Not for business use.
It was created because most free hosting solutions are barely usable in practice, and truly functional, community-driven free game server hosting is almost non-existent.
Open registration. Controlled ordering access.
Community-based service under active development. Users registering with a valid invitation can order immediately. Users without an invitation can also register in the client area, but ordering becomes available only after an access request has been approved.
Availability and maintenance: status.xhosting.hu (monitoring data is updated every 5 minutes by default).

Why is it free, and why can it be trusted?
A transparent community model, not a data-harvesting trick
xHOSTING is not built on ads, hidden data sales, or overpromised packages. The model is simple: finite capacity, controlled access, and controlled operation.
Not funded by selling data
The purpose of the service is not to collect or sell user data. Required data is only connected to operation, access management, communication, and legal obligations.
No unlimited promises
Capacity is public and intentionally finite. If there is no free slot, no new service is issued just to make the system look larger on paper.
Not an anonymous backend
The website operates with legal documents, a privacy policy, terms of service, and impressum information. The goal is traceable, regulated, and sustainable operation.
In short:
we are not trying to be for everyone. We are building a transparent system that can be kept under control.
What is xHOSTING?
xHOSTING is a controlled-access technical community providing free web hosting and game server hosting with a strong focus on quality and reliability.
It is not a mass-market, automatically available hosting service and intentionally avoids price competition and overselling-based operation.
Registration is open. Users with a valid invitation can order immediately; users registering without an invitation need an approved access request before ordering.
Note: the animation above is a metaphor, not an outage message.
xHOSTING does not provide a formal SLA, because the service is free.
The system is designed for stable operation. Web, DNS and game server services are measured separately so it is easier to see how each area performs.
xHOSTING aims to maintain high availability: ~99% target for web hosting services and ~95% target for game server hosting.

Resource model – without packages
xHOSTING does not operate with traditional hosting or game server packages. There is no “Basic”, “Pro”, or similar tiering. The system is built around real, sustainably maintainable capacity rather than marketing plans.
Free web hosting
Web hosting is not divided into artificial packages. Access is provided through a unified model, with the goal of offering a stable and actually usable service.
- 25 GiB storage
- multiple domain and subdomain management
- databases and email accounts
- SSL (Let’s Encrypt)
- file management and basic developer tools
- SSH access
- scheduled tasks (cron)
- application management and installation
- backup capability
- file manager, DNS editor, and certificate management
- DDoS protection and multi-layer traffic filtering
Free game server hosting
Game servers run with game-specific, separated resources. Here too, the goal is not overpromising, but stable operation and predictable usability.
- separate resource management by game
- fixed, isolated resource allocation
- database and separate database backups
- SFTP access
- scheduled tasks (cron)
- automated port allocation
- modding and customization support
- full access to server management and configuration
- capacity is adjusted for stable operation
- no overselling, servers are not overloaded
- DDoS protection and multi-layer traffic filtering
What does this mean in practice?
Resources are not wrapped into artificial marketing packages. The system provides what can be maintained stably and fairly.
no competition between packages
no “more money = more resources” logic
the system does not slow down because of other users
there is no overselling for either web hosting or game servers
IMPORTANT: These are not purchasable services. Web hosting is free, game server hosting is free, and anyone using it becomes part of a community-based system.
Community hosting, not mass hosting
How does xHOSTING work?
xHOSTING is a controlled-access, community-based system that provides free web hosting and free game server hosting for learning, development, testing, and smaller community projects.
What is it?
A nonprofit community hosting environment where the goal is not to serve as many users as possible, but to maintain stable and transparent operation.
What can it be used for?
Personal websites, smaller projects, development tests, and MTA, GTA5 (M), GTA V RP, and ARK: Survival Evolved game servers.
Why is an access request required?
Capacity is finite. Users with a valid invitation receive ordering access immediately; users registering without an invitation need a request and approval before ordering. This helps prevent abuse, over-allocation, and system overload.
Current game server resource limits are publicly available here: supported game server types and resource limits
Transparent operation without exposing unnecessary technical details
Operational model and security approach
xHOSTING is not built for mass registration or overpromised capacity. The goal is controlled, measurable and sustainable operation without publishing internal technical details unnecessarily.
Layered operation
Services run through multiple controlled layers with separated components and restricted access. Public access is not backed by a single all-purpose shared box.
Monitored system
Operation is supported by a public status page, regular checks and capacity monitoring. The goal is not a nice-sounding promise, but a visible and trackable state.
Responsible limits instead of SLA
xHOSTING is a free community service, so it does not provide a commercial SLA or compensation. Instead, it runs with finite capacity, no overselling and reasonable usage limits.
Important:
For security reasons, the website does not publish detailed network topology, server placement or internal architecture. This is intentional, not an omission.
Short answers for common searches
What should you know quickly?
These answers summarize the most common search intents in a clear and compact way.
Is there free GTA V RP server hosting?
Yes. The GTA5 (M) resource model can be used for GTA V multiplayer and roleplay-style community servers with finite capacity and controlled access.
Is there free web hosting?
Yes. The free web hosting is intended for smaller projects, learning, testing, personal websites, and community pages.
Is there a free MTA server?
Yes. MTA game servers can be used by smaller communities for casual play, development and testing.
Is there an ARK: Survival Evolved server?
Yes. ARK: Survival Evolved servers are available with limited community capacity and controlled access.
Why is an access request required?
xHOSTING runs on finite capacity, so ordering after registration without an invitation requires an access request. Users registering with an invitation do not need a separate request.
Is there DDoS protection on xHOSTING?
Yes. xHOSTING uses DDoS protection and multi-layer traffic filtering. This does not mean unlimited protection, but it helps reduce the attack surface.
Is xHOSTING web hosting secure?
xHOSTING web hosting uses server-side protection, backups, SSL support and DDoS protection and multi-layer traffic filtering.
Is the game server environment protected?
Game servers run on limited, non-oversold capacity with server-side firewall protection and DDoS protection and multi-layer traffic filtering.

Central capacity-planning value
32 KiB
This is a background value for central capacity planning: it is not a file-size limit, not a user quota, and does not guarantee the actual average size of stored files.
The limits apply to the complete web hosting profile. The service operates as a finite-capacity, controlled-access community system.

Available slot count refreshes in: --:--
Available resources may vary depending on community capacity. xHOSTING is not a commercial provider, but a nonprofit community infrastructure; game servers can only be assigned when capacity is available.
Yes. Web hosting and game server hosting are completely free and available after registration. No hidden fees, no ads, no data selling – xHOSTING is a community infrastructure, not a commercial hosting provider.
If you have a valid invitation, you can order immediately after registering. Without an invitation you can still register, but you will need to submit an access request that must be approved before ordering.
xHOSTING is community infrastructure: no SLA, no packages, no support guarantees. In return there is no overselling, no ads and no data selling. It operates with limited capacity and controlled access.
MTA (Multi Theft Auto), GTA5 (M) / FiveM-based GTA V multiplayer and RP servers, and ARK: Survival Evolved servers are available. Capacity is limited and controlled.
xHOSTING is a community system and does not offer SLA guarantees. You can monitor live status at status.xhosting.hu.
Registration, invitation and access request
You can join xHOSTING with an invitation or through public registration. Users registering with a valid invitation receive ordering rights immediately.
Users registering without an invitation must submit an access request before ordering services. The system may approve it automatically, reject it, or forward it to administrators for further review.
The data requested during registration is not abused or sold. It is primarily needed for billing preparation if fee-based services are used later.
Anyone may request deletion of their data by email or through a ticket opened in the client area. The goal remains quality, security and sustainable resource usage.
