just garbage, thats all. terrible uptime. servers shut when players quit. pay to play, etc. garbage. a 2/5 would be lying.

Minehut has gone in only 2 years from probably the best free server hosting company to the worst. Free servers were what this whole company was based around, however they limit the total playtime and force you to pay them money to be able to play on the server. You have to pay to download your world, you have to pay to do practically anything besides play and start the server. The only good experiences I had with Minehut is when they were a small and wholesome company and didn't put an ad in your way before you do any activity on your server. Just don't ever use it. You are far better off using an actually decent free host like Aternos or running a server yourself.

dont use minehut, worst sever hosting ever... theyve gone from a wholesome serverhosting business to a greedy moneyhungry business... you can play for 2 hours then you need to upgrade your server plan... worst serverhosting you can find DONT USE MINEHUT

TLDR; Doing anything on the website to configure things for a modpack is impossible to do for a server that's being paid to keep up. Also the lack of help from the mods/staff in the discord server from others who faced a similar issue. Prior to all of this, I made sure the modpack which is Fabric 1.20.1 function and ran smoothly + optimizing it before setting it up in Minehut, keep in mind this was a PAID server we were trying to get to work. Originally we wanted to host a Forge 1.20.1 server, however for some reason they do not have the most updated version for forge so we had to make a new modpack in order to host a server in Minehut. My friend and I can't deal with this hassle anymore from working on this for 3 days straight with barely any progress being done when the modpack itself works just fine. Here's the list of problems that made us give up on hosting our server through Minehut: 1) The design of the website. Simply how clicking on the logo or "My Servers" logs you out randomly, constantly closing your server when you're trying to configure it, and how slow it is. Each time this happens we had to manually log back in and open the server back up just to add/remove mods. The worst part is you can't even put all the mods inside of the folder, you have to INDIVIDUALLY add in mods, in this case we have 270 files inside our modpack. 2) The logs, it gives us multiple errors of mods which is fine since we can just remove them, until half the mods had removed. When those mods were removed, the server suddenly cannot start up because of an error that has nothing to do with a mod that is causing an issue. This is actually our THIRD TIME we used Minehut to host server which we paid for those servers, the last two were also modded. What was weird is most of the mods we used in the past are included in this modpack, and yet Minehut now is saying the mods are an issue and can't start because of it- we need to remove it even though it was working back then when we hosts two server with those modpacks?? So why is there an error now when it worked before? 3) Trying to join the Minehut server in Minecraft. Every time we remove a mod and there's no known errors, we obviously would join the server itself to see what else is the issue or if it finally works, yet when we do the error code that appears preventing us from joining the world says absolutely nothing about what is causing an error. Even looking back on the logs sometimes doesn't give us an exact clue what could be causing an issue, sometimes it tells us which mod causes the issue straight up and other time it doesn't. And again, IT DOES NOT HELP WHEN MINEHUT KEEPS SHUTTING DOWN THE SERVER FOR NO REASON, let us configure the server WITHOUT HAVING THE SERVER ACTIVE. It's such a poor design to have us constantly open it over and over just to make small changes. it's also a huge waste of time, doing a simple task of configuring files for a server is literally impossible when you have to deal with these constant issues that become so frustrating to deal with. Just seeing how Minehut is now from their new changes and how free server are now being limited to 2-4 hours playtime is truly sad to see. We have played on free servers before this change was ever made and from how good our experience was back then we decided to pay for servers twice until up to this point. We were planning to do an annual payment for our server, but just in case we started with a monthly plan first. Now imagine if we did waste our money for an annual plan for a server that couldn't even work. Before mentioning it to us, we did go to the discord server to check out if anyone faced a similar issue, which they did and yet no one responded to them with a solution, most posts in the poll in the channel "ask for help" goes unnoticed very often with. Even if we open a poll to get help, there's a bigger chance of it being ignored than getting an any form of help that could solve our problem. There's a reason why people have been complaining about how bad Minehut got over the past 8 months. Keep in mind one of your volunteer moderator on discord said "it's been over half a year and youre all still complaining", really not that supportive are they for others who faced issues with the company?

It was great at first, but they limited our server time so we could only do like 2 hours, and it was very slow sometimes. I tried to download the world to move it to realms, but you can only download one file at a time, so I spent like 3 hours downloading every file so we could continue to play on the world

terrible terrible terrible platform this will ruin ur whole experience and ruin the moments u had with ur best friends

expensive hosting compared to competitors bad customer support toxic community and server staff boring servers

Minehut is a great example of a project that once started as a little thing and then turned into something huge, when they cared about people. However, throughout the years, as everything has changed, they started putting greed over their community. Don't host your stuff at Minehut, as you're quite literally getting robbed with their prices. Get something better for the same amount of money you're paying at Minehut.
