Minehut alternative: questions
Not any more. Minehut's homepage says there are no playtime limits on any plan (it used to have a daily limit).
Only on the Ultimate plan (6,000 credits a month). Free and lower plans sleep when empty and wake when a player joins.
Minehut limits free accounts to 5 servers and deletes extra ones after an email and a 30-day window, oldest-unstarted first.
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 Minehut (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.
