Changes to Server Plans

[jamieisthebest]

Hi everyone. Yesterday we rolled out the largest adjustment we’ve ever made to server plans:

Simplified plans with lower prices for the same specs
We have renamed server plans and lowered the prices. In addition, later this month, we are opening up ports on all paid server plans so you can use plugins like votifier, voice chat, and others.
• Starter Plan (prev Free) remains free and the best way to get started playing and creating on Minehut
• Standard Plan (prev MH20) price drops to 600 credits/month (less than $4/month) and the best option for playing with friends
• Pro Plan (prev MH75) price drops to 1,800 credits/month (less than $12/month) and is the best option for growing communities
• Ultimate Plan (prev MH Unlimited) price drops to 6,000 (less than $38/month) and is the best option for motivated entrepreneurs
• Custom Plan remains as-is and offers flexible options to customize RAM, CPU, Disk Space, and other settings
• External Server Plan remains as-is and allows you to host anywhere and connect to Minehut
• MH35 is being deprecated (currently active plans will remain active)

New time limit on free servers (remove the limit with a paid plan)
We are rolling out a 4-hour daily time limit on free servers. To remove the limit on a server, upgrade to a paid plan.

This was not an easy decision to make, but essential for the future of Minehut. Free servers are very expensive for us to run and we have been operating at an unsustainable loss for a long time. That said, free servers are core to the reason many of you use Minehut and very important to us. Our goal is to find a balance where we create a cap to the cost and resources needed to run free servers so that we can improve specs on free servers, offer the most competitive paid offering, and establish a long future ahead for Minehut.

We’ll iterate on the daily time limit from here and we’re exploring controls that give you more control over who can start and join your servers. It also has never been a better time to upgrade to a paid plan or explore community-made servers.
