Great service, low cost

Using the service to host local running servers without portforwarding behind cgnat. Experience is great, and the price that they are asking is minimal.

Custom ports are premium only because of a history of abuse.

I’ve been using Playit.gg for over a year


I’ve been using Playit.gg for over a year now, and it has completely changed the way I host servers. I’ve used it to run multiple servers for my friends as well as my own private IRL server, and every experience has been dependable, secure, and incredibly easy to manage. Playit has made hosting not only simpler, but safer, eliminating many of the risks and headaches that come with exposing ports or configuring home networks manually.

Before discovering Playit, I spent thousands of dollars hosting my own servers through various providers. None of them delivered the convenience, stability, or flexibility that Playit offers right out of the box. The fact that I was able to use this service for free for so long honestly surprised me.

I also fully support the current stance Patrick is taking with the platform. His transparency, vision, and commitment to building a sustainable service make complete sense, and it’s clear Playit is being developed with long-term quality in mind. After relying on it for so long, I felt it was only right to support the project.

Want to host a server for really cheap

Want to host a server for really cheap, this is the way to do it. Let's you port forward while keeping your IP safe. Free version has great features but even the paid version is cheap as. 5/5 recommend to everyone that's wants to host games even if it is for small groups.

Been using for years

Been using for years. Recently started paying for premium and have had no issues best utility for the price. The ability to port forward games like Minecraft, ark, factorial, palworld etc when my ISP uses CG-NAT is magical use it for around 5-7 servers so far.

TIP: set your local ip to be static so you don’t have to change it from time to time in playit tunnel config

Playit.gg, best by far.

Playit.gg is by far one of the best services for setting up a public Minecraft server! The costs are minimal and provide a great bit of capability to my servers. Until recently I did not know it could do more than Minecraft, so I have now set up other servers for friends and family to play other games with! I also use this for my church to run a private server for them, which without playing.gg’s premiums service being the low cost it is, would not be fiesable! The setup is generally easy, especially if your using windows, Linux is a challenge and I would like to see a better guide (something I am going to make an post to YouTube), but that is not enough of an issue to take stars away to me. Really love this service!

Playit is the best app for port tunneling!

Playit is the perfect and easiest software to use to port tunnel, no need for any fancy knowledge, just add the port type and number and bam, it's done. I payed for premium and it's payed off, I host all sorts of web apps and even some Minecraft servers off of it and it's really useful. 100% recommend for the easiest and simplest way to port tunnel.

I LOVE PLAYIT

I've used playit for a very long time, and have never been dissapointed with their services especially after upgrading to playit-premium. Downtime is rare and short-lived. Support is GREAT! They fixed all of the issues I ever had with playit, because of my poor understanding of computers in just a few messages.

Perfect Solution for Game Server Hosting

I love Playit.gg! It's been a game-changer for me, allowing me to host multiple game servers including Minecraft, ARK Survival Evolved, ARK Survival Ascended, Satisfactory, and even Storj storage nodes.

Playit.gg is reasonably priced and used to offer an awesome free tier. Unfortunately, due to abusers, they've had to refocus on their main objective: providing reliable port forwarding for game servers. While the free tier is now more limited, I completely understand the decision.

If you want to do more than basic game server hosting, you'll need to purchase premium at $3/month or $30/year, which is honestly a steal for the convenience and reliability you get. No more struggling with router settings or dynamic IP issues. Do read terms and conditions in order to not abuse this service so it may keep on existing.

Highly recommend Playit.gg for anyone looking to host game servers from home without the headache of manual port forwarding or if you don't have access to the router!

I've been using Playit to host my minecraft servers

I've been using Playit to host my minecraft servers that I'd run for fun and play with my friends on. Currently as of now I use their premium plan to host a java, bedrock and console server for around 25~ players and it's never let me down, it's easy to setup and players haven't had any major/delay issues not to mention the prices are surprisingly cheap and affordable! I'm happy to use Playit and I think it's an amazing and easy to use service!

Amazing Company & Amazing Software

The developer will personally help you if you experience issues; Is always releasing new updates for the better of the community, at times it may limit free users experience to make sure the platform doesn't shut down for everyone. Been using playit for 2 years now with 1 of it being premium and I haven't had a hiccup at all. The program is not made for the people who want to do no research in setting up their servers. Some of these bad reviews probably had one issue and then never tried to get in contact to get it fixed in the discord.

Perfect Solution to my Problem

wanted to set up a private Minecraft server, but after many attempts, nothing worked to make it accessible from the internet. Without Playit.gg, I would have given up on my private Minecraft server. Thanks to Playit.gg, I had my Minecraft server up and running within just 10 minutes. Now my friends can finally play Minecraft on my server. Instead of paying $15 a month to rent a Minecraft server, I only pay $3 for a secure way to share my server with my friends including with a free domain! Thanks for the Service and beeing my Saviour!
