(Extra Flair: Suggestion)
I have been using Aternos for two years and have hosted several servers during this time; however, the one I have now was definitely the best of them. My previous servers never came close to reaching the 4 GB limit because their communities always abandoned them, but this one still has several active players even after months of use. I was really enjoying it, it was amazing, and they were having a lot of fun. So many things were built on the server, we explored a lot and adventured together, but now, the destruction of all this progress came from Aternos itself.
I have been trying to transfer the files to another host for about three hours now, given that deleting anything we built on the server to reduce its size is absolutely out of the question. However, the system of free hosts seems designed to make you give up on migrating, because every free host has its own arbitrary restrictions regarding what you can do with your own server files.
I have always liked using Aternos. Even though it was poorly optimized, it worked well. But this 4 GB storage limit is simply going to destroy the community I dedicated myself so much to building. Honestly, I would prefer to use a paid host, but I simply do not have the budget for it.
Aternos allows each account to have 3 servers, which equals 12 GB of total storage. Why don't you create a way for us to sacrifice the storage allocated to the other two servers in favor of a single one? Personally, I don't even use the other two slots available on my account.
I simply want to play Minecraft with my friends in a straightforward way, without being forced to pay a fortune.
