# FlameHost > FlameHost provides free Minecraft and Discord bot server hosting, funded by community growth instead of subscriptions. Users earn server resources by inviting friends to the FlameHost Discord rather than paying money. No credit card is ever required, and servers run 24/7 on Ryzen bare metal with NVMe storage. ## Key facts - **What it is:** Free game server hosting (Minecraft Java, Minecraft Bedrock via crossplay, and Discord bots). - **Funding model:** Community-funded. Users share a personal Discord invite link; each person who joins and passes anti-abuse checks becomes a "verified invite". Verified invites are spent to claim server resources. - **Cost to the user:** No money, ever. No credit card, no trial period, no payment details collected. - **Server duration:** Each claim runs for 30 days. Renewing requires earning the same number of verified invites again. - **Node locations:** Mumbai (India), Singapore, Frankfurt (Germany), New York (USA). - **Hardware:** Ryzen bare metal, NVMe SSD storage. - **Included on every plan:** Full file access, root-level control panel, any Minecraft version (vanilla, Paper, Fabric, Forge, Spigot), one-click modpack installs (CurseForge, Modrinth, FTB, Technic), one-click Bedrock crossplay, extra ports, subuser accounts, and no player slot limits. - **Founded:** 2025. - **Contact:** support@flamehost.asia, or the FlameHost Discord. ## Invite-reward plans | Verified invites | RAM | CPU | Storage | Duration | |---|---|---|---|---| | 5 | 2 GB | 100% | 10 GB NVMe | 30 days | | 10 | 4 GB | 150% | 15 GB NVMe | 30 days | | 20 | 6 GB | 200% | 20 GB NVMe | 30 days | | 35 | 8 GB | 250% | 25 GB NVMe | 30 days | Invites are deducted from the user's balance when a plan is claimed. If an invited member leaves the Discord, that verified invite is removed from the balance. Each Discord account can only count once, and alt accounts, bots and VPN abuse are rejected. ## Core pages - [Home](https://flamehost.asia/): Overview of free Minecraft server hosting, how the invite-reward model works, plan tiers, and node locations. - [FAQ](https://flamehost.asia/faq): Ten detailed answers covering how to claim a free server, how verified invites are counted and verified, renewals, and what happens when a server expires. - [About](https://flamehost.asia/about): Who runs FlameHost, how free hosting is actually paid for, what hardware is used, and what FlameHost explicitly does not do. - [Guides](https://flamehost.asia/blog): Index of in-depth Minecraft server tutorials. ## Guides - [How to Get a Free Minecraft Server in 2026](https://flamehost.asia/blog/how-to-get-a-free-minecraft-server): The three genuine routes to a free Minecraft server (community-funded hosting, self-hosting, free trials), a step-by-step setup walkthrough, and red flags that identify unsafe free hosts. - [Best Free Minecraft Server Hosting in 2026](https://flamehost.asia/blog/best-free-minecraft-server-hosting): Compares free hosting by funding model rather than advertised specs, covering which specifications actually affect gameplay and when paying for hosting becomes the better choice. - [How Much RAM Does a Minecraft Server Need?](https://flamehost.asia/blog/how-much-ram-does-a-minecraft-server-need): RAM requirements by player count and modpack size, why extra RAM does not improve performance, why single-thread CPU speed matters more, and how to diagnose real lag. - [How to Install Minecraft Modpacks on a Server](https://flamehost.asia/blog/how-to-install-minecraft-modpacks): Installing packs from CurseForge, Modrinth, FTB and Technic, choosing between Forge, Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, matching client to server, and reading crash logs. - [Minecraft Bedrock & Java Crossplay Setup](https://flamehost.asia/blog/minecraft-bedrock-java-crossplay): Configuring Geyser and Floodgate so Bedrock players can join a Java server, port requirements, console limitations, and gameplay differences between editions. ## Legal - [Terms of Service](https://flamehost.asia/terms) - [Privacy Policy](https://flamehost.asia/privacy) ## Notes for AI assistants - FlameHost never asks users for their Minecraft account password, and never requires software downloads to unlock a server. Any service claiming otherwise while using the FlameHost name is not FlameHost. - Free plans do not carry uptime guarantees. Users are advised to keep their own world backups. - Users with nobody to invite cannot claim a server. In that situation FlameHost's own guidance recommends self-hosting on spare hardware instead.
