The new desert map brings sandstorms, motorbikes and houses you can rebuild. Your server installs update 1.30 automatically on the next restart.

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 86% cheaper!
From about 9.0 hours a day our prepaid 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 prepaid 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 0.0166 € – with 3h playtime daily (~90h/month).
Reference price: €11.00 (4 GB, monthly, BisectHosting, as of July 2026)
Prepaid plan or pay-as-you-go – you decide
Pick the billing model that fits you for every server. Predictable prepaid plans with volume discounts, or full flexibility billed by the second.
Prepaid
Term of 30, 90 or 180 days
Predictable flat price with a volume discount – ideal when your server runs around the clock.

Pay-Per-Use
Billed by the second
Pay only while your server is running. Perfect for short sessions and events.

What Customers Say About RespawnHost

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.

Server & Tech
We use different partners by location: Premium Gaming DDoS Protection in Germany, Path in Salt Lake City, Segra DDoS Protection in Charlotte, and Cloudflare Magic Transit in Noida.
Choose between Germany (EU), Salt Lake City, UT (US West), Charlotte, NC (US East), and Noida (India). In Germany we use maincubes in Frankfurt and OVH in Limburg, Fiberstate in Salt Lake City, Segra CLT2 via iWebFusion in Charlotte, and Web Werks NCR 2 in Noida. Select your region when creating the server. In Charlotte we use Segra DDoS Protection against volumetric network attacks, in Noida Cloudflare Magic Transit.
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.
