The new update SUCKS. They limited everyone's server slots to 5 slots and there's a bunch of new updates on the new dashboard. I've played Minehut and owned a lot of servers and they literally forced me and many other serious server owners to delete our servers. Minehut has been greedy in the past, but this amount of greed is just undeniable.

insanely greedy company, huge lack of proper server and player moderation. ignorant and unhelpful server support. new updates are pushed only to take more money from players. ALSO dont trust your kids with playing on minehut, theres a lot of predators and PEDOS playing without being punished.

Minehut has been becoming way more greedy and unkind to f2p players

The downfall of Minehut Dear reader, Minehut once was the best place to host and grow your server. it had a thriving community, cheap plans, no time limites whatsoever. However this all fell recently. There's no more external plan, the plans they offer are very expensive with ancient server hardware, they don't listen to the community, updates are VERY slow and therefore the community is dying out! One last point that is mildly annoying is the pettyness of some of their volunteer moderators / admins. Often giving out punishments without proper reason (asking for one can get you muted for instigating drama). TLDR: I would recommend going to a different host like Minekeep, as they don't offer external, their current hardware pricing is very bad and they clearly don't care about their community. Yours faithfully, Someone who loved being part of the Minehut community as it was.

Stop killing servers

It would be good but - A) punishments (bans/mutes) are usually unfair, as well as the entire appeal system. Appeals don't even really get read. Many well-known users are quitting in 2026 because of this. The 'Trolling' and 'Instigating Drama' punishment reasons are unfair about 90% of the time, and anything close to free speech (not to be confused with Freedom of Speech) is at an all-time low. B) Minehut is leading the Minecraft server industry in downtime. Minehut has some of the highest downtime amounts for all large Minecraft servers ever made. We get just about weekly crashes, and Minehut gets ddossed frequently, despise claiming to have "ddos protection" for their servers. How are you going to defend me from ddossing if you can't even defend yourself? Of course, Minehut's staff will be posthaste to lock chat so that nobody can complain after the server comes back up from having crashed. C) Prices... Yes. Prices are not great but they aren't terrible either. My biggest complaint would have to be the lack of a daily plan, as the option for a daily server subscription was removed a couple years ago. That had been extremely useful for temporary working on a server but then realizing you don't actually care about it anymore, which minimizes losses instead of forcing you into a month long subscription you don't want anymore. Of course, since most other server hosts don't offer anything like this, I can't really complain about it. D) EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR COMMERCIAL SERVER OWNERS. We don't have external servers anymore. If you're a big server owner looking for advertising for your Minecraft server, Minehut is NOT the place for you. Minehut has semi-recently completely locked down access to external servers under the guise of "user safety" and "improving moderation." This, as you may have guessed, is Minehut's very own version of "It's for the kids." Now, to get an external server, you'd have to go through the following process. 1. Put your server on FMCS (findminecraftserver). This is a Minecraft server list, similar to all the others, but Purple Prison isn't on #1. The process for that is extremely tedious and annoying. Once you finish that, you'll have to get yourself a Minehut partnership. "Now how do I do that?" you might be asking yourself. That's the neat part! — you don't. Partnership applications are closed with NO ETA on when they'll be back. You can pretty much bet they'll be gone indefinitely. However, if they were possible to obtain, you'd first have to verify yourself using the GamerSafer app, which requires a facial scan. Unlike the already sketchy age-verification platforms, such as Persona, Yoti, KID, etc, GamerSafer doesn't even *promise* to delete your picture after. Rather, it's confirmed that they keep them indefinitely. Well, more accurately, they keep the "geometric math" behind your face. But, if you are a technical person at all, you should know that really isn't better. Then after you basically doxx yourself to Minehut, you will have to follow up by submitting more forums to Minehut somewhat similar to the FMCS ones. This is not ideal at all. Fortunately, if you're willing to risk everything, there is a single workaround for all of this - sell your server to an existing Minehut partner or beg/pay them to put your server onto their account. I myself would never risk this but it is feasible. So yeah, STAY CLEAR of Minehut if you're already a big server owner. You should be getting your advertising either from a Minehut alternative (e.g. Minekeep) or use YouTube/TikTok to advertise. E) Player ranks are pretty much unaffordable. Player ranks are a necessity on almost all commercial servers, from Hypixel-sized servers to a small SMP with only 20 active players at any given time. However, Minehut has decided to implement player ranks in the stupidest, greediest, and most unaffordable way possible. Three tiers of player ranks exist: [MVP], [MVP+], and [MVP GOLD]. Most sensible servers would have, when using three tiers of ranks, either made all of them permanent, OR made the first two permanent, with the highest rank being a subscription. However, Minehut, in their infinite wisdom (this is sarcasm if you didn't catch it) has decided to make all three tiers extremely and extravagantly expensive subscription plans where the only real perk any of them have is removing ads (minimum tier: MVP, and yes — Minehut has advertisements everywhere) and supposedly having access to early access content (minimum tier: MVP GOLD). So yes, just like Hypixel's MVP rank, Minehut's MVP+ rank is completely useless and irrelevant. Misc/other stuff (running out of space): Minehut is 13+ because of ads Minehut has an annoying resource pack that wastes your time. Minehut's chat filter is hot garbage.

Horrible service provider. bad server plans. bad customer service. Use dedicated hostings and plus the server is dying out
