Frequently Asked Questions
Everything about billing, tech, and how we operate.
Top Questions
Pricing & Billing
You can do this directly in the panel under 'Balance'. Just choose your amount (starting at 5 €) and your payment method. Credits are added instantly.
No, no lock-in contracts here. You top up and use it when you want. No subscriptions, and your balance doesn't expire.

Sure. When you stop the server, you stop paying for runtime. Your data stays safely stored.
Server & Tech
Depending on the location, we use specialized partners: Packets-Decreaser.NET filters traffic in Germany (known for huge capacity), while we rely on Packets-Decreaser.NET's proven protection in the USA.
You can choose between Germany (First Colo uplink) and Salt Lake City (Fiberstate). Just select your preferred location when creating the server.
That totally depends on the game. For Minecraft, we offer solutions like GeyserMC (Java + Bedrock). For other titles, we support whatever crossplay features the game offers natively.
We’ve pre-configured our packages based on extensive testing to fit different scenarios. Check the descriptions when selecting a plan - you’ll find the right fit for your project there.
Management & Features
For many games, we offer integrated mod installers (e.g., via CurseForge/Modrinth) or support Steam Workshop downloads directly in the panel. Of course, you can also upload files via SFTP.
You can set up automatic backups on your own schedule. Good to know: If your server is inactive for 14 days, we automatically convert it into a backup to save resources. Backups cost a fair 0.10 € per GB/month.
Yes, we have a full-featured file manager in the web interface. However, for larger data transfers, we always recommend using SFTP.
