| Files & console | Full file manager and live console, every plan | Often limited, or FTP-only |
| Backups | One click, whenever you want | Often a paid add-on or fixed times |

| Changing plan | One click from your dashboard | Often a manual transfer |

Hosting Romestead with friends
Romestead is a co-op survival sandbox: you and up to eight friends build a Roman homestead together, clear the land, farm, craft, and grow a settlement from a single hut into a thriving village. A dedicated server keeps that settlement online around the clock, so your fields, your buildings and your progress are always there, even when you're offline, and nobody has to host from their own PC.
When you create your server you set the rules yourself: a max player count from 1 to 16 (Romestead plays best with 1-8 sharing one settlement), an optional password so only your group can join (leave it blank for an open server), and a name for your world. At first launch the server generates your world in one of three sizes, Small, Standard or Large. Bigger worlds need more memory, so Small and Standard run on every plan while Large unlocks on Settlement (8 GB) and Frontier (12 GB). Outgrow your plan later and you upgrade in one click, no manual transfer.
You stay in control from a simple dashboard. A built-in file manager lets you browse, edit, upload and download files, and unzip archives in place, with no FTP client. A live console streams your server in real time and lets you type server commands straight in the browser. Add friends as helpers with their own login and limited permissions, and take a one-click backup any time so any mistake can be undone.
Not sure yet? Try Romestead free with no payment method, a 4-hour trial spins up a real server with the full dashboard. If you keep it, your world carries straight over to a paid plan. Plans start at €7,99/month, with no setup fee and no contract. Everything runs on our servers in Europe, for a fast, stable connection across Germany, the Benelux, the Nordics and the rest of Western Europe.
