THEY LOCKED MY SERVER!

I have helped a lot of people make servers, and even made a few of my own. And it is a pain to see ALL of them (except the paid ones) LOCKED! AND YOU CAN'T EVEN GET YOUR FILES OR ANYTHING BACK! UNLESS YOU PAY! THIS IS NONSENSE!

The server is okay

The server is okay, but the players are not fair. They are rude and thieves, taking your things and not returning them. And there is no respect from older players towards the younger ones.

DO NOT USE MINEFORT

THEY LOCK YOUR SERVER AFTER 2 DAYS OF INACTIVITY FORCING YOU TO PAY MONEY. I've used their hosting for the past 3 years and made a huge world with my friends. Now I can't even get the world download because it's all locked if i don't pay them 6 dollars a month. What a joke

the good, the not so good and the ugly

the good: its a server that works
you can give people perms use cmds ect

the not so good: no way to toggle keep inventory as far as i know
cannot crossplay with bedrock
ads are retarded, if you aren't gonna buy it on the first add your not gonna buy it on the hundredth

the ugly: if someone guesses your server name, they can distribute the information and all of a sudden you cant control who joins, mabye consider adding a password?

thats really all i have to say

EDIT: im changing from 2 stars to 1 star as of now because they have an extremeley retarded feature where if you dont access your server in 3 days they will lock it behind a fu.cking paywall. do not use this, just use something else, please.

Easy dashboard to manage but latency issues

Started with the cottage package and had issues with latency (i dont have a full sever currently only myself and one other individual) i upgraded to cottage to see if it fixed the issue however it hasnt gotten much better i get rubber banded and still have latency issues. I'm considering seeking a refund unless this can be fixed. No reason to have these issues with only a couple people online

Minefort SUCKS

i like how there is a free server and its pretty good for just a little server with your friends. However, you have to be online on the server pretty often or it will deactivate your server and lock it and you have to get a paid server subscription to unlock the server and get access to your files.

Minefort is a bad Hosting

Minefort is a bad Hosting
Minefort used to be a good hosting now it is just a Pay to win, MineHut is better then this crap host, if your server is offline for only 2 days they lock up the server and say goodbye to your server file that you work on, it don't even have SFTP on and the website panel So Bad, they only care about money To add someone to the server panel you need their email you just giving people your email for free, minefort can't just make something like add their username, also file upload speed are like being in hell for about 20 mb plugin it will take 10 minute just to load or it will just crash, the lobby has been the same forever map no New Npc, and the lobby is just boring This server hosting is worse than aternos

SCAMMY HOSTING PROVIDER. DO NOT USE

Minefort has added a feature that locks servers with no plan after 2 days of inactivity. This is a HORRIBLE change, and is not worth it considering the playtime limit and horrible performance of their servers. One of their admins are literally a pedophile as well.

Do not use

Do not use! I went with minefort as they had the best free option out there according to past reviews. I needed a basic server for my 8yr old to play occasionally with friends. It gets used a few times per month at the most, and is now locked behind a paywall with the new changes.

Terrible hosting

Terrible hosting!

1) limit of servers that can be created (approximately 2 max)

2) terrible moderation in the discord.

3) they block the servers after 2 days if you don't turn them on so you have to pay then (PAY TO WIN)

5) basic security, my server has been hacked several times, ftp access is dangerous.

6) many ingame hackers. not recommended for everyone, go to minekeep or fractal hosting
