Free Minecraft Servers by Request

CraftPod (a play on Minecraft and Pods, a reference to the Kubernetes project) is focused on building an accessible and supportive platform that enables anyone to run their own server. Founded by a group of passionate engineers, we believe there are too many for-profit server providers making the barrier to entry too high for small communities to get started. We offer servers entirely free of charge, thanks to the amazing donations and contributions of our community.
