Summary
Play Hosting positions itself as a free Minecraft hosting option, which is its main draw. The server performance itself can be decent when things are working. However, reviewers report serious reliability problems - including a mode that rendered one server permanently inaccessible and recurring data loss where plugins and files were deleted without warning. The limited review base makes it hard to gauge how widespread these issues are. Best treated as a casual, no-stakes option for testing or temporary servers rather than anything you want to rely on long-term.

It was OK hosting, but data lost
It was OK hosting, the server was not laggy. Only problem is it once went into 'Limbo Mode' and said I would get my server back shortly. I never did to this day, it's still in that mode. Also occasionaly - every so often - it for some reason deletes all my plugins and other data. But this is free and I know it's hard to host a Minecraf server, so credits to Tubbo.

Verdict
Not Recommended
