Minecraft, Valheim, Palworld, Factorio, Project Zomboid, Core Keeper, Terraria, Minecraft Bedrock, OpenTTD, Avorion, Necesse, Enshrouded, Barotrauma, Vintage Story, Rust, Satisfactory, 7 Days to Die, Icarus, Sons of the Forest, Mindustry, Unturned, The Forest, Veloren, Mordhau, Holdfast, Xonotic, OpenRA and DDNet: ready in minutes, billed by the started hour. Your world is kept between sessions. Ready in minutes · stop in one click · first hour of play free, no card required ## FAQ ### How much does it cost? You only pay for the hours your server runs, by the started hour, from €0.02/h (4 GB, Eco) to €0.26/h (32 GB, Dedicated CPU): the price follows the RAM and the performance level, not the game. No subscription, no commitment — you top up a wallet and spend as you go. ### How does the free first hour work? You create your account, create your server, start it: the first hour of play is not billed. No bank card is asked for and there is nothing to claim — the hour is deducted automatically on the first charge, and you see it on your statement. It applies on eco up to one size above the one recommended for the game (the form's default choice), and on dedicated CPU up to the recommended dedicated size: beyond that it is lost, and the form tells you before you confirm. One free hour per account, for accounts created from the day the offer opened. After that, you only pay for the hours your server actually runs. ### What happens to my world when the server stops? It's saved automatically on every shutdown and restored on the next start. You pick up your game exactly where you left off. Keeping it is free; after 6 months without playing, we email you twice before freeing the space. An account that has never topped up keeps its world for 30 days, with the same reminders. ### Can I stop whenever I want? Yes, in one click. And if nobody's playing, the server stops on its own after 15 minutes. Since every started hour is charged in full, it's best to stop it yourself once you're done — that's what the stop button is for. Restarting within the hour you just paid for does not bill it again. ### How long does it take to start? A few minutes: we provision a dedicated machine, restore your world and launch the game. You get the connection address as soon as it's ready. This startup time is not billed: the first hour starts when the server is ready. And if it fails to start, you pay nothing. ### Which games are available? Minecraft, Valheim, Palworld, Factorio, Project Zomboid, Core Keeper, Terraria, Minecraft Bedrock, OpenTTD, Avorion, Necesse, Enshrouded, Barotrauma, Vintage Story, Rust, Satisfactory, 7 Days to Die, Icarus, Sons of the Forest, Mindustry, Unturned, The Forest, Veloren, Mordhau, Holdfast, Xonotic, OpenRA and DDNet.
