Getting Started

HourlyGameServer.com lets you run game servers by the hour without a monthly subscription. Add Credits, create a server, and stop it when you are finished playing.

Start here

  1. Learn how pay-as-you-go works.
  2. Sign in and create your account.
  3. Buy Credits.
  4. Create your first server.
  5. Use the Console to connect, monitor, and manage it.

What you pay for

Each server has an hourly rate shown before you create it. The first hour is charged upfront. While the server runs, another hour is charged when its Banked Hour reaches zero.

Stopping pauses billing. Any unused time from the paid hour remains with that server and is available when you start it again. Your Credit Balance never goes below zero; if there are not enough Credits for the next charge, the server stops.
