Real-world example: A Minecraft modpack server (ATM, Better MC)
Typical playtime: two 3-hour sessions per week (~26 hours per month).
With BisectHosting (Premium 6 GB)
~$18.00 / month
Billed 24/7 for 730 monthly hours, even when players are asleep or at work.
With TickServ (8 GB RAM, unlimited modpacks)
~€0.78 / month
You only pay for the 26 hours actually played at €0.03/h. Savings: over $17 every month.
Example: Enshrouded 1.0, a game you play in seasons
Three weeks of 1.0 at 10 h a week is 30 h of play: €1.80 on a 16 GB Enshrouded server (€0.06/h). Then the break: €0 through the months without a game, and your world is kept. A subscription keeps running during the break.
