I don't understand why there are so many 1 star reviews, this is literally a COMPLETELY FREE server host and people expect that it has the same things as a 30€ one, wich I personally think it has. The... See more

Best FREE Minecraft server hosting provider

I think it is amazing that I am able to have my own server for absolutely no cost and minimum compromise. The server performance has massively improved since the overload of the pandemic, and it feels great to see that aternos has been consistently adding more features to the panel. Really pleased and hope it keeps getting better!!!

The server constantly times out on…

The server constantly times out on start, making it unusable, and closes at random for no good reason. I would advise folks not to waste their time with this, much less the paid version. In my experience, If the free version is awful, usually the paid one has all the same issues. would give negative stars if possible.

Excellent for a free service.

I like that you can modify the configs if you're playing with mods, have rarely had to wait in queue (and even then it only took like 30 seconds before I could start) though that could have to do with the time of day, and you have a lot of customization options. Performance is ok, haven't had anything that lagged while playing a modpack with 20+ mods. Overall I highly recommend this if you'd rather not spend money on a hosting service.

Aternos sucks

Aternos sucks, me and my friend cannot play the game without lagging. When walking 20 blocks it lags us back 15 blocks. Can't even use a bow because they get lagged out.
