosting, server starts, and your world files work.
What happens if the shared server pool is full?
Your start request waits in the server queue. Queue position is shown in your dashboard, and an estimated wait appears when there is enough recent data to make a useful estimate.
Does my world get deleted when my server stops?
No. An idle server stops after ten minutes without players, but stopping it does not delete your world files.
Can every version or modpack run on a free server?
No. Memory needs vary by Minecraft version and software. Only profiles that have passed compatibility checks are offered, and some require a higher-memory plan. The setup flow explains the limit before creating a server.
What do I need to start?
Create an account, choose an available Java Edition setup, accept the Minecraft EULA, and create your server. You can invite players once it is ready.
