Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about billing, storage, uptime, and global regions. If it matters to your world, it is covered here.
Usage-based pricing
Pay only while your server is online.
Monthly price cap
Predictable billing with a hard ceiling.
Storage + backups
Daily backups included with storage.
You’re billed at the on‑demand rate whenever your server is online, up to the monthly plan limit. Once you reach that cap, no further charges apply for the rest of the calendar month, regardless of usage. Please note that storage and backups are billed separately.
Servers are only billed while online, so storage is charged separately to account for ongoing data retention.
Storage is billed daily based on your average usage, measured in MB/hour. The typical cost is approximately 10 credits per GB per month, based on a 730.5-hour month. Actual costs may vary depending on the number of hours in each calendar month.
This storage fee includes 7 daily backups at no additional cost—giving you peace of mind and reliable protection.
All paid plans includes 7 daily backups at no extra charge—these are covered by your storage costs.
If you opt for additional backups, they’re billed daily based on your average usage, measured in MB/hour. The typical cost is around 2 credits per GB per month, assuming a 730.5-hour month. Actual costs may vary slightly depending on the number of hours in each calendar month.
Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time, including switching between paid tiers. However, please note that downgrading from a paid tier to the free tier is not supported.
No trial here—your free server stays free. Upgrade anytime, or never at all.
We support both Minecraft Java Edition and Minecraft Bedrock Edition servers. However, auto-start on player connect is currently only available for Java Edition. For Bedrock servers, you’ll need to start the server manually from your dashboard.
Paid plans offer 24/7 uptime, but our on-demand pricing helps you save by only running the server when it's needed.
We don’t cap the number of players on your server, so you’re free to invite as many friends as you like. While Minecraft servers default to a 20-player limit, you can easily adjust this in your server configuration to suit your needs.
Our servers are currently hosted in Europe, North America, Singapore and Australia, ensuring fast and reliable access across major regions.
