FalixNodes alternative: questions
No. Since April 2025, Falix offers its free plan in 40 countries (including the EU, UK, US, Canada and Australia); paid plans work everywhere.
Falix's user agreement says free servers can be removed if the account is inactive for more than 30 days, and the data can't be restored.
Yes. One free Minecraft server per account with 3.5 GB RAM, 200% CPU, 5 GB SSD, no credit card, subject to capacity. Paid plans are optional.
Download your world from FalixNodes (most hosts offer a world download or backup), create a free Enzonic server with the same software and version, then upload the world folder with SFTP or the web file manager and start the server.
It sleeps when nobody is online, but your address always works: when a player connects, the server starts by itself while they wait in a lobby for about 20 seconds, then they join. Nobody has to open the panel or press start.
