More Added Over Time
New eggs go on the panel when there is hardware for them and somebody here wants to play the game. Members pick what gets added next, in the Discord.
Dedicated game servers on symmetric UK fibre, run out of a homelab for a group of people who were invited into it. Members pay nothing and never have. There is no signup on this site, and no waiting list to join.
Closed to new accounts · Existing members keep their servers · DDoS filtered upstream
"24/7" means the only reason we ever stop your server is a lack of activity on it. The seven-day inactivity rule is the one clock running — no renewal link, no advert to watch. It is not a guaranteed uptime figure: this is a homelab, so outages happen and the host gets rebooted for patching.
This originally ran as an open signup — anyone could join the Discord and spin up a free server. Three things ended that, and none of them were caused by the people it was meant for.
One of those three has since been dealt with: the line sits behind a DDoS filtering provider now, so an attack no longer takes a household's broadband down with the game server. It did not reopen the door. Malware accounts and a support rule treated as a support queue were the other two reasons, and neither of them is a network problem.
Already have a world? Upload your existing save through the panel and pick up where you left off — and pull a backup out whenever you want.
Add sub-users from the panel so your friends can use the console, restart the server and manage files — without ever touching your account.
Select your game and region, click create, and your server is installed and running within minutes.
A panel account is tied to a Discord account in AlienX's Place, and the role that unlocks it is now handed out rather than picked. Leave the Discord and the server goes with you.
Not a cheap VPS sliced into oblivion, and not a datacentre either — enterprise kit in a rack at home, on a domestic fibre line behind a scrubbing provider.
Symmetric UK fibre — the same speed up as down, which is what actually matters for a game server. No throttling on your server's connection.
Enterprise kit in a homelab rack, not a shared VPS sliced into oblivion.
Industry-standard game panel with a clean UI, file manager, console access, and resource graphs — all in the browser.
Full filesystem access over the panel and SFTP. Install modpacks, plugins, datapacks and custom maps yourself — no curated list to wait on.
Slots are capped by the hardware, so every game has a fixed number of them. This is read from the panel every hour and is here so members can see what is left before they plan something. A free slot is not an opening — creating a server still needs an account, and accounts are invite only.
Read from the panel hourly and refreshed on this page as you read it. Creating a server still needs a Discord account with the Server Hosting role.
Everything the panel can deploy, with what each one is given. Members get one server at a time and can switch games by deleting the current one and creating another.

Homelab server on residential fibre. 900/900 Mbps symmetric connection with Ceph NVMe/SSD storage for fast file operations. Solar powered — your server runs on sunshine. Inbound traffic arrives over a tunnel from a DDoS filtering provider rather than straight at the line.
Game and panel traffic no longer arrives at the house directly. It comes in over a tunnel from a scrubbing provider, so an attack aimed at a server hits their network instead of a residential connection.
Traffic for the servers is routed through a DDoS filtering provider over a GRE tunnel. Attack traffic is dropped on their network, at their capacity, and never reaches the fibre line at all.
This is the part that mattered. An attack on a game server used to take out the broadband of the people living behind it. Filtered upstream, it does not — the line stays up whether or not somebody is throwing traffic at us.
Filtering answers one of the three reasons open signup ended. It does nothing about accounts made to host malware, and nothing about a "no support" rule being treated as a support queue. Those are why it is still invite only.
Routing through a scrubbing network adds a small amount of latency compared with traffic arriving straight at the door. That is the trade, it is stated rather than hidden, and it is a better deal than a household going dark.
Filtering is not a guarantee. A big enough or clever enough attack can still cause trouble, and this is still a homelab rather than a datacentre — what changed is that the failure mode is a slow server rather than a family with no internet.
The ground rules for the people who host here. The big one: you need to be in our Discord, and your server goes when you leave it.
Not on your own. The panel does not take public registrations any more — creating an account needs an invite code from somebody already hosting here, and there is no form, queue or waiting list behind that. If you have been given a code, this is what to do with it. If you have not, there is nothing on this page to apply to, and asking around for one is the surest way to make sure you never get one.
Three reasons, all of them from the open-signup era. The line this runs on was hit with DDoS attacks, which takes out a household's broadband rather than just a game server. Accounts were being created to host malware and use a free server as somewhere disposable to run it from. And the "no support" rule — stated plainly everywhere — was ignored often enough that a hobby turned into an unpaid helpdesk. An open door made all three cheap to keep doing.
No. Traffic comes in over a tunnel from a DDoS filtering provider, so an attack is dropped on their network instead of taking out a residential line — that genuinely fixed the worst of the three problems. It did nothing about the other two. Filtering does not stop somebody creating an account to host malware on, and it does not turn a "no support" rule into something people respect. Those are why it is still invite only.
A little, and it is worth being straight about it. Traffic reaches the servers through a scrubbing network rather than arriving at the door, and that extra hop costs a few milliseconds. In exchange, an attack on one game server no longer takes the whole house offline. For the kind of games run here that is a trade worth making every time.
Open it. It takes you to the panel login page, which will tell you whose invite has been applied, and you sign in with Discord from there. If you were sent a bare code rather than a link, go to the panel login page yourself and paste the code into the field on it. If you are not in our Discord yet, the panel will wait while you join and then finish the job on its own — see how access works for the whole run through.
Almost always it is Discord being slow rather than anything being wrong. The panel keeps trying and tells you outright that the invite has not been used yet, so nothing is spent and the code is still good — leave it a few minutes and open the link again. If the "Join the Discord" button does not open, your browser has blocked the popup; the Discord link in our footer goes to the same server. A code that has genuinely already been used by somebody else cannot be reused, and you will need a fresh one.
Every account gets the same small number, shown on a banner on your panel dashboard. Giving one out spends it. Cancelling one that nobody has used gives the slot back, but once a code has been used it is permanent — it cannot be cancelled, reused or moved to someone else, because that record is what says who vouched for whom. Invites do not replenish over time, and there is no way to earn or buy more.
No. Invites only apply to new sign-ups. If you already host here, nothing has changed for you — you are never asked for a code, and your server carries on as it was.
It means the record permanently shows that your invite is how they got in. We can follow that chain, and we take it into account when we look at what an account has been doing. It is the thing an anonymous signup could never give us, and it is why invite only works at all — so spend yours on people you actually know rather than on strangers who asked.
Possibly. Former members are looked at case by case, and being here before counts for something. What it is not is a right, and it is not a conversation to open by asking repeatedly. Begging for a re-invite is an immediate and permanent no — that is not a negotiating position, it is just how it works.
Yes, for the people who host here. Nobody has ever paid for a server and nobody pays for one now. Going invite only was about who gets an account, not about charging for it — there is nothing to buy, no tier to upgrade to and no card details anywhere.
Gone. The supporter tiers no longer exist, nothing on the panel is behind a payment, and there is no way to contribute money towards this. If you held a pledge, it has ended and nothing you had is being withheld.
Yes. Hosting here means being in AlienX's Place, and the role the panel checks is not something you can pick for yourself — it is granted when a valid invite is used and you are in the Discord, which the panel handles for you during sign-up. Stay in the server for as long as you want the game server: if you leave the Discord, your server is deleted.
For as long as people are playing on it. Your server runs around the clock, and the seven-day inactivity rule is the only clock running against it. If nobody plays on it for seven days we remove it to free up capacity, but it stays online for the whole of that week.
No, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. 24/7 means the only reason we ever stop your server is a lack of activity on it. It is not a guaranteed uptime figure: this is a homelab, so outages happen and the host gets rebooted for patching and upgrades. Nothing else on our side deliberately stops a server.
Each account gets one server at a time. To switch games, delete your current server and create a new one. If you are running a community or hosting an event, ask on Discord — exceptions can be made case by case.
Yes to both. You get full file access through the panel and over SFTP, so you can install mods, plugins and configs yourself, upload an existing world, and download a backup whenever you want.
Yes. You can add friends as sub-users from the panel, which lets them use the console, restart the server and manage files without ever having access to your account. A sub-user is not an account of their own and does not come with a server.
No. Servers are provided as-is with no technical support — you are responsible for configuring, managing and troubleshooting your own server. Other members are often happy to help in the Discord, but that is them being generous, not a support channel, and treating it as one is part of how we ended up here.
Not quite. This is a hobby project with no plans to shut down, but there are no guarantees it will run forever. Just something to keep in mind.
There is no registration form to fill in. An account starts with an invite handed to you by somebody already hosting here, and this is what happens once you have one.
A member spends one of their invites on you and sends you a link, or a short code that looks like 7K2Q-9FBM. Invites are offered, never requested — if nobody has given you one, there is nothing on this page to apply for.
The link lands you on the panel login page, which shows you whose invite it is before you do anything else. Sent a bare code instead? Paste it into the field on that page. Then sign in with Discord.
Not in AlienX's Place yet? The panel holds the page open and waits for you. Join, and it gives you the Server Hosting role and carries on by itself — no refreshing, no starting over.
Pick a password and the account is yours. After that it is the same panel everyone else here uses: one server at a time, choose your game, running in minutes.
If Discord is slow or down while the panel is waiting on step 3, it keeps trying and says plainly that your invite has not been used. Nothing is lost, the code is still good, and you can close the tab and open the link again later. If the "Join the Discord" button gets blocked by your browser, the invite link in our footer goes to the same place.
Invites are the only way in, so they are handed to members rather than kept by us. This is what a member sees, and what an invite means once it has been used.
A banner on your panel dashboard tells you how many you have left. Click it for the list and a Create button — each new invite is a short code plus a link you can send someone.
Handing one out uses a slot. Cancel one nobody has used and the slot comes straight back. They do not top up over time, so there is no waiting for next month's batch — when yours are gone, they are gone.
Once somebody has signed up with a code it cannot be cancelled or handed to anyone else. That record is the entire point of the system — it is what says who vouched for whom.
Your name sits next to theirs on the record as the person who let them in. We can follow that chain, and it is taken into account. Spend yours on people you actually know.
One thing worth knowing if you are being invited: a brand-new Discord account normally has to age a little before it can create a server here. An invite lifts that wait, because somebody real has already vouched for you.
Nothing about this changes for people who already have an account. You are never asked for a code, and existing servers carry on exactly as they were — the invite system only decides who gets a new account.
The panel is where your server lives, and the Discord is where everything else happens. If you do not have an account, neither of these will give you one — the invite has to come first.
Invites are open for a little while. Take a code and it is yours — it puts you straight onto the panel login page with the code already filled in.
Write it down. It is yours, it is on the panel already, and this box is the only place this site will show it to you. You will need a Discord account in AlienX's Place to finish signing up.
