We've built Fern for one reason: to make hosting a server as fun as playing on one. We're tired of clunky dashboards and slow launches, so we designed something that stays out of your way and just works.

Why Fern?

We believe hosting shouldn't feel like a part-time job. Whether you're a first-timer or you've been running networks for years, our tools give you absolute control without the headache.

Instant Gratification: Your world starts in seconds. No more waiting around for a "provisioning" bar.
Built for Creators: If you're a modpack dev or a community leader, you'll find everything you need right where you expect it.
Mission Control: This is your home base. Manage real-time logs, snapshots, and settings from one sleek dashboard.

Let's Get You Online

Getting your first world running takes about as long as it does to craft a crafting table:

Top Up Your Wallet: Fern uses credits. You're never locked into a monthly bill, because you only pay while the server is active.
Choose Your Path: Follow our Creating Your First Server guide. You can go from a template or start completely from scratch.
Bring the Crowd: Copy your unique endpoint, send it to your friends, and start building.

Just so you know: if you ever get stuck, our Discord community is full of people ready to help, or you can drop us a line at hello@fern.host.
