SadHost gives you a free Minecraft Java server with 2 vCores, 5 GB of RAM and 5 GB of disk, plus free Valheim hosting. No credit card, no trial that expires, no hidden fees — sign in with Discord, pick your software and invite your friends with one address.
Install plugins and modpacks from the panel — no SFTP, no unzipping JARs, no guessing Minecraft versions.
Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Folia or Forge on any Minecraft version. Switch whenever you like — your world is kept.
Servers sleep when nobody is playing and wake automatically when a player joins, so free hosting stays online around the clock.
Reserve a readable address like your-name.sadhost.com instead of an IP and port.
Host a Viking world with the BepInEx mod loader ready to go, with the 2456/2457 port pair reserved for you.
Upload a world or mod archive as a ZIP, press Extract, and it is unpacked in place.
Our guides are written for people who just want the server working: practical steps, the settings that actually matter and the errors you are most likely to hit.
See every guide on the SadHost blog or read the Helpdesk for panel walk-throughs.
Yes. Every account can run a free Minecraft Java server with 2 vCores, 5 GB of RAM and 5 GB of disk, and Valheim servers are free too. Optional in-site credits called SadCoins unlock extras such as installing a modpack or pre-generating a world, and they are earned for free inside the site.
It hibernates. When nobody is online the server sleeps and its memory goes back to the pool; joining it wakes it automatically, usually within seconds. You can also wake it from the panel whenever you want.
Yes — zip your world folder, upload it in the file manager, press Extract and point

world upload guide covers the
exact folder structure.
No. Sign in with Discord, press create, and the panel handles the Java runtime, the server jar, plugins and the network ports. If you get stuck, the guides and the Discord community are free to use.
