For Minehut players
The Minehut Alternative Without Sleep Mode
Minehut is free to start, and its network helps players find your server. On its plan page, the free, Standard and Pro plans sleep when the server is empty. Every Space-Node plan stays online 24/7, so friends can join at any time. Your world comes with you.

Protection choices
DDoS protection is included on every plan in every region. Premium in Europe and Canada and every USA plan run behind Cloudflare Magic Transit; Standard, Singapore, Australia and India use standard protection. There is no paid add-on.
Panel included
Console, files, backups, schedules, startup flags, and sub-users are ready.
9 regions

What changes when you leave Minehut
Minehut is free to start and works well for groups that do not mind a server that sleeps. These are the four things that change on a paid server that stays online. The Minehut side comes from Minehut's own pages, linked under each point.
When the last player leaves
On Minehut
Starter, Standard and Pro sleep when the server is empty; Ultimate is listed as online 24/7. Minehut's custom plan guide adds “Online 24/7” to other sizes for 400 credits per GB of RAM a month.

Move your Minehut world in five steps
Your world is yours: Minehut lets you download it, and you upload it in our panel.
- 1
Download the world on Minehut
Activate your server on minehut.com and open the File Manager. Click your world folder, select its files and press Download at the bottom, as Minehut's help centre describes. If you also see world_nether and world_the_end, download those too.
- 2
Order a plan and match the setup
Pick the same server software and Minecraft version in our panel. Start the server once so it creates its files, then stop it.
- 3
Upload the world in the panel
Put the world files in one folder on your computer, delete the fresh world folder the server generated, then upload yours with the file manager in the panel. For worlds over about 1 GB, use SFTP: the address and username are under Settings in the panel, and the password is your panel password.
- 4
Check the folder name and online-mode
The folder name has to match level-name in server.properties, usually world. Keep online-mode the same as on Minehut; changing it can cost players their inventories and positions.
- 5
Add your plugins and start
Install the same plugins, start the server and watch the console. Test with a friend, then give your players the new address.
Rather have us do it?
Add the One-time Server Migration when you order. It costs €15, charged once, and it is meant for moving from another host to Space-Node: our team transfers the world for you. Questions first? Ask in live chat.

When Minehut is still the better pick
You want to start for free
Minehut's Starter plan costs nothing and, in Minehut's words, needs “no credit card”: 1 GB for up to 10 players. If a server that sleeps when empty is fine for your group, that is hard to beat.
You want players to find you
Minehut's plan page invites you to “get discovered and grow” on its network, and its home page lists featured and popular servers. With us, your server has its own address, and players find it through your Discord, a server list or friends.
Moving from Minehut: FAQ
- No. Our servers are paid monthly, from €2.70 for 3 GB on Standard. There is no free trial and no money-back guarantee, so if you are not sure which size fits, ask in live chat before you order.
- Not on play time: Minehut's plan page says there are no playtime limits on any plan. What differs is uptime. Starter, Standard and Pro sleep when the server is empty, and Ultimate (14 GB) is listed as online 24/7. A Space-Node server stays online 24/7 on every plan.
- Ultimate, the plan Minehut lists as online 24/7, costs 6,000 credits a month (60,000 a year) for 14 GB; on Minehut's store that month is covered by subscriptions of 4,650 credits ($25.00) and 1,800 credits ($10.00), $35.00 a month in total. For other sizes, Minehut's custom plan guide (updated October 2024) adds Online 24/7 for 400 credits per GB of RAM a month. On Space-Node every plan stays online 24/7: MC Special 2 has 15 GB for €13.50 a month on Standard, and MC Lapis 6 GB for €5.40.
- Yes. It runs 24/7, whether anyone is online or not. There is no sleep mode and nothing to start before your friends join. You restart it when you need to, for example after changing settings or installing a plugin.
- Yes. Activate your server on minehut.com, open the File Manager, click your world folder, select its files and press Download, as Minehut's help centre describes. Then upload the world in our panel with the file manager, or over SFTP for big worlds. Download world_nether and world_the_end as well if you have them. Our guide to moving a Minecraft server lists every folder to copy.
- Yes. Add the One-time Server Migration when you order a plan. It costs €15, charged once, and it is meant for moving from another host to Space-Node: our team transfers the world for you. Questions before you order? Ask in live chat.
- Coming from Starter or Standard, MC Iron (4 GB, €3.60 a month) is the smallest Standard plan for Minecraft 1.21 and newer; MC Coal (3 GB, €2.70) runs versions up to 1.20.4. Coming from Pro, MC Lapis has the same 6 GB for €5.40. For an Ultimate-sized server, MC Special 2 has 15 GB for €13.50. Premium, on a Ryzen 9 9950X with DDR5, starts at €5.25 for 3 GB.
- There is no hard player cap on our plans; how many players run smoothly depends on the RAM, plugins and mods. Minehut's Starter plan allows 10 players and its paid plans unlimited players.
- Yes. Every server comes with a free subdomain such as yourname.mymcserver.nl, which you manage from the panel. Share it with your players once and they add it to their server list.
- Our team answers live chat, Discord and email every day from 08:00 to 20:00 UTC. Servers are monitored around the clock.
