Minecraft server hosting guides
Pick the kind of server you want to run and see what you get.
Free Minecraft server hosting, with no ads and no queue
Every Saryno account gets 1 GB of memory free, forever. Pick a version, press Create, and share the address with your friends.
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.
Looking for a Minehut alternative?
Minehut has a large community and a lobby of servers. If you want a plain server of your own that you control fully, here is how Saryno compares.
Minecraft 1.8 server hosting
Plenty of PvP players still prefer 1.8 for its combat. Saryno runs Paper from 1.8 up to the newest version, so you can host it without setting up Java yourself.
A Minecraft server with a shareable 3D map
A map your players can open in a browser is one of the best things you can add to a server. On Saryno it is one checkbox.
Paper server hosting
Paper is the most popular server for plugins, and it runs faster than the vanilla server. Saryno gives you Paper in a minute, without touching a terminal.
A Minecraft server for you and your friends
You do not need to leave your PC on or fight your router to play with friends. Make a server, send the address, and play.
A Minecraft server where Java and Bedrock players play together
Your friends on phones and consoles do not need to buy another game. Switch on Bedrock players and they join the same world as everyone else.
Host a Minecraft server network with Velocity, without the setup
Survival, creative and minigames on separate servers, one address for players, and no config files to edit by hand.
A free Minecraft server with plugins, no coding needed
Plugins turn a plain server into your own game: ranks, homes, shops, land claims. On Saryno they install in a click and many have a friendly settings screen.
A website and forum for your Minecraft server, made for you
A Discord server is a chat, a community page is a home. Every Saryno server can open one with a forum, members, applications and pages for the rules.
Fabric server hosting
Fabric is the light mod loader: quick to start and quick to update. Saryno gives you a Fabric server in a minute, with a Mods tab to add Fabric API and your mods from Modrinth.
NeoForge server hosting
NeoForge is where most new Forge-style mods are made. Saryno builds the server for you, installs your mods from Modrinth, and keeps the world safe.
Forge server hosting
Forge has the biggest library of big content mods. Saryno installs the server for you and gives you the tools to run it without a terminal.
Purpur server hosting
Purpur is Paper with many extra settings to tune how the game behaves. It runs the same plugins, so you can switch between them without losing anything.
Minecraft server hosting with SFTP
Some jobs are easier with a file-transfer app: a big world, a folder of plugins, a full backup. Every Saryno server has SFTP, on the free plan too.
