Idea & first development
Minecraft servers. Free. Forever.
We offer Minecraft servers entirely for free. Minecraft connects people all over the world, and we want to help with that.
We believe that it should be possible for everybody to play Minecraft with their friends for free.
Such a service can only offer the best possible result for the user when the free service is
not just a test version of a paid service. That is why we offer our Minecraft servers without
any hidden costs or payable upgrades.
Aternos is funded successfully and exclusively for more than eight years with the earnings from the ads on the website.
These earnings are used to pay for the expenses to run the servers and also to pay the salaries of the employees.
