Getting Started

Run a game server when your group wants to play, without a monthly subscription. Add prepaid Credits, choose a configuration, and use Stop when you finish.

Start here

  1. Understand the cost. Read How Pay-As-You-Go Works.
  2. Set up your account. Sign in and check your Wallet Currency.
  3. Add credit. Buy Credits to cover the displayed first-hour rate.
  4. Create and join. Follow Your First Server alongside the relevant game guide.
  5. Manage your session. Use the Console and server page to monitor the server and stop it afterward.

What you pay for

Review the hourly rate before submitting a configuration. A funded creation charges one full hour upfront; subsequent hours are charged as that server's paid time runs out.

Stopping pauses billing and preserves unused Banked Hour time for the same server. Leaving the game or closing your browser does not stop the server. Wait for Stopped to confirm the session has ended.

Your servers use one Credit Balance, but each keeps its own paid-time countdown. If the balance cannot cover a required hourly charge, the affected server stops rather than taking your balance below zero.
