Plans and pricing

Pay for hardware, not for features

Every plan gets the same Ryzen 9 bare metal, the same DDoS protection and the same tooling. The only thing that changes is how much of the node is yours.

Not sure which?

Answer three questions, get an honest answer

This recommends the smallest plan that will actually cope. Upgrading later is prorated and instant, so there is no reason to over-buy up front.

How demanding is the game you want to run?

Engine and tick cost matter far more than player count for most titles.

How many players at your busiest hour?

Be honest about the peak, not the average - the peak is what breaks.

How much are you modding it?

Overhaul packs can multiply memory use several times over.

Our recommendation

— $/mo

This is the smallest plan we would expect to cope with what you described. If it turns out to be tight, upgrading is prorated and takes one restart — and if we got it wrong, the 72-hour refund still applies.

FAQ

Questions we get
every single day

Still stuck? Our team answers tickets in about 8 minutes, 24/7/365.

Pick based on the game rather than the player count. Valheim, Terraria and Zomboid are comfortable on Outpost. Rust, ARK, 7 Days to Die and modded Minecraft want Stronghold. Take Citadel if you are running an ARK cluster, a Minecraft network, or a Rust server above 200 slots.

Every price shown is the monthly equivalent. Choosing a longer billing cycle lowers that monthly figure - you are charged for the whole term up front and the discount is already reflected in the price.

Never, on any plan. What you see is what you pay, and there is no minimum term.

Yes, at any time from the client area. We prorate the difference against your current term and apply the change on the next restart. Your world, mods and configuration are untouched.

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay and major cryptocurrencies. Invoices are issued through our billing system and you can download them any time.

Full refund within 72 hours of your first payment, no questions asked. After that you can cancel any time and the server runs to the end of the paid term.

Ready when you are

Your server could be running before you finish this sentence.

Pick a game, pick a region, pick your slots. We handle the rest - and if it is not right within 72 hours, you get your money back.
