Play hosting is awesome!

honestly I'm impressed with the free version. not only does it deliver a smooth experience, I have 78 mods installed and 3 friends playing on it and not once did the server lag which really impressed me! honestly this host is probably the best or at least one of the best.

4 stars - pros and cons

Pros:
- Great server performance even with many players connected
- Server specs outperform competitors by a long margin
- The new updated UI makes configuring and managing servers so much easier

Cons:
- No bedrock crossplay
- Servers are under maintenance somewhat often, meaning you cannot play for extended periods of time

NOTHING WORKS

NOTHING WORKS, i tried making a ticket but the thing gave an error 413 file to large, even though it was 413KB.

This is user error and not a reflection of the quality of the service. Bedrock servers work great for 1000s of users with mods and addons

Amazing

First ever review on anything online before. I love play.hosting so much, it is so coinvent to just load up a world (with mods mind you) and be playing in less then 2 minutes. It is also extremely simple and is an amazing tool to help set up and understand how the Minecraft server actually works without it being on your machine. This is unironically a top 3 service I use, and almost every single week I get to play with my friends on here. Thank you so much tubbo.

The best free minecraft hosting

The best free minecraft hosting, genuinely the best.
Has multiple regions support for lower latency.
Has very strong vps and the servers are really smooth no lag at all.
They are adding more regions too.

Extremely unreliable, yet still the best free MC server host.

Extremely unreliable. One day will be fine, the next day genuinely unusable. The entire year I've been using it, has been riddled with the same issues. Hour long queues to open the server, random crashes, and so on. It is however, truly the best free host you can get for minecraft. Though it's a hit and miss, every other alternatives that I have tried, I found worse than Play.hosting.
