Topping up
Card, PayPal, crypto, or bank transfer - minimum top-up is €2.50. Crypto top-ups are handled with as little personal data as possible: we don't send the payment provider your name or email, only a payment reference.
How billing works
Servers accrue cost against your balance on the billing cycle you pick. Longer cycles are cheaper - you can choose:
- Hourly - pay as you go, no discount.
- Weekly - 5% off.
- Monthly - 10% off.
- Yearly - 20% off.
Whatever the cycle, the same timeline applies when your balance can't cover what's due: you get a warning 72 hours before the due date. If it's still unpaid when it's due, the service is suspended - switched off, not deleted. You then have another 72 hours to top up and bring it back; after that, it's permanently deleted. The low-balance email below is your heads-up to top up before any of that happens.
Email settings
Four email toggles live on your profile:
| Setting | Sends you an email when… | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Login alerts | your account signs in from a new device or IP | On |
| Payment & order confirmations | a top-up or purchase goes through | On |
| Suspension notices | a service is about to be, or has been, suspended for non-payment | On |
| Low balance warnings | your balance is projected to run out soon | On |
Turn any of them off from your profile if you'd rather just watch the in-panel warnings instead. Security, deletion, and cancellation emails always send regardless - those aren't optional.
Invoices
Every purchase generates an invoice automatically, downloadable as a PDF from your billing page any time.
Vouchers
Two kinds: a balance voucher adds bonus credit on your next top-up, a discount voucher takes a percentage off a specific order. Each is single-use per account.
Student discount
Verify a student email from your profile (we send a one-time code to confirm it), and you get 20% off the first month of every game server you create.
