Free go brrrr

the website has, compared to aternos, basically no ads- which is already a boost on performance for the person hosting the server. well, not the server itself, but yanno.
i love play.hosting. much better than aternos, it has short queues, user friendly interfaces, no restrictions on server files, a heck load of server resources, and the only issue i'd say, is that some of my friends have extreme lag. i don't know why, even now. perhaps there's a reason.

I use a lite tier VPS and it's great

I use a lite tier VPS and it's great, the control panel fails to mention that the recovery mode sends an email with the credentials but apart from that it's been smooth sailing (aside from a bit of user error)

FREE SERVER THAT DOESN'T CRASH WITH 2 PEOPLE ONLINE

Its completely free! The mods and plugins were easy to add. The lag was not bad for a completely free server provider. The ques were sometimes really long but most of the time they took at most 10 minutes. I'm very pleased and use play.hosting for all of my servers with my friends. Would reccommend!

i think its better than aternos

in my opinion its better than aternos, its just that you need to know more about server hosting for this compared to aternos. overall its a good experience for it being free.
also, you only have to wait once a day, and the rest of the delays when opening the server is only around 2-3 minutes.

Amazing Service - Great Reward

Play Hosting was amazing in providing a free service! with wait times only being around 5-10 minutes to startup and setup! Especially nice when you have a 2 week minecraft phase with friends but don't wanna pay for a full month!

Reliable, stable and FREE

Server hosting works reliably, free hosting is the best I have found out there (and I have tried just about everything you can find).
Even when hosting for as many as 12 people, the servers hold strong.
Extremely underrated feature: you can upload custom files (a godsend especially for those that make their own mods & plugins).
The qeue thing can get slightly annoying at times, it feels a bit inconsistent when it gets triggered, but it's nothing too bad (especially considering the "competition").
Thanks for keeping this free.
