Five stars from players like you
Since February 2025, over a million servers have trusted Play Hosting.
Don't just take our word for it:
PEAK
ITS GREAT ITS THE FIRST WEBSITE TO GIVE 3 GB RAM FOR FREE.
The best hosting ever
The best hosting ever. Free 19132 port if you are joining from bedrock and 3+2gb ram and their vps is amazing I'm probably buying one later if my Minecraft server gets popular and obviously somethings could improve like more tps and better chunk loading but they keep improving the servers and listening to the community.
Why Play.Hosting is THE site for MC servers
Helped me host multiple modded servers that ran for more than 2 months and had several amazing experiences.
The gift that keeps on giving
Honestly, the service keeps getting better since I started using it. I'm impressed, I came from aternos because I had no freedom to edit mods and config files in modpacks but this has so much more than I could ever ask for. It's actually getting so good that it's worrying: how long can this last without crashing and burning?
Highly recommended
In my opinion, it’s highly recommended—partly because it’s completely free and doesn’t cause much lag when you’re far apart or playing with two or more friends. And don't even get me started on the render times; for a free server, the loading speeds are incredible. Sure, there might be the occasional brief bit of lag here and there, but that’s nothing compared to Aternos.
Great service, great value
Play.hosting provides minecraft servers FOR FREE. FREE. did I mention its free? Anyway, the customer service is also great (through discord) with an active community. I have never had any problems, run out of ram, storage, cpu, etc (even w/ multiple players and many mods). Wake up times are only high at certain times of the day, and are almost instantaneous other times.
Best free minecraft server provider
I like the amount of ram and cpu they provide
Honest review
I have used this service since it first came out. The performance is top notch and is ever increasing. My servers runs as if it was paid for, even when I was running a heavily modded modpack. I have literally nothing negative I can say apart from not being able to edit files quickly without waiting in limbo. Other than that, it is the best free hosting I have ever used in my life
great sevice
free severs that run well and that you can mod.
Really Good
Very responsive and overall great experience. The fact that, as a free host, it provides better specs than the other alternatives and even some of the paid ones is completely insane! If I could give it 6 stars I would!
Best free and paid hosting provider
Play.hosting is truely one of the best Minecraft hosting providers, they have a lovely staff, Tibo who makes amazing videos and shows the behind the scenes of the effort to make play.hosting the best free hosting providers. They offer top class hardware for free and 3 GB of ram per server. Currently they only have one location however they are planning to expand. Would recommend 10/10 on of the best hosts out there! They also offer VPS hosting for a great price.
I have been using it for the past few days and loving it

So far one of the best mc hosting website
So far one of the best hosting websites for Minecraft, having ability to customise your server as you wish and use all resources are one of the best things I possibly imagined about while I was on aternos
my goat
by far the best free minecraft server host around, was able to run (albeit with some difficulty) a modpack with 600+ mods with little to no lag

It's mostly a free Minecraft server
It's mostly a free Minecraft server service, although its expanding to different hosting services as it keeps growing. Ultimately, if you are looking for a good public server in Minecraft that you can own and use with friends play.hosting is a solid option. Yes it will have some caveats, especially in times of overloading capacity, but those are expected and notably worse in other free alternatives.
