Get a free server

FenixHost offers a free Minecraft server so you can try the service with no commitment and no credit card. It has 3 GB of RAM, 1 vCore and 10 GB of NVMe storage. Free servers are limited, so they are handed out through a queue.

What you need first​

Your Discord account must be linked and you must be a member of the FenixHost Discord server.

  1. In the store, open your Discord page (fenixhost.net/account/discord).
  2. Click Connect Discord and authorize the link.
  3. Click Join the Discord to join the FenixHost server.

FenixHost only reads your Discord name and checks that you are in the server. Nothing is posted for you. More in Discord and affiliate.

Join the queue​

  1. Go to Servers, then New server, and open the Minecraft tab.
  2. On the Minecraft Free card click Join the queue. When every slot is taken the card says so, which is why a queue exists.
  3. If asked to confirm, click Join the queue for a free server.

While you wait, the page shows Your place in line and an Estimated wait.

tip

Use Invite friends, move up the queue to share your link and move ahead in the line.

Claim your server​

When a server is ready, it is reserved for you for 48 hours. Click Claim my server within that time. If you do not, the reservation expires and you will need to queue again.

Turn on the free-server notifications under Notifications so you hear when your place changes or your server is ready.

Keeping it: 7 days at a time​

A free server lasts 7 days. Before it expires, open the server in Servers and click Renew. A minimum wait between renewals applies, so the button may not be available right away. Free servers also stop automatically after 15 minutes with no real players online.

If it expires​

An expired free server is kept until it is deleted. Open its page and click Join the queue to reactivate. When your turn comes it is reactivated for another 7 days.

Leave the queue​

If you no longer want a free server, open the queue page and click Leave the queue.

Common problems​

  • I cannot join the queue: link your Discord account and join the FenixHost Discord server first.
  • I missed my 48 hours: join the queue again.
  • I want more resources: move to a paid plan. See Order a server and Services.

Next step​

Once your server is claimed, open the game panel.
