We're sorry to hear you are unhappy with the new time limit. Server hosting is quite costly so we added time limits and download restrictions to our free server plans in order to continue being able to host servers for our player base. Selecting any of our paid options removes the daily time limit.
They used to be good and i used this hosting for a while. USED to be good. Now theres a time limit for free servers. i cant even play with my friends anymore bc now only owner can start server. They also made it so you cant download your world so u NEED to stay with them or lose all your world. Minehut went down in flames and now there are so many better options. They used to be the best now they are trash.

The time limit, while understandable, is way too short. 2 hours is barely enough time to do anything before getting ripped out of your experience by that message saying that you can't play anymore and being thrown into their garbage, eyesore of a lobby. My overall experience with Minehut the past month or two has not been pleasant, and I won't be recommending this to anyone unless the limit is at the very least raised back to 4-8 hours. Edit: To top it off, they just send a shallow automated response that can be summarized as "buy our paid plans and we'll give you the quality we used to give you before we stopped respecting our users". Don't waste your time or money on Minehut, you can't even move your server easily, since they made it a paid feature to download more than a single file at a time. Not even folders. FILES.

I have been using Minehut to create many servers the past five years, but with the new update they have become way to greedy. They made the free servers only be open for 2 HOURS !! Its outrageous, and straight up stupid, even on the economic side. The reason the server is so great is because of its huge playerbase, and they are going to lose that with the new update Instead of making the time you can play shorter, they should limit the amount of servers pr. Ip adress, and delete old servers.

The download restrictions prevent zip downloads, so you are still able to download files but must do so individually.
added a time limit, reduced said time limit from 8 hours to 4. sucks.

Minehut was good a while ago now its just a pile of garbage.The free servers are so bad that they cant even handle 4 player's online without crashing. without paying for a server you can barely play. Another bad thing about minehut is you cant even download the world you have played since you have to have minehut premium to download multiple files at once.Even tho they earn this much money they still put like 5 ads at once on there website.At this point dont even advertise your server as "free server host".

Minehut used to be a great option for free server hosting as it was less laggy and generally better than some of its competitors. However with the new 4 hour daily time limit on free servers and putting world files behind a paywall so you can't even take your server elsewhere i can't recommend this to anyone. A really greedy move from minehut and it really shows how disconnected they are from their playerbase. Minehut just isn't good enough that it's worth it to pay when the servers are randomly down for days and you can't access your world. This didn't used to be such an issue when the servers were free and you weren't really losing anything if it didn't work but if you're paying for a server it better be *actually* running 24/7. Don't give them your money.

Downtime has been decreased significantly compared to previous years and is now a rare occurrence, usually resolved within a few hours when it does happen.
