Why Torchlite
Free doesn't have to mean slow
Most free hosts overcrowd old machines. We do the opposite: fewer servers, newer hardware, serious protection.
Latest-generation hardware
Newest Intel Xeon Scalable & AMD Ryzen CPUs and fast NVMe SSDs — R9 5900X-class per-core speed.
zero.ms DDoS protection
Custom in-house filtering — among the best in Romania — stops attacks before they reach you.
1–10 Gbps network
High-bandwidth, low-latency uplinks keep ping stable even with a full server.
A real control panel
Live console, power controls, resource graphs, SFTP and activity logs — no toy dashboard.
Online in minutes
Sign up, claim a free server and invite your friends. No credit card, no waiting rooms.
Quality over quantity
Stock is kept limited on purpose, so every server keeps premium performance.
Automatic backups
Your world is snapshotted regularly — roll back in a couple of clicks if anything breaks.
One-click modpacks & plugins
Install modpacks, Paper plugins and server types from the panel — no manual JAR juggling.
Free subdomain
Every server gets a clean address like yourname.torchlite.host — easy to share.

Real feedback from real server owners running on Torchlite.
“I was expecting the usual laggy free host. Instead my SMP runs at a solid 20 TPS with a full server of friends. No idea how it's free.”
Andrei M.
Vanilla SMP owner
“Live console, SFTP, resource graphs — it feels like a paid panel. Setting up a Paper server took me under two minutes.”
Cristina P.
Paper network admin
“We got hit by a booter during an event and didn't even notice. The server never dropped a single player.”
Robert D.
Community owner
“Fabric with 80+ mods and it still boots fast. The uplink handles a busy world without ping spikes.”
Ioana T.
Fabric modpack host
“Asked a question at midnight and someone from the team answered in minutes. Can't ask for more from a free service.”
Vlad S.
Project Zomboid host
“Honestly better than what I was paying €8/mo for. When I outgrow it I already know I'll move to TorchByte.”
Maria G.
Terraria server owner
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Torchlite really free?
Yes — 100% free, no credit card and no trial period. Torchlite is sponsored by TorchByte and supported by non-intrusive ads inside the panel, which is how we can afford premium hardware.
Why is stock limited?
Because we refuse to overcrowd machines. Every node has a fixed number of slots so performance stays high for everyone. When new capacity is added, we announce it on Discord first.
What hardware will my server run on?
Latest-generation Intel Xeon and AMD Ryzen platforms with per-core performance comparable to a Ryzen 9 5900X, connected through 1–10 Gbps uplinks.
Am I protected against DDoS attacks?
Yes. Every server sits behind zero.ms, our custom-built DDoS protection — among the best currently available in Romania. Attacks are filtered before they reach your server.
What access do I get to my server?
Full access: a real-time console, start/restart/stop controls, resource graphs, SFTP file access, player management and an activity log. It's your server — we just host it.
What if I need more resources?
When your community grows, you can move to TorchByte, our premium hosting brand, with dedicated resources and the same protection. Migration help is available on Discord.
