Why friend groups are leaving Aternos
Aternos built its name on the promise of free Minecraft hosting, and for a while, it was the only real option. But as it scaled, the cracks became impossible to ignore: aggressive ads before every server start, a queue system that makes launching your world feel like waiting at the DMV, and performance that struggles when you just want to play a modpack with your friends.
Seedloaf was built differently. We own the full stack, control panel, infrastructure, everything. That means faster bug fixes, features that actually make sense for players, and a team you can talk to directly in Discord. When something breaks, you're not filing a ticket into the void, you're talking to the people who built it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Seedloaf actually free like Aternos?
Yes, Seedloaf's free tier gives you 4–5 GB of RAM with no credit card required. Like Aternos, the server sleeps when no players are online. The difference: more RAM, less intrusive ads, and full mod support.
Can I upload any mods and plugins?
Absolutely. Unlike Aternos which limits you to their curated list, Seedloaf lets you upload any mods or plugins you want through the file manager. No restrictions.
What if we want the server online 24/7?
Upgrade to a premium plan starting at $6/month. Your server stays online around the clock, you get premium hardware, no ads, and priority support through Discord.
