What is checked before purchase?
We analyze the game, world, settings, and available mod and plugin files. This shows which data can technically be transferred before you order.
Migrate your game server and switch hosts
Move your world, mods, and settings from your current host to game-serverhosting. We inspect accessible server files before you order.
Before you import
- File inspection before checkout: €0.00
- Free transfer scope: Minecraft up to 5 GB
- Technical archive limit: 10 GB
- SFTP credentials: encrypted in a separate vault and automatically deleted after 24 hours
The free Minecraft scope excludes proprietary or unsupported loaders and Minecraft versions we do not offer. The configurator shows the target server price before purchase.
How does switching game-server hosts work?
The migration service helps you move an existing game server to game-serverhosting without rebuilding the world, mods, and settings. Before checkout, we analyze accessible server files and show what can be transferred. The actual transfer starts only after you configure and pay for the target server.
Depending on the current provider, inspection uses SFTP, a download URL, or a server archive. The configurator shows resources and the final monthly price before purchase. The wizard states whether migration is included for free and which size limit applies to the selected game. The subscription has no long-term minimum and renews automatically by default; renewal can be disabled. After successful provisioning, we transfer the inspected world, configuration, mod, and plugin files. Larger Steam installations or archives can take longer. Keep a current backup at the old host and cancel there only after you have joined the new server and verified the world state.
