Rent Hytale Server - Be Ready for the Adventure RPG of the Year
The Hytale release is coming! On January 13, 2026, the gates to Orbis open. Millions of players are counting down to launch day. Hypixel Studios - creators of the largest Minecraft server - spent over 7 years crafting this masterpiece. With RespawnHost, experience Hytale the way it's meant to be played: With friends on your own server, no compromises on performance. Pay only for the hours you actually play.
Perfect for launch: Test Hytale without monthly commitment. Don't like the game? Your remaining credit stays available for other games.
Hytale Launch 2026: Why Pay-as-you-go is Perfect
With a new game like Hytale, nobody knows in advance how many hours they'll actually invest. Maybe you'll play 8 hours daily in the first week, then only occasionally on weekends. Or you realize after a few days that the game isn't for you. With traditional hosters, you still pay the full monthly price - money you won't get back.
With RespawnHost's pay-as-you-go model, you take no risk. Top up credit, start your Hytale server, and only pay for the hours it's actually running. Turn off the server, and you pay nothing. Your remaining credit never expires and can be used anytime for other games like Minecraft, Rust, or Valheim.
This makes RespawnHost the ideal partner for the Hytale launch: Play intensively during the hype phase, scale down later as needed - without being tied to a contract. No cancellation periods, no hidden costs, maximum flexibility.
On January 13, 2026, tens of thousands of players will want to start their first Hytale server simultaneously. While other hosters drown in support tickets, you'll be online at RespawnHost in under 90 seconds. Our infrastructure is ready for the rush.
Prepare for Hytale Release: Your Launch Day Checklist
On release day, thousands will try to create servers simultaneously. With RespawnHost, you're online in under 90 seconds - while others are still waiting for support tickets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything about billing, tech, and how we operate.
Top Questions
You top up your balance and only pay when your server is actually running. Billing is absolutely fair and accurate to the second. If you stop the server, it costs you 0 € - your remaining balance stays safe.
We bill by the second. The cost depends on the package you chose. Once the server is stopped, billing stops immediately. You can check your current usage in the panel at any time.
We don't make empty promises with fake percentages. Tech can fail - but if it does, we’re on it immediately to fix it. We'll keep you posted via status updates.
We operate locations in Frankfurt (Germany) and Salt Lake City (USA). In Frankfurt, we rely on Dataforest for DDoS protection; in the USA, Path.net keeps you safe.
We use modern AMD Ryzenâ„¢ processors across the board. In our German data centers, we specifically use powerful Ryzenâ„¢ 9 CPUs to guarantee maximum performance.
Once created, your server is usually online in under 90 seconds. The initial installation of game files takes just another 1-3 minutes, depending on the game size.
Yes! We're prepared for the Hytale launch on January 13, 2026. Create your server in under 90 seconds as soon as the game is available. With our pay-as-you-go model, you only pay for the time you actually play - perfect for testing Hytale risk-free.
With new releases like Hytale, you don't know yet how often you'll play. Traditional hosters charge you a full month upfront - even if the game isn't for you. At RespawnHost, you top up credit and pay per-second only when your server runs. Don't like Hytale? Your remaining credit stays available for other games.
On launch day, interest is massive, but nobody knows how much they'll play long-term. With pay-as-you-go, you only pay for actual playtime. Test Hytale risk-free - if you don't like it, use your remaining credit for Minecraft, Rust, or 30+ other games.
Yes! Your credit isn't tied to any specific game. Start a Hytale server today, a Minecraft server tomorrow - all from the same balance. Perfect if you switch between games.
Your credit never expires. If the release is postponed, you can use it for other games or simply wait. No subscription trap, no time pressure.
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.
We accept Credit Card (Visa/Mastercard), PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, Revolut Pay, Amazon Pay, and EPS.
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: Dataforest filters traffic in Frankfurt (known for huge capacity), while we rely on Path.net's proven protection in the USA.
You can choose between Frankfurt (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.
Yes. Under 'Schedules', you can create tasks - whether for restarts, backups, or sending specific commands to the console automatically.
Support & Account
Discord is usually fastest. For confidential matters, please use the ticket system directly in the panel or send us an email.
On Discord, often within minutes. Tickets are usually answered within 24 hours, though complex bugs might take us a bit longer to solve properly.
Simple: Click your profile picture at the top, select 'My Servers', and then click on the server you want to manage.
