Amazing Service From Play Hosting Hope it expands more and do try creating paid server, many would be interested while also providing good free servers

How this company uses Trustpilot

banned half the community from using their service lol
I saw this and immediately noticed that they don't let "the other" users play, which makes up a big majority of my community and the general MC community, and switched back to Aternos.
Of course LILYPAD, the paid version, offers cracked servers. (my last and only stint with them, they randomly deleted my server and everything on it)
Pathetic guys, come on. Use Aternos, or Oracle Cloud.

This is not true. We just don't promote it as it breaks the Mojang EULA 👍

It was OK hosting, but data lost
It was OK hosting, the server was not laggy. Only problem is it once went into 'Limbo Mode' and said I would get my server back shortly. I never did to this day, it's still in that mode. Also occasionaly - every so often - it for some reason deletes all my plugins and other data. But this is free and I know it's hard to host a Minecraf server, so credits to Tubbo.

Great way to lose data
You create a server, one day you find out your backups have failed and the server rolls back a week. You contact support, never get an answer. Once you accept that your server has now rolled back, you play on it, next day it doesn't start up for 3 days. Support never replies, you rarely get any clue to what's going on and when it's getting fixed.
