I Built A Minecraft Hosting Service That Makes Me $1,000 In Profit Per Month

Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?

Hi everyone! I'm Nuno Facha, the founder of FreeMcServer, which started in 2018 (in its beta form).

Our main (and only, at this time) service/product is our free high-performance Minecraft server hosting. While we started in the red (dedicated servers are not cheap), we are now making around 1k USD profit a month, with more than 970.000 unique users registered on the platform!!

By providing a mainly free service I realized that from the beginning that most of my audience would not want (or couldn't afford) any kind of purchases or addons or similar thins, after all, there are many other larger “regular hosting providers” where you pay a monthly fee for your server, so if they came to a free hosting service they were looking for a free alternative, this was (and still is) a big factor on how much resources we can assign to free plans.

This showed to be true as most of our user base remains on the free tier, and we have large user pools from lower-income countries where you have more important things to spend your money on.
