Minecraft hosting with a free trial
CyberNex includes a free 1-day trial on every game server category, including Minecraft, so you can test the panel, modpack installer and real latency from your players before paying. Free tiers elsewhere (Aternos, Falix) are Europe-based and sleep when idle, so they cannot tell you how a Singapore server performs for Sri Lankan or Southeast Asian players. Because paid CyberNex plans are non-refundable, testing with the trial first is the way to buy with confidence.

What to check

- Measure actual ping from both SLT and Dialog connections in Sri Lanka.
- Try your real modpack and plugins, not a default world.
- Check jitter and packet loss over several minutes, not a single ping.
Frequently asked questions
Does CyberNex offer a free Minecraft trial?
Yes. Every game server category, including Minecraft, includes a free 1-day trial so you can test the panel and real latency before paying.
Are CyberNex Minecraft plans refundable?
No. Paid plans are non-refundable, which is exactly why the free 1-day trial exists - test first, then upgrade to a paid plan that fits your player count.
How does the trial compare to Aternos or Falix?
Aternos and Falix are free but Europe-hosted and sleep when idle, so they do not reflect Singapore performance for South or Southeast Asian players. The CyberNex trial runs on the same infrastructure as paid servers.
When are Minecraft servers hosted?
From our Singapore data center, giving roughly 40ms to Colombo and low latency across South and Southeast Asia.
