Minecraft servers that just work
MCServerHost gives you a free Minecraft server that just works, and paid plans from 2 GB to 48 GB with DDoS protection, instant setup and a full control panel.
MCServerHost is Minecraft server hosting that is running about a minute after you ask for it. Start on the free tier with a world that sleeps when nobody is playing, or take a paid plan from 2 GB to 48 GB and keep it online around the clock. Paper, Purpur, Vanilla, Spigot, Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, plus Velocity and BungeeCord proxies and Bedrock.
Two hardware tiers, one panel. Performance runs on Ryzen 9 9950X with DDR5 memory and unmetered NVMe; Budget runs the same software on SATA SSDs for less. Move between them whenever the server grows, and your world, plugins and address come with you.
Every plan includes a live console, a full file manager with SFTP, MySQL databases, scheduled tasks, backups, plugin and modpack installs from SpigotMC and Modrinth, and DDoS protection. There is no feature ladder: the plan decides the size, not what you are allowed to do.

Frequently asked questions
Is the free Minecraft server actually free?
Yes. There is no card, no trial clock and no ads inside your world. It sleeps a few minutes after the last player leaves and wakes when someone joins, which is what makes it possible to keep giving away.
What is the difference between Budget and Performance?
The same panel and the same features on different hardware. Performance runs on Ryzen 9 9950X with DDR5 memory and unmetered NVMe; Budget runs on SATA SSDs and costs less. You can move between them without rebuilding your world.
Which Minecraft server software can I run?
Paper, Purpur, Vanilla, Spigot, Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, plus Velocity and BungeeCord proxies and Bedrock. Changing version or software takes two clicks.
Can I install plugins and mods?
Yes. Install plugins from SpigotMC and mods or modpacks from Modrinth in the panel, or upload your own jars through the file manager or SFTP.
Do I get full file access?
A full file manager with an editor, SFTP, scheduled tasks, backups and a live console. Nothing is held back for a higher plan.
Can I change plan later?
Yes, in both directions. Your world, plugins and settings stay where they are and only the resources change.
How long does setup take?
About a minute. The server is created, installed and started while you watch.
Is DDoS protection included?
On every plan, free ones included. Nobody has to buy their way out of being attacked.
