outgrowing a game server?

Move to a Dedicated Server.

When XX-Large stops cutting it — or you want multiple game servers under one roof — Dedicated Servers give you a whole machine. Same dashboard, same mod support, full-machine isolation. See the full Dedicated Servers pricing page for the tier matrix and interactive estimator.

versus everyone else

Why our pricing reads differently.

Most hosts hide player caps, DDoS billing, and SLA tiers in the fine print. Ours is on the tier card.

questions

Before you deploy.

Can I change plans later?
Yes — upgrade in the dashboard any time and you only pay the price difference. Downgrade and we credit the unused portion back to your account.
What does Basic Support include?
Every customer gets live chat, ticket submission, and our community Discord. Basic Support means best-effort response with no guaranteed SLA — paid Standard/Premium tiers jump the queue.
What's the difference between Standard and Premium SSD tiers?
Same CPU and RAM — different storage. Standard uses iSCSI-backed HDD with redundancy; Premium uses NVMe SSD with redundancy. SSD pays off most for world saves, mod startup, and backup restores.
Is there really a free tier?
Yes. The Free tier is a real server on real hardware — no credit card required. It's sized for 5-10 player friend groups; upgrade when you outgrow it.
Do prices include DDoS protection?
Yes. Network-edge DDoS mitigation is included on every tier — Free through XX-Large — with no per-incident billing.
How does the 72-hour refund work?
72-hour refund window on the first month of any paid tier. Reach out via Support or Discord and we’ll process it — no sales-retention gauntlet, no hold music. Free tier servers don’t need a refund (there’s nothing to refund).
How does billing cycle pricing work?
Available cycles: monthly billing plan, yearly billing plan (2 mo free). Cancel or downgrade any time — we credit unused periods back.
When should I move to a Dedicated Server?
Two triggers: (1) XX-Large isn't cutting it for one server, or (2) you want to host multiple game servers on one bill. Dedicated gets you a whole machine with white-glove onboarding.
Can I install mods and plugins?
Yes, with mod support varying by title. Minecraft supports Paper, Fabric, NeoForge, and vanilla out of the box. Arma 3 and Arma Reforger have Workshop-driven mod management; Project Zomboid uses a config-driven Workshop integration. Games that load mods from disk — such as Valheim, Palworld, and 7 Days to Die — can be modded by sideloading files via the optional FTP add-on. Other titles may not expose a documented modding path.
Can I pay with crypto / wire / invoice?
Today: PayPal and major credit cards. Crypto and invoicing are roadmap. For wire or invoice terms over ~$500/mo, contact us directly.
Do I own my data?
Yes. World saves, mod configs, backups — everything is yours. You can pull your files off a running server at any time through the optional FTP add-on, and our support team can assist with a packaged copy on request before you cancel. Delete service from the dashboard and your data is purged from our storage within 14 days.
Can I talk to an engineer before I buy?
Absolutely — every sales conversation is with an engineer, not a salesperson. Hit the Contact button, tell us what you're planning, and we'll spec it with you.
