Your server runs on machines in Victoria, prices are in Australian dollars, and when something goes wrong you talk to the person who runs it, on Discord.
Prices in AUD. No setup fee. Cancel any time from your account.
I'm Ezekiel (PF_Zeke). I've been hosting Minecraft servers for my mates since 2018, and I was always the one offering to set up servers for other people too. LunaHost is me doing that for anyone who wants it. If you like it, tell your friends.
Questions go straight to me on Discord. There is no ticket system and no support script.
Join the DiscordAlso behind LunaLink, the Discord bot for finding people to play with.
Every server comes with Luna Panel, where you run it from.
On one of our own machines in Victoria. Players connect through our server in Sydney, so Australian players get less lag than on a server overseas. Friends in North America connect through our server in Los Angeles, which gives them a steadier route across the Pacific.
The machines are on a home internet connection, not in a data centre. That keeps prices low, and it means we cannot promise perfect uptime. If something goes down, we say so on Discord.
LunaHost runs on machines of its own, each named after a phase of the moon. These numbers come straight from them, live.
Everything LunaHost has, added together.
Your server runs on one of these.
Asking the machines...
Each plan lists its memory, players and storage.
Name it, pick the software and version, or press Quick start. You can also start from a modpack or your old world.
Monthly. The server is usually ready in a couple of minutes, with its own address.
The panel writes the message to send your friends.
Add the LunaHost bot to your Discord server. Only people you have added to the server in the panel can press its buttons.
/server start, restart, stop or back up/statusboard a message that shows who is online and keeps itself up to date/bridge link a channel and the game chat both waysMonthly by card. You can cancel from your account at any time and the server keeps running until the end of the month you have already paid for. You can also move to a bigger or smaller plan from there.
Sometimes. When one is running it shows on the order page. You still add a card, but you are not charged if you cancel before the trial ends, and we email you the day before it does.
In Australia. Your server runs on our own machines in Victoria, and players connect through our server in Sydney. Players in North America are sent through our server in Los Angeles instead, using the same address, which gives them a better route to Australia. The server itself is still here, so they will have more lag than Australian players. This works for servers on a lunahost.uk address. We run them on a home internet connection rather than in a big data centre, which is part of how we keep prices low. That also means we can't promise perfect uptime, and if something goes down we post about it on our Discord.
Java Edition servers only. You can pick Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, Quilt or plain Vanilla, and any version that software offers, from the newest down to old favourites. You can change the version later, and the panel takes a backup first.
Yes. Upload it when you set up your server, or later from the Backups tab, as a zip, rar, 7z or tar.gz up to 10 GB. The panel brings across the world, your mods or plugins and their configs.
Each plan has a storage limit, shown on the order page. Backups are kept separately and do not count towards it. If your server goes over, it warns players and then stops, and nothing is deleted. Clear some space and it starts again.
No. You sign in with the Google account you already have, and that account owns your servers. There is no separate password.
Yes. Invite them by email or with a link, and choose what they can do: admins get almost everything, moderators can restart, use the console and manage players, and viewers can only look.
Yes, on the software that supports them, and you can search and install them from inside the panel. Plugins need Paper or Purpur, and mods need Fabric, Forge, NeoForge or Quilt. A plain Vanilla server cannot load either, and the panel tells you that rather than letting you install something that will never run.
We pause the server rather than delete it, and email you. Your world stays where it is while you sort the card out, and the server starts again once the payment goes through.
No, but they are run by the same person. LunaLink is a Discord bot for finding people to play with. The LunaHost bot is a separate bot for running your server from Discord. LunaHost is where you rent the server, and Luna Panel is the window you run it from.
