History

The history of Idle Development

2018
Idle Development is founded
Idle Development was co-founded by Floffah, Triassic and Husnain. The team began by building automated tools, Discord bots and casual clicker-style games.
Growing team
New members join
Reverso joined later, followed by Aigars, and then Yigit of Skyfallen.
2019
JeekieHost acquired
Idle Development acquired the hosting brand JeekieHost.
Early days
Sponsored by FalixNodes
In its early days the team was sponsored by FalixNodes, a well-known game server host.
May 2020
Idley Host launches
Idley Host opened as an extension of Idle Development, offering free, 24/7 Minecraft and Discord bot hosting, with Idley Pro as its premium tier. It grew quickly and became known for reliable game speeds.
Late 2020
First shutdown
Demand outgrew the infrastructure. With heavy server costs, DDoS attacks and little income, the team suspended Idley Host. JeekieHost closed during this first closure.
Early 2021
Idley Host re-opens
The team restructured and re-opened Idley Host, looking for more sustainable infrastructure.
Alongside
Idle Bee Farm
Idle Bee Farm ran as a community project from the team.
Late 2021
Final closure
Free hosting stayed too costly to sustain, and Idley Host closed for good. Idley Pro was migrated to Skyfallen Cloud. Skyfallen has since shut down and no longer exists.
Today
A legacy
Idle Development is retired and its members moved on to other work. This page is what remains.

Our site in early 2021 reported around 7,500 Discord members, 7 projects and over 10,500 servers hosted.
