Reachability by region

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What Aternos does

Aternos is a free Minecraft server host run by Aternos GmbH. Players create a personal server for Java or Bedrock Edition, or Hytale, add mods, plugins or modpacks, and press Start when they want to play; friends join through an address ending in aternos.me. Nothing can be bought, so capacity is shared: servers start on demand and stop again once they are empty.

What an outage looks like

A real outage shows as aternos.org failing to load, or servers stuck in the Pending status, which Aternos says means the host machine running your server is unreachable. A queue with a position and estimated wait is not an outage; it means free capacity is full. Friends getting Connection reset errors while your panel shows Online usually points to DNS caching, not a platform fault.

What to do about it

Check status.aternos.gmbh, which lists Website, Gameservers, Storage, Network and DNS separately. If your server is Pending, wait: the team is alerted automatically, and the Cancel button that appears after 10 minutes discards data, often everything since the last start. In a queue, keep the tab open so you can click the green confirm button. If friends cannot connect to an Online server, share the DynIP from the Connect button.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

If this page says Aternos is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from up to 17 cities across three regions to find out where it breaks.

Aternos outage FAQ

What does Pending mean on Aternos?
Pending means the machine your server runs on cannot be reached, so your Minecraft server is almost certainly offline too. Aternos recovers it when the host returns, either by detecting it online again or by saving its files to storage. You do not need to contact support, because the team is notified automatically, and Aternos says it cannot predict how long recovery will take.
Should I press Cancel on a pending Aternos server?
Only if you accept losing progress. The Cancel button appears after 10 minutes in Pending and cannot be undone. Aternos says it often resets everything since the server was last started, and more can be lost depending on the fault. Waiting gives the best chance of keeping your world, and keeping backups, which you can make while the server is running, guards against hardware failure.
Why is my Aternos server stuck in a queue?
A queue means Aternos is at full capacity, not that it is down. Free servers start only as other players stop theirs, so you are shown a position and an estimated wait. Near the front a confirmation screen appears with a green button; if you do not click it you are removed and must start over, and the red stop button also gives up your place.
Is Aternos down for everyone or just me?
Check status.aternos.gmbh first: it tracks Website, Gameservers, Storage, Network and DNS, plus Aternos and its paid sister service exaroton. If those are green and your server shows Online but friends get a Connection reset error, a DNS server is usually caching an old address, since each start runs on a different machine. The DynIP under Connect skips DNS entirely.
How long do Aternos outages last?
It depends on the fault, and Aternos gives no estimate for Pending recovery. In May 2023 a power outage at its datacenter took down the website and game servers for about nine hours. The website came back first with many functions disabled, then server starts and file access returned, and some servers stayed Pending while recovery continued. Queue waits are separate and depend on demand.

How we measure this

  • We request Aternos's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them.
  • A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
  • A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
  • Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
  • Where Aternos publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
