Looking for an Aternos alternative?
Aternos is a well-known free host, and for many people it is enough. Here is how Saryno differs, and when Aternos may still be the better choice.
No card needed. 1 GB free forever.
The short version
Aternos runs on advertising and starts servers on demand, with a queue when it is busy. Saryno has no ads, no waiting list, and a paid option when you want a server that stays on.
- Ads: Aternos shows ads, and that is how it pays its bills. Saryno has none.
- Waiting: On busy days an Aternos server can wait in a queue before it starts. A sleeping Saryno server wakes within seconds when a friend joins.
- Always on: Saryno lets you pay for memory that never sleeps and has no time limit. If you do not want to pay, the free server still works.
- Tools: the file manager, console, plugin installer, backups on paid memory, version switching that keeps your world, and a shareable 3D map are all in one dashboard.
Where Aternos may suit you better
Aternos has been around for years and has a big community and many mod and plugin choices. If you need a very large free server with a lot of memory and do not mind ads and waiting, it can be a good fit. Saryno's free tier is 1 GB, so it is best for small groups; bigger servers are paid.
Moving your world
Download your world folder from your current host, create a server on Saryno, and drag the folder into the file manager. Pick the same Minecraft version you played on, and your world loads as it was.
Questions
Can I move my Aternos world to Saryno?
Yes. Download the world folder, create a server with the same version, and upload the folder in the file manager. You can also upload a zip and extract it there.
Do Saryno servers have a queue?
No. A server that is asleep wakes within seconds when a player connects, and it does not wait in a line.
Is Saryno free like Aternos?
Yes, 1 GB and one server are free forever. If you need more memory or a server that never sleeps, you pay by the GB.
