Transparent game server hosting: every plan ships with traffic, backups, DDoS protection, mods and sub-users included, no upsell ladder. The price depends only on the game and how much headroom you want.
Choose your game, the tier with the headroom you want, and how you want to pay.
Stripe-secured checkout. The exact total, VAT included, is shown before you pay.
Your server spins up automatically, usually under ninety seconds.
Share the address, add sub-users with precise permissions, and you're live.
Nothing to install, nothing to configure. Just play.
Choose the billing model that fits how long you want to play. You pick it when you order, every tier is priced for all three.
A subscription billed every month, the cheapest way to run a server. Cancel any time from the dashboard; switch to a bigger or smaller tier whenever you need to.
One pre-paid payment for three months at a discount, with no auto-renewal. Ideal for a season you know you will play through.
One pre-paid payment for a 30-day run, with no renewal. Great for a one-off event, a LAN weekend, or trying a game out.
The things some hosts charge extra for are standard here. The only thing that changes between tiers is the headroom.
No bandwidth caps and no overage fees, ever.
Create, download and restore backups yourself from the dashboard.
Always-on, network-level protection on every plan.
Upload your own server JAR or modpack archive, no add-on fee.

"Typical host" reflects common practice across mainstream game-server hosts, specifics vary by provider and plan.
More in the full FAQ, these are the ones about paying.
Yes, start a free trial. Spin up a real server with no card and no charge, test the setup speed, the dashboard and inviting a friend, and only pay if you want to keep it. Like what you built? One payment keeps that exact server, your world carries straight over, nothing is wiped. Look for the “Start a free trial” button on any game page.
A monthly plan is a subscription, the cheapest way to run, billed each month, cancel any time. Quarterly is a single pre-paid payment for three months at a discount, with no auto-renewal. One-time is a single pre-paid payment for 30 days, also with no renewal. Pick whichever suits how long you want to play.
On a monthly subscription you can switch to a bigger or smaller tier from your dashboard at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately and are pro-rated on your next invoice; downgrades apply from your next renewal. One-time and quarterly purchases are fixed for their term.
No. No setup fee, no migration fee, and no traffic-overage fees, traffic is unmetered. Any optional add-on is priced clearly on the product page before you buy.
iDEAL, credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), Bancontact and Google Pay. Monthly subscriptions can also pay by SEPA Direct Debit. Everything is billed in euros, and the exact total is shown before you pay.
Yes, the VAT-inclusive total is shown before you pay. If you're an EU business with a valid VAT number, add it to your billing details and we apply the reverse-charge mechanism (0% VAT), which is reflected on your invoice.
Sometimes, we run the occasional campaign, so it's worth watching for a code. Enter it at checkout. One promo applies per order, and a promo code can't be combined with account points on the same order.
