Frequently asked questions
Is CampHosting really free?
Yes. The Free plan is free forever, with no trial period or payment card required.
Do I need a card?
No card is required for the Free plan. You only pay if you choose to upgrade to a paid plan.
Does my server stay online 24/7?
Yes. CampHosting is designed around 24/7 hosting. Your server won’t shut down simply because nobody is connected. Like any online service, occasional maintenance may be necessary.
Is there a startup queue?
No. The launch offer includes no startup queues, including on the Free plan.
Can I install plugins?
Yes. Choose Paper or Purpur to use compatible plugins. Check that your plugins support the Minecraft version you select.
Can I install mods?
Yes, including on the Free plan. Choose Fabric, Forge or NeoForge and use mods compatible with that software and Minecraft version. Larger modpacks may need the resources of a paid plan.
Can I upload my existing world?
Yes. File access is included, so you can bring an existing world. Keep a backup and make sure the world matches your chosen software and version.
Which Minecraft versions are supported?
Available Minecraft versions depend on the chosen server software. The version list will be confirmed at launch.
Can I use Paper?
Yes. Paper is a supported choice and our suggested starting point for servers with plugins.
Can I use Forge?
Yes. Forge is included in our supported software choices for modded servers.
Can I use Fabric?
Yes. Fabric is included, alongside Forge and NeoForge, for compatible mods.
Can I change server software?
You’ll be able to choose from supported software as your server needs change. Back up first: worlds, mods and plugins are not always interchangeable between software or versions.
Do I get file access?
Yes. Console and file access are included on every plan, so you can manage your worlds, configuration and compatible mods or plugins.
What happens if I need more performance?
Choose Plus, Pro, Extreme for more RAM, higher CPU priority and additional capacity. The pricing page shows proposed paid plans; final specifications will be confirmed before launch.
What does “up to 4 GB RAM” mean?
The free plan dynamically allocates memory according to demand, up to 4 GB. This is not RAM reserved exclusively at all times.
Are player slots really unlimited?
There is no fixed plan limit on player slots. How many players your server can comfortably support depends on its world, software, mods and available resources.
Where are servers hosted?
We’re starting in Germany, Europe. The UK, North America and Asia Pacific are possible future regions; there are no confirmed launch dates for them yet.
