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

Intel Xeon and AMD Ryzen platforms with per-core performance on par with a Ryzen 9 5900X — your server never fights for CPU time.

zero.ms DDoS protection

Our custom, in-house filtering — among the best currently available in Romania — absorbs attacks before they ever reach your server.

1–10 Gbps network

High-bandwidth, low-latency uplinks keep your ping stable even with a full player list and heavy world traffic.

A real control panel

Live console, start/restart/stop controls, CPU, memory and network graphs, SFTP access and activity logs — no toy dashboard.

Online in minutes

Create an account, claim a free server and invite your friends. No credit card, no waiting rooms, no hidden requirements.

Quality over quantity

We deliberately keep stock limited so every server keeps premium performance. New capacity is announced on Discord first.

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.
