Free Minecraft server hosting, built for small communities.

What the Free Beta includes

You receive access to the console, files, startup settings and normal server controls through the Pelican panel. Creation starts in Discord because the bot links onboarding, software selection and your custom server address in one flow.

Who is it for?

The Free Beta is best for a small Paper or Purpur world, a few friends, plugin testing or learning how Minecraft hosting works. A 1.5 GB server is intentionally modest: it is not suitable for large public networks or heavy modpacks.

Fabric is available, but memory-heavy mod collections may require more resources than the free plan provides. Folia is intended for software that explicitly supports its region-based threading model.

Transparent beta limits

• Servers may stop automatically when nobody is playing so capacity remains available to active users.
• The service is a beta, so availability and features may change while reliability is tested.
• Automatic customer backups are not promised on the free plan. Keep a local copy of important worlds.
• Paid plans shown on the website are a waitlist only; no card payment is currently collected.

A custom Minecraft server address

During creation you choose the first part of an address such as myworld.nodearc.net. Players can use that name instead of remembering a numerical IP and port. Reserved, misleading and abusive names are filtered.

Arc Credits and resource boosts

Verified referrals can earn Arc Credits. Credits can be spent in the panel store on temporary resource boosts or an address change. Referral rewards are issued only after the invited user completes the required activity; simply joining Discord is not enough.
