How the free hosting works
Create an account
Sign up in your browser. No card and no subscription.
Deploy a server
Pick a game and a size. Your server is online in about a minute with its own address at name.hostfree.games.
Keep it online for free
A running server uses credits each hour. You and your community can earn them for free, and your players do not even need an account to help. A stopped server costs nothing.
02 · Control panel
A real control panel
Everything runs in the browser. Deploy, tune, and watch your server from one screen.
File manager
Browse, edit, and upload server files in the browser. No FTP client needed.
Mods and plugins
Run Paper, Fabric, or Forge. Install plugins and mods, or deploy a whole modpack.
One click deploy
Pick a game, pick a size, deploy. No setup guides and no port forwarding.
Pause and resume
Out of credits? The server pauses and every file stays put. Refuel and resume.
Your own address
Every server gets a name.hostfree.games address your friends can join.

04 · Pricing
Free to run, pay only if you want more
Everything is priced in one currency: credits. A running server burns credits per hour; a stopped one burns nothing.
Free and ad supported
Watching an ad or spinning the daily wheel earns credits. Buying credits is optional.
No subscriptions
There is no monthly bill and no card on file. Credits are the only currency.
Pay for uptime only
Credits drain by the hour, and only while a server is online. A stopped server costs nothing.
More than one server
Add a second server whenever you want. Extra simultaneous servers cost a flat weekly credit price.

Questions
When does hostfree.games launch?
Soon. Leave your email on the waitlist and we will tell you the moment it is live.
Is hostfree.games really free?
Yes. The service is ad supported: watching an ad or spinning the daily wheel earns the credits that keep your server online. Buying credits is optional.
Can my community help keep the server online?
Yes, and they do not need an account. Anyone who plays on your server can earn credits for it. The more people who pitch in, the longer it stays online for free.
How do I keep a server running for free?
Running a server costs credits per hour. Earn credits with the daily wheel, by watching ads, and soon by referring friends.
What happens when I run out of credits?
The server pauses and your world and files stay put. Add credits and resume where you left off.
Do I need a credit card?
No. You can sign up, deploy, and keep a server online without adding any payment method.
Which games can I host for free?
Minecraft (Java Edition) is first. Terraria, Factorio, Valheim, Rust, Palworld, Satisfactory, and ARK are planned.
How many servers can I run?
One to start. You can run more servers at the same time for a flat weekly credit price each.
Are there ads on my server?
No. Ads only appear when you choose to watch one to earn credits. Your server itself never shows ads.
