Minehut Reviews 508

I understand it is free and expensive, but somethings need to be more clear. Also the verification process needs more work, like how sketchy it is. Not you but Gamesafer asks for face scans? I used this server provider for a while and things have changed-- for the worse. Getting time is hard, a measly 4 hours.

As a loyal customer since 2021, I regret my recent purchase. Nowhere on the plan or payment page does it clearly state that the 'Standard Server' lacks 24/7 uptime – you only discover after paying that you must manually restart it constantly. Even worse, despite being marketed for small groups (1-2 players, max 3 rarely), the server is unplayable: constant lag, crashes, and unstable performance.

They also hide critical limitations, like the 20GB storage cap, buried in tiny text. For the price, this is unacceptable. After years as a customer, I expected better. False advertising, deceptive plan details, and terrible reliability – avoid this host.

Minehut is an amazing host
other than the free plan having max 4hr time a day just upgrade your server by getting free credits using /vote in lobby, other that, Amazing host:>

I really wanted to like Minehut, but after spending time on the platform, I ran into several issues that made the experience frustrating.

Moderation concerns: I was muted multiple times on their main server without clear reasoning. It felt inconsistent and not very user-friendly.

Limited free hosting: The free server time is only about 2 hours, after which your server shuts down unless you pay. Starting the server again puts you in a queue and requires watching ads, which can be annoying — especially when you just want to play.

Payment issues: I attempted to upgrade, but the system didn’t process it correctly. I didn’t get the upgraded access and didn’t receive a refund or useful support, which was disappointing.

Comparison: I’ve used other services like Apex Hosting where there are no queues, no ads, and much better reliability. It’s a smoother experience overall.

Overall: Minehut might work for casual, short sessions, but I wouldn’t recommend it for serious players or long-term use. I hope they improve their systems and support in the future.

With GamerSafer's new ownership of Minehut, things are starting to look up again. They're interactive with the community, active, and most of all transparent. This is what every place needs. A transparent wall to communicate important information to your community, and Minehut has this. Advertising options are also something no other minecraft server hosting provider offers, but Minehut does offer. It's a brilliant ecosystem of different things to get the best out of your minecraft server. I would definitely use Minehut to host and grow my community.

minehut is a fun server but the ad limit is tearable
plus i have sent 100 reports about pay to win
servers and they were not banned also people should ad as much as they want so its not fair to put a ten ad limit for default players or at least make the time when they get there ads back shorter i mean who can wait a month!!! make it a week or day just please make minehut funer

Minehut, where do i start first off the customer support is absolutely horrendous they will do anything but help you, second of all Minehut does not care about you at all all they will care about is how much money you want to waste in this, how come? well most of its over priced features used to be free of charge but they got greedy, and started pricing for every single useful feature now you cannot even play for more than 4 hours with your friends without being forced to pay it is absolutely shameful to see such an good company going to waste, and lets not start with the moderation the most simple chat reaction can get you banned for almost a year, they are very sensitive about anything.
(the reason i gave 1 star is because i couldn't give 0)

Minehut support sucks.

I was false banned for my appropiate skin. And all Minehut support said was to change it. Even though I used the same skin for several months on Minehut. Minehut support sucks. I ask for help in their discord and they don't seem to care. All in all don't use Minehut it sucks ass.

Minehut has gone way downhill since 2018! Servers are super laggy. Ranks are now subscriptions. (Thankfully legacy ranks still exist though). The online panel is very hard to use and it’s full of ads. Ads in the in-game lobby, politics enforced by Minehut. So many paid stuff, you have the spend money just to have a half-decent server. The cosmetics system is just a mess, so are the current guis. There’s almost nothing free about Minehut anymore, everything about it just screams greed! Plugin installing on servers doesn’t even work anymore. I don’t consider Minehut to be a free hosting service anymore, it is now Moneyhut not Minehut!

I think there are a lot of problems on Minehut, but I think one of my main issues is the filth you find on random join. 9 times out of ten, you're going to find a box or lifesteal server. I don't think the lifesteal or box concept is inherently bad, but it's just really sad to see that no one is creative with their server ideas. Oh, and SMPS! The SMPS you will find on Minehut are terrible. You're going to find a lot of SMPS with fancy spawns and just one special plugin and a shop. I don't get how these servers can hold hundreds of players at one time. You're also going to find a lot of smaller SMPS with lazy server owners. These people basically make an SMP server with no ranks, no spawn, and just give themselves operator. They believe Minehutters will actually spend time on their SMP while they play god. All of these issues aren't entirely Minehut's fault, but this is just one of the issues.

uploading files takes hours also if you don’t have a account that doesn’t auto hibernate you can’t upload files without being kicked out unless you have someone in the world. All uploads do finish but any file with no data won’t upload

Minehut is, in my opinion, the best free hosting service out there for Minecraft servers. Their support members are top quality, they allow you to advertise for free, and you can get paid plans for free just by voting every day. I'm currently a moderator on their platforms, and they treat us with respect, and go out of their way to make sure that we have a great experience. The admins here are amazing and professional, and I couldn't ask for a better management team.

Making my own pvp server, on a free server, takes atleast 8 hours per day to make, with the 4 hour limit it makes it not fun to play, if I could actually do more than 4 hours I could make it good enough to upgrade to a paid server, the entire server is a scam, I live in the mid west, and get 100 ping constantly. With custom skript, it can barely run at 10 TPS, on a vanilla Minecraft world, I get 19-20, without any special plugins, so to anyone who read this, it is a complete scam, don't use, use a little more expensive server host, it will be worth it.
