Rent Game Servers with Pay-Per-Use - Only Pay When You Play
How Pay-Per-Use Works
Only pay when your server is running - no hidden costs, no subscription.
Top up credit
Flexibly add credit - from €5, no subscription.
Start server
You only pay while your server is running.
Stop server
€0.00/hour - credit stays intact!
You pay by the second.
Drag the slider to your daily gaming hours - and watch your real monthly cost change live.
Monthly Flat Rate
Whether you play or not - you always pay the full price.
Pay-Per-Use
With ~90h playtime/month
Your savings in this example
up to 76% cheaper!
From about 9.0 hours a day our fixed plan is cheaper — and that is exactly what we recommend then.
Pay-Per-Use has a higher hourly rate because we reserve capacity for you permanently, without knowing when you will need it. That flexibility carries a surcharge. In return you pay €0.00 the moment the server is off. If you play around the clock, the fixed plan serves you better — we would rather tell you upfront than send you a bill you did not expect.
At your playtime, Pay-Per-Use is the cheaper option.
Example calculation: 11.00 €/month is a typical 24/7 flat rate at other hosts for a comparable game server. Our pay-per-use hourly rate (Minecraft example) is 0.0296 € – with 3h playtime daily (~90h/month).
Reference price: €11.00 (4 GB, monthly, BisectHosting, as of July 2026)
Fixed plan or pay-as-you-go – you decide
Pick the billing model that fits you for every server. Predictable fixed plans with volume discounts, or full flexibility billed by the second.
Fixed Plan
Term of 30, 90 or 180 days
Predictable flat price with a volume discount – ideal when your server runs around the clock.
- Up to 5% volume discount
- Fully predictable costs, no surprises
- Cancel anytime – runs until period end
Pay-Per-Use
Billed by the second
Pay only while your server is running. Perfect for short sessions and events.
- Only pay while the server runs
- Start and stop anytime

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.
We accept e.g. PayPal, Apple Pay, SEPA and more.
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: PletX & OVH filters traffic in Germany (known for huge capacity), while we rely on Path'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. If your server is inactive for 30 days, we automatically convert it into a free backup. Backups are completely free and never deleted.
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.
