Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Cubiko.
Yes! Cubiko is free for personal use. We leverage your own hardware to host the server, so we don't have the high infrastructure costs of traditional hosting providers.
Absolutely not. Cubiko uses secure tunnel technology to expose your local server to the internet without any manual router configuration.
Yes. Cubiko supports Paper, Spigot, Forge, and Fabric. You can easily install your favorite plugins and modpacks through the dashboard.
Cubiko uses an encrypted tunnel that only allows Minecraft traffic to reach your server. Your actual IP address is never exposed to the public, protecting you from DDoS attacks.
We recommend at least 8GB of RAM and a quad-core processor for a smooth experience with 5-10 friends. Cubiko itself uses very little resources.
