How To Evaluate The Veracity Of Free Minecraft Server Hosting Offers

By Edward Martin


The world of online gaming has been experiencing something of a virtual revolution in recent years and the availability of free Minecraft Server Hosting solutions is a welcome development. Industry enthusiasts as well as leading reviewers are understandably excited at the news. While the offers are there in their dozens, not every one of them is crafted for effect on every need. Perhaps the best piece of news is that these solutions are more often than not offered on easy to use and intuitive interfaces.

It is rarely the case that a game that is only available in the beta version creates such a sensational buzz in web circles. As it may not be possible for the average user to have their computer on for decidedly long periods like around the clock for instance, well crafted solutions on a robust server should be more than adequate. These offers may be provided free of charge, but they are nonetheless crafted to suit a host of needs.

Evaluate the offers that you come across on the volume of available storage that is given. At times you will take on challenges that require days to complete and it will be a poor experience if the host cannot guarantee you effective storage to make your online experience flawless. With offers running up to 10GB of guaranteed storage space, you cannot claim to lack options.

You should as well give weighted preference to offers that give you a hassle free access as well as setting up of the account. With advances in technology being witnessed on a daily basis, it should not take a virtual eternity to have you account approved. Some less than satisfactory offers delay applications ostensibly because interminable admin checks have to be carried out. In truth, no offer should take more than a few minutes so long as the applicant has a valid email and username.

Be careful as well to scout out offers that guarantee you speedy and perpetual availability of server access from your computer. This should be given irrespective of how often you play or how long each session lasts. While you have a part to play in ensuring that you have an adequately fast ISP connection, the server company should not undo this with low quality service on their part.

If you are not careful, you might be trapped into trusting the word of paid reviewers of certain services. Even where a service has performed to optimum expectations on a particular user's account, there is no guarantee that these results will be replicated on your own account as well. In other words, trust a service to be efficient only if you try it out and this proves to be the case. A good and effective way to evaluate the performance of servers is using the Ping feature that is part of all operating system's network troubleshooting tools.

A good support network should underlie any service, even when it is provided free. You may have to put up with advertisements on the console you use but this should not be the only content. Providers who have assembled a collection of relevant knowledge base of Minecraft tips and tricks are the only ones worth your consideration. You should also look for offers that incorporate forums where players can get to interact and share tricks.

While there are many reviews doing the rounds on the web, it is best to try out each offer on your own. Look for whether the service is given with guarantees such as full FTP access, adequate privacy controls as well uptime guarantees. Any effective free Minecraft server hosting offer should also have adequate RAID storage protection.
