Create a server

The create flow asks for the game, region, plan, name, address, and billing cycle. Each choice affects what we can place and what you pay for.

Quick answer

Pick what you want to play first. The selected pack sets the minimum RAM, then the friend-count picker can only recommend a larger plan.

Before checkout

  1. Pick what you are playing. Vanilla and supported server software can be selected directly when active. Featured packs may appear as inactive or request-only until they pass smoke testing.
  2. Choose a region. Germany is live. US is a waitlist capture until the region is enabled.
  3. Pick a plan. Plans are the machines you rent. RAM, storage, region, and address stay tied to that machine.
  4. Name the server. This is just the label in the dashboard. It can be changed later.
  5. Choose an address. The subdomain is checked as you type. If it is taken, choose another before continuing.
  6. Choose monthly or annual billing. Annual billing is priced as ten months. You can still manage the subscription from Billing.

How plan recommendations work

The pack or server type sets the floor. If a pack needs 8 GB RAM, the recommender will not suggest a 4 GB or 6 GB plan. The friend-count buttons only scale the recommendation upward from that floor.

A disabled plan usually means one of two things: it does not meet the selected pack's minimum RAM, or the fleet cannot place that SKU in the selected region right now.

Requesting a custom modpack

Pasting a CurseForge URL creates a request. It does not start checkout, import files, or auto-provision a server. We review packs and only activate ones with a server-distributable file.

After payment

  1. The server record is created and your address is reserved.
  2. Provisioning installs the selected game or server software.
  3. The status page updates through the setup steps. You can leave the page and come back.
  4. When setup completes, the Overview shows connection details and controls.

First 10 minute checklist

  • Copy the Java Edition address from Overview or Network.
  • Create a backup before changing worlds, files, or add-ons.
  • Use Players to whitelist friends if you run a whitelist.
  • Use Console for commands and logs if something fails to start.
