Pretty good servers, for free it is very impressive.
Amazing free hosting
AI-Powered Support :[
For a free service, I cannot deny this outclasses other options like aternos. When it works fine, its an excellent choice. However, when a server side issue arose and i went to their discord for support, I was met with an AI bot which immediately left a bad taste in my mouth. I really really hope they consider replacing this bot with real people in the near future, as i now fear the people in charge are perfectly fine with using an AI bot, disregarding all the issues with doing so.

Good for Casual/Private Use
Queues are mid but actual server performance recently has been really good. Ping to Brighton is 3-5ms so I am quite happy with it. This is good for people who wants some customization and wants to just host with friends, but using something like Free Oracle Cloud would be the better/more reliable option (it's also hosted in London so I get 1ms to it)

The hosting is free
The hosting is free. Is the best free hosting rver! You get up to 4gb rams and good CPU. I have this server for developing my own stuff.
Amazing free Minecraft hosting
For the price you are paying (free) you get an amazing experience. This is my first time using a proper Minecraft hosting platform and it's much better than expected. I've used places like Minehut and Aternos before but those options are not the greatest and lead to poor performance.
Subdomain system is broken & zero customer support
The server setup process went fine until I tried adding a subdomain. No matter what custom domain or ID you enter, the system falsely claims it is already taken. I reported this bug to their support desk, got stuck talking to a bot, and was eventually told it was escalated to an agent. It has now been over 8 hours with zero response or resolution. Very disappointing experience.

The website is very easy to use while also having in-depth configurations, its free, supports cracked versions, easy to use and swap softwares any time, and overall just a great experience. The only limit you'll really have is the 3gb ram limit but even when 1 gb over the ram limit it shouldn't crash frequently, heavily reccomend

Server suddenly stops working
I was playing witherstorm mod with my friends and after around a week of playing the server suddenly crashes and when i try to start it up it says out of memory. I had to revert back to old backup and lost my progress. I guess the ram limitation isnt bad though

Finally a good alternative to aternos!
Finally a good alternative to aternos! My only problem is an unfortunate downtime right when I started using this thing, but otherwise - it's very good. I wish it didn't enter limbo for no reason and an ability to change server desc and\or icon.

Bought a Lite VPS
Bought a Lite VPS. Once I paid and went through the easy setup on the website it was running in less than 1 minute. Root Access, really performant. And the price is AMAZING. Highly Recommend.
