How it works

From clicking to running in under a minute

No queue, no setup wizard, no waiting for somebody to approve you.

The whole process, up front. Every step below is exactly what happens when you start a server, no surprises hiding behind a checkout. Discord bots work this way today; Minecraft servers will when they open.

The steps

Choose a plan

Pick roughly the size you need. Nothing is built until the payment goes through, and you can move up later without losing anything.

Your server gets built

Your own space on the machine, with your own filesystem and your plan's limits enforced on it. Nobody, including you, can exceed theirs.

under a minute

We put a fence around it

It cannot send email, reach the machine underneath, or touch anyone else's server. Where each server connects out to is recorded, so complaints are answerable.

Your software installs

We install the version you picked — a game server and its world, or your bot and its dependencies. You watch it happen in the console, with no spinner hiding whether it worked.

You get the keys

An address to share, a console to type into, and a file manager. Add plugins, deploy code, change settings, upload a world you already built.

Backups just happen

Everything you have is copied every day and the last three days are kept. Putting one back is a single click, which you will be glad of eventually.

Under the hood

What your traffic touches

Traffic reaches an address, that address reaches our machine, and what you run is walled off from every other tenant on it.

1 · Someone connects

Players use a normal address, and a bot reaches Discord the same way it always would. Nothing in between rewrites it or slows it down: a bot is an ordinary program talking to Discord, and a game server is an ordinary game server.

2 · Attacks filtered

Traffic crosses our host's network first, which drops floods aimed at knocking your server offline before they ever reach the machine.

3 · Your server

It arrives at your server and nowhere else. The servers either side of yours are sealed off, with no way to reach each other.

What this means for you: your server cannot see anyone else's and nobody else's can see yours, and a booter aimed at your address hits our host's filtering rather than you. That is how it works on every plan.

Upgrading keeps everything

Changing plan just lifts the limits on the server you already have. Your files, settings and address all stay exactly as they were. Nothing to download, nothing to re-upload, no new address to send round.

Napping and waking

A server can be set to stop when the last person leaves and start again when someone tries to join, taking a few seconds. It is off by default and every plan runs around the clock unless you ask for it. Either way nothing is ever deleted.

That is the whole process

No sales call, no onboarding queue. Pick a plan and it exists.
