Free Minecraft Hosting?
Hai everyone. I was thinking about making a server for minecraft and had heard that some people were hosting for free. Is this legal?
If so, please supply links to hosting websites. I really want to start on the server.

Re: Free Minecraft Hosting?
You are unlikely to find free hosts. Minecraft servers are very resource itntsive, so you'd be hard pressed to find a free host.
If you didi find one, there would probably only be enough RAM for a few players.
There is a post-to-host host out there, though

But I did hear a few people saying they were hosting their server for free. 
Thanks for your help, btw.

Re: Free Minecraft Hosting?
It's not illegal to host a Minecraft server for free. It's just that people willing to do that are rare, and most websites which say that they will are scams.
If there was a person who would host websites for free, everyone would know about it/use it. I suggest using a paid hosting as they are the most reliable.
If you can read this you are in range.

You won't get it for free.
Avante is cheap and good quality though. You can get a 16 slot server for like 8$ a month.
Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say. I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.

I would go on your server though if it was.

Hmm....alright. I'll probably wait then.

Okay, true.
Thanks everyone.
