- Built to fit
Right-size your resources
Choose the memory and compute your players need today, then move to a larger plan as your world becomes more demanding.
Multiple plan sizes - Included essentials
Protected by default
DDoS protection, a free subdomain, and managed infrastructure are included, so you can focus on the world.
DDoS protection included - On-demand billing
Pay for active compute
Compute billing follows your server’s online time and stops at the selected plan’s predictable monthly maximum.
Predictable monthly compute cap
A real Minecraft server, with a €0 starting price.
Create a Java or Bedrock server without payment details. Your world stays saved, and you can move to a paid tier when your group needs more resources or always-on hosting.

Don't pay for an idle server.
Traditional hosts charge the full monthly price whether anyone plays or not. Paid compute here starts when your server comes online and stops when it goes offline.
Measured by the second
Paid compute is not rounded up to a full hour.
Offline means no compute charge
Your world stays saved for next time. Storage is billed separately.
Never exceed the monthly cap
Play more than expected and compute stops at the plan's monthly maximum.
Play 4 hours a day, 5 days a week
That's about 87 running hours a month—not 730 hours of round-the-clock hosting.

Online time is billed at the on-demand rate until compute charges reach the plan's monthly cap. After that, you can keep the server online for the rest of the calendar month without additional compute charges. Storage and optional backups are billed separately.
Storage is billed separately because your world must remain saved even while the server is offline.
Usage is measured in MB-hours and billed daily. A full month of 1 GB of storage typically costs about 10 credits; the exact amount varies slightly with the length of the calendar month.
Storage includes seven daily backups at no additional charge.
Paid plans include seven daily backups as part of the storage price.
Additional backup storage is optional and billed daily from average usage. A full month typically costs about 2 credits per GB, with small variations based on the number of days in the month.
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade between paid plans at any time, so you can add resources for a growing world or reduce them later. Moving from a paid plan back to the free tier is not currently supported.
It is not a trial. Your free server stays free, and you can upgrade when you need more resources or paid-plan features.
Both Minecraft Java Edition and Minecraft Bedrock Edition servers are supported.
Yes. Paid plans support 24/7 uptime. You can also stop the server when nobody is playing to reduce compute charges without losing your world.
There is no player-count limit. Minecraft defaults to 20 player slots, but you can configure a higher value. Each plan's advertised player count is only a recommendation: realistic capacity depends on the server software, mods, plugins and other customization, player activity, and whether players stay close together or spread out.
Minecraft servers are currently available in Europe, North America, Singapore, and Australia. Choose the location closest to most of your players for the best latency.
