Our review

Analysis written by Valentin for Minecraft Hosts from the plans and information published by Minehut, checked on September 22, 2026. This is not a hands-on test.

Verdict

Minehut, a subsidiary of GamerSafer Inc., combines a free plan (Starter, 1 GB, 10 players) with paid plans billed in Minehut credits, from 600 to 6,000 credits per month. Its strength is free access to get started, with up to 14 GB of RAM on the Ultimate plan. The main caveat: only Ultimate stays online 24/7; the other plans go to sleep when the server is empty.

Pros

  • Free Starter plan (1 GB, 10 players)
  • No playtime limit
  • Unlimited players on paid plans
  • Automatic Bedrock crossplay (in beta)
  • Pro rata refund on request

Limitations

  • Goes to sleep when the server is empty, except on Ultimate
  • Prices in credits, with no direct monthly price
  • Processor model not published
  • Forge, NeoForge and modpacks not documented
  • Server locations not disclosed

Best for

  • Small groups who want to start for free: Starter costs $0 (1 GB, 10 players)
  • Paper or Fabric servers: these are the types documented by support, along with Velocity
  • Those who want to welcome Bedrock players on a Java server: automatic crossplay advertised (in beta)

Less suited if

  • You want a server that is always on without taking the most expensive plan: only Ultimate is "Online 24/7"
  • You want a clear price in real currency: plans are shown in credits, not dollars
  • You play on Forge, NeoForge or modpacks: they are not documented by support

Pricing and billing

Starter is free; Standard costs 600 credits per month, Pro 1,800 and Ultimate 6,000. The store sells credits in dollars (VAT not specified): 800 credits for $6.00 (one-off purchase) or $5.00 per month (subscription), 1,800 credits for $12.00 or $10.00 per month, 4,650 credits for $30.00 or $25.00 per month, 9,400 credits for $60.00 or $50.00 per month. With annual billing, the plans drop to 500, 1,500 and 5,000 credits per month (6,000, 18,000 and 60,000 credits billed per year), with no discount percentage published. Player ranks (MVP, MVP+, MVP Gold) include credits but are not server plans.

Performance

The processor model is not published: the plans page only gives tiers (Basic, Standard, Pro). The support guide states 2 vCPUs for Standard and Pro, and 4 vCPUs for Ultimate. RAM ranges from 1 GB (Starter) to 2, 6 and 14 GB. Storage is 10 GB on the free plan and 20 GB on paid plans according to the plans page, while the 2024 custom plans guide does not distinguish the free plan; the disk type is not disclosed. Starter, Standard and Pro go to sleep when the server is empty.

Minecraft features

Support documents Paper, Velocity (proxy) and Fabric; Forge, NeoForge, Purpur and modpacks are not documented. Bedrock players (iOS, Android, Windows 10) join servers through automatic crossplay labelled "in beta", with no separate Bedrock plan. SFTP is limited to paid plans and the panel is in-house. Backups and DDoS protection are included, but the number of backups differs between support pages ("2 backups per GB of RAM" or "at least 1 manual backup slot").

Support and guarantees

Support is provided through tickets, with no published hours. Refunds are granted pro rata for the remaining days, on request by ticket, with no time limit in days published. Free accounts are limited to 5 free servers, and excess or inactive free servers may be deleted after 30 days' notice by email.
