Pricing model
Game servers at game-serverhosting start from 2.69 EUR per month – for example Minecraft from 3.08 EUR, Rust from 22.05 EUR, CS2 from 8.92 EUR, Valheim from 6.32 EUR and Palworld from 6.78 EUR. Depending on the game, billing is RAM- or slot-based; the configurator shows the final price before purchase.
game-serverhosting prices game servers by RAM or slots, depending on the game. Plans start at 2.69 EUR per month, including Minecraft from 3.08 EUR, Rust from 22.05 EUR, CS2 from 8.92 EUR, Valheim from 6.32 EUR and Palworld from 6.78 EUR. The configurator displays the final price before checkout. A one-month booking is a recurring monthly subscription with no long-term minimum; automatic renewal is enabled by default and can be disabled. The custom subdomain, web panel, console, file access, manual backups and configurable backup schedules are included. Every server includes automatic network-level DDoS protection from the data center. Automatic setup starts after successful payment. Each game shows its estimated setup time. Large downloads, additional setup steps or queues can extend provisioning. Competitor prices in comparison tables were verified on 31.07.2026 and come from public provider pages. They are a documented selection, not a complete market comparison. Promotions and provider prices may change; the configurator remains the source of truth for the selected game, resources and term.
Extra core (+1 vCPU)
If your plan's CPU limit isn't enough, you can add extra cores in the panel – +1 vCPU each for 2.99 € per month.
You can choose extra cores right when you order, or add them later in the panel.
Available for Minecraft Java (including Paper, Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and modpacks), Folia and Palworld – not for Minecraft Bedrock.
When does an extra core help?
Every plan includes a CPU limit in vCPU that scales with RAM. An extra core raises it by 1 vCPU – that is 100% additional compute time of one logical processor core. The hardware is shared; it is not an exclusively reserved core.
Helps if …
- your server is being throttled by its CPU limit – we measure this for your server in the panel,
- work is running on additional threads alongside the game: pre-generating the world (e.g. Chunky), rendering maps (e.g. BlueMap, Dynmap), loading and generating chunks, garbage collection,
- mods or plugins use their own threads, or you run Folia, which distributes the world across multiple cores.
Does not help if …
- the game's main thread is maxed out: Minecraft calculates ticks, mobs, redstone and farms on a single thread – more cores will not make it faster,
- your server never reaches its CPU limit – in that case it is not lacking compute time,
- the bottleneck is memory, the connection, or a single plugin or mod.
Try these for free first
- Lower the view distance and simulation distance, pre-generate the world once, use performance mods like Lithium and FerriteCore (Fabric) or ModernFix (Forge/NeoForge), and check with spark what is taking up time.
- Limit the number of players and the number of simultaneously active Pals at bases – fewer bases and fewer Pals per base take load off the server.
Available for Minecraft Java (including Paper, Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and modpacks), Folia and Palworld – not for Minecraft Bedrock.
2.99 € per extra core per month, charged pro rata until the end of the current billing period, cancellable at the end of the period.

Pricing FAQ
Affordable game servers from 2.69 EUR/month
You get high-performance game servers at a fair price. Our pricing model depends on the game: most are billed by RAM, some by slots. The configurator shows the price before checkout.
- Minecraft from 3.08 EUR/month (2 GB RAM)
- Valheim from 6.32 EUR/month (4 GB RAM)
- Up to 20% discount on 12-month terms
- Cancel monthly with no long-term minimum
Game server hosting in Germany & France
Our servers run in German and French data centres — you choose the location at checkout. Excellent connectivity and low latency for you and your players.
- partner data centres in Germany and France
- NVMe SSD storage for fast load times
- Data-center DDoS protection included at every location
- Game servers in Germany or France (your choice) – all processing locations are listed in the privacy policy
Why we are not the very cheapest host
There are offers below our entry price. The difference is in the fine print: slot caps, budget plans with nobody to talk to, servers with no headroom. Our entry tier is priced to just cover its cost – not below it. In return you get what a server needs to actually play on:
- No slot limit on RAM plans – you pay for memory, not per player
- Booked RAM is real memory – no swap, nothing paged out to disk
- Support from the people who run the servers – tickets do not sit in a queue
- Prepay and save up to 20% – monthly plans stay cancellable any time
Ready to get started?
After successful payment, automatic setup begins. The estimated duration is shown for each game. Large downloads, additional setup steps, or wait times can extend deployment. Cancel monthly.
