Free Minecraft server hosting
that wakes up when your friends join.

Most free hosts put your server to sleep, then leave your friends staring at a connection error until you log in and press start. Ours wakes itself the moment anyone tries to join. No queue, no ads, no credit card, on enterprise Dell hardware with a full control panel.

Common questions

Straight answers about how the free tier actually works

Is Gamers Freedom really free?

Yes. The Starter tier is 3 GB of RAM at no cost, with no advertising, no forced queue and no credit card required. Paid tiers exist for people who outgrow it, but the free tier is not a trial.

Does my server shut down when nobody is playing?

It stops after 12 hours with no players connected, which is how the free tier stays sustainable. Nothing is deleted - your world, plugins and configuration are preserved exactly as you left them.

What happens when someone tries to join a sleeping server?

It wakes up automatically. Any player can trigger it just by attempting to connect, and the server is usually ready in about 30 seconds. The owner does not need to be online or open the control panel.

How much RAM do I get on the free plan?

3 GB. Refer one friend who signs up and verifies their email and your free server is permanently upgraded to 4 GB.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. Creating a free server requires only an email address.

Can I run mods and modpacks?

Yes. Paper, Vanilla, Forge, NeoForge and Bedrock are supported out of the box. Larger modpacks want more memory than the free tier provides, which is what the 6 GB and 8 GB plans are for.

Do players need a port number to connect?

No. Every server gets an address in the form yourname.gamersfreedom.com, which players can enter on its own with no port number.
