Spin up a Paper server in a couple of minutes. Pick your own RAM and CPU, get a live console and full access to your world files. No cost — just a shared honor system that keeps it running for everyone.
freemc gives you a genuine, always-on Paper server on our hardware. You manage it through a web panel — start and stop it, watch the live console, edit files, upload worlds and plugins. It's the same control a paid host gives you, offered free to the community.
No downloads, no config files to hand-edit before you even start. Everything happens in the browser.
Sign up on the portal and confirm your email. Two-factor is required — it keeps your server yours.
Name it, choose your RAM and CPU, and pick a Minecraft version. It provisions in a minute or two.
Hit start and watch the live console boot your world. Manage files, backups, and plugins from the panel.
You get a name.mc.jimshosting.com address. Drop it in the Minecraft server list and play.
Watch your server in real time and run commands straight from the browser — op yourself, change gamerules, whatever you need.
You choose the RAM and CPU your server gets. Run something small and light, or give a big modded world room to breathe.
Upload worlds, drop in plugins, edit server.properties — you have complete control of your Minecraft files.
Take backups before big changes and set schedules to restart or run tasks on a timer — all from the panel.
Every account is protected with 2FA, so nobody else can touch your server or your files but you.
See exactly what's up and what's not, any time — nodes, services, and how many servers are online right now.
Here's the part that makes freemc work. You get to choose your own resources — and there's nothing stopping you from taking more than you need. We're asking you not to.
There's a fixed amount of RAM, CPU, and disk across the machines. Every server you create takes a slice of it, and when it's gone, it's gone — the next person can't make a server until something frees up.
So it fills up on a first come, first served basis. No reservations, no queue-jumping — whoever claims capacity has it until they give it back.
The panel lets you pick your RAM and CPU. That trust is the whole point: grab what your world actually needs, and leave the rest for everyone else.
Maxing out a giant server "just in case" means someone else can't play at all. Run lean, delete servers you're done with, and the pool stays open for the whole community.
It's worth being crystal clear about the boundary, because it's generous but it has an edge. You get full control inside your server. You don't get the server itself.
freemc runs on real hardware that costs real money, offered for free because we think a welcoming, no-cost place to play is worth it. Nobody is entitled to it. It stays open only as long as people treat it with respect.
Take what you need and no more. Don't abuse the access you're given. Don't try to reach past your files into the machine. Delete servers you're finished with. Break that trust and you lose access — keep it, and there's a free server here for you and everyone after you.
Real-time health of the network — services, the node, and how many servers are online. Bookmarked below, or open it full-screen any time.
Yes. No cost, no card, no trial that expires into a bill. It runs on community hardware and stays free as long as people respect the honor system.
Right now, Paper only. Paper is fast, stable, and plugin-friendly, so it's the best fit for a shared free platform. Fabric, Forge, Purpur, and Vanilla may come later — they're not available yet.
You choose within the panel's limits. But please choose honestly — the pool is shared and first come, first served. Take what your world needs and leave headroom for others. Over-grabbing means someone else can't play.
New servers can't be created until capacity frees up. That's why deleting servers you're done with matters — it hands your slice back to the next person in line.
You get full control of your Minecraft files — worlds, plugins, configs, the lot. You do not get shell or root on the host machine itself. Your access ends at your server's files; the underlying box is off-limits.
Yes. Abusing resources, trying to break out of your files into the machine, or otherwise mistreating the platform will cost you your access. It's a privilege extended in good faith — keep it in good faith.
After you create a server you get an address like your-world.mc.jimshosting.com. Add it in Minecraft's multiplayer server list and join — no port needed.
Create your free Paper server, invite your friends, and play. Just remember whose sandbox you're sharing.
