Turn your Android phone into a fully functional Minecraft server. Free forever, no subscriptions, no monthly fees. Java and Bedrock players join the same world.
VPS proxy routing, crossplay, root file access, live console, and six server engines. All running on your Android device, all free.
Every player connection routes through our central VPS proxy infrastructure using secure reverse tunnels (Bore / FRP). Players only ever see the IP of our proxy server. Your home network, your location, and your device remain completely invisible to the outside world.
PC, console, and mobile players join the exact same world through the same address. No split communities, no second server, no extra setup. Crossplay works out of the box.
Upload existing worlds, install custom maps, drop in plugins, or hand-edit server.properties. You have direct file-system access on your device. No FTP, no upload limits, no waiting.
Email or Google sign-in via Supabase. Your server profiles and settings sync across the app and web dashboard automatically.
Execute commands and read server output in real-time, from the in-app terminal or the web Server Manager.
Track CPU load, RAM usage, and tick rate live. Know exactly how your device is holding up before your players notice lag.
No purchase, no subscription, no premium tiers. Optional Ko-fi support if you want to help cover server costs. It unlocks nothing.
Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Vanilla, Folia and Velocity versions are fetched live from their APIs. No app update needed to get new releases.
Link your Minecraft account to our Lobby Server and manage your servers through a custom in-game GUI without leaving the game.
No server configuration, no port forwarding, no monthly bills. Download the app, sign in, tap Create Server, done.
Get KodaHosting from the Google Play Store. Completely free, no subscriptions, no hidden fees. Install it on any Android device with ARM64 architecture.
Launch KodaHosting and sign in with your account or with Google. The app automatically sets up Java, the secure tunnel, and the proxy routing in the background.
Inside the app, tap the Create Server button. Pick your engine, version and RAM. That's it. Your server is live and players can join through your subdomain within seconds.
From vanilla to high-performance modded servers. Pick the engine that fits your community. Versions are fetched live from their respective APIs.
Stop paying monthly fees for someone else's hardware. Run the server on your own device, with better privacy and full control.
Everything you need to know about hosting Minecraft servers on your Android device.
Each account can host a maximum of six (6) servers simultaneously. This limit applies across all server types (Minecraft servers and databases combined) and is in place to ensure fair use of the shared VPS proxy infrastructure. Creating multiple accounts to bypass this limit is not allowed and may result in a permanent ban.
Your server runs only while the KodaHosting app is active on your device. When the app is in the foreground, players can join freely. In the background, the server stays alive with reduced priority. When you close the app, the server stops. You can also hibernate servers to free up resources without deleting them.
When your phone's screen is off, Android may put the app into a deep sleep state depending on your battery settings. To keep the server accessible, disable battery optimization for KodaHosting in your Android settings, or keep the device plugged in. Players connecting through our VPS proxy will automatically reconnect once your device wakes up.
For a small survival server with 5–10 players, 1–2 GB of RAM is sufficient. For larger communities or heavy mod packs, allocate 3–4 GB. The app automatically caps your RAM allocation based on your device's available memory to prevent system instability. You can adjust the allocation at any time from the server management panel.
Yes. All player connections are routed through our central VPS infrastructure using secure reverse proxy tunnels (Bore / FRP). Players only ever see the IP address of our proxy server, never your home IP. This means your network remains completely private and protected from DDoS attacks or targeted harassment.
If your internet connection drops, players will be disconnected from the server. The server itself continues running on your device, and once your connection is restored, the proxy tunnel reconnects automatically and players can rejoin. World data is always saved locally on your device, so no progress is lost during disconnects.
Yes. The web dashboard at host.kodanetwork.eu lets you manage all your servers from any browser. The Server Manager gives you access to the live console (where you can execute commands and see server output in real-time) and the file management view (where you can upload worlds, install maps, and edit configuration files). Start, stop, restart, and other server lifecycle actions happen in the app directly. The dashboard communicates with your device through Supabase realtime updates.
Running a Minecraft server is computationally intensive and will generate heat and consume battery. We recommend keeping your device plugged in while hosting, placing it on a cool surface, and avoiding prolonged use in direct sunlight. The app includes a live performance monitor so you can track CPU and RAM usage. We are not liable for hardware damage, overheating, or battery degradation resulting from intensive use, as outlined in our Terms of Service.
No. KodaHosting is completely free — no purchase, no subscription, no premium features. The entire app, all engines, the VPS proxy infrastructure and the web dashboard are available to everyone at no cost. If you want to support development, there is an optional Ko-fi link in the app, but it is entirely voluntary and unlocks nothing.
KodaHosting is a hobby project by a single developer. Server infrastructure costs are kept low through efficient use of resources, and voluntary Ko-fi donations from supporters help cover ongoing hosting costs. There is no business model that requires charging users.
KodaHosting is free and always will be. If you enjoy using the app and want to help cover server costs and future development, an optional tip via Ko-fi goes a long way. No pressure, no rewards, no perks — just support.
