FreeMC

Free Minecraft hosting

Your own Minecraft server in a minute. No account.

One click gets you a Paper server with 2 GB of RAM, a live console and a full file manager. No email, no sign-up, no card.

By creating a server you agree to the Minecraft EULA and the fair-use rules.

Want more than 2 GB of RAM, or a server that stays on? See our paid plans

Live console

Watch the log as it happens, run commands and start, stop or restart whenever you like.

File manager

Edit configs in the browser, upload plugins and worlds, unzip archives and download backups.

Plugins & versions

Runs Paper, so Bukkit, Spigot and Paper plugins work. Pick the latest version or an older one.

SFTP access

Big world to move? Make an SFTP password and use FileZilla or WinSCP.

Nothing to sign up for

Your server is tied to this browser. Save the restore link and you can get back in from anywhere.

Easy to share

You get an address the moment it's ready. Send it to your friends and play.

How it works

  1. Click create. There's nothing to fill in, just a quick robot check.
  2. Save your restore link. It's your key to the server, since there's no account and no password.
  3. Press start and share the address. Setup takes about a minute. If the Start button isn't ready after that, refresh the page.

Fair use

Free servers share one machine, so a few rules keep it fair for everyone:

Outgrowing free?

Free servers have 2 GB of RAM, sleep when nobody's online and are removed after 14 days without use. For something bigger or always on, take a look at our paid plans.

Questions

Do I really not need an account?

Really. When you create a server, your browser gets a secret key that unlocks it. We also give you a restore link with that key in it. Save the link somewhere safe: it's the only way back in from another device, or if you clear your cookies.

I lost my restore link. Can you recover my server?

If you're still on the same browser, just open your panel and make a new link in Settings. If the browser forgot it too, we can't tell who you are, so the server can't be recovered. That's the price of not having an account.

Can I use mods (Forge or Fabric)?

Free servers run Paper, which supports plugins but not Forge or Fabric mods.

Why did my server stop?

It went to sleep because nobody was online for 15 minutes. Open your panel and press Start. If every free slot is busy, try again in a few minutes.

Can I have more than one server?

One free server per person keeps room for everyone. If you want a fresh start, delete your server in Settings and create a new one.

Can I get more RAM?

Free servers stay at 2 GB. If you need more, have a look at our paid plans.

Where can I get help?

Ask on our Discord. Never post your restore link there, or anywhere else: anyone who has it controls your server.

Already have a server?

Paste your restore link or server key to open it on this device.
