Servers stop, billing stops — no idle bill
How it works
No monthly plan, no fixed fee. Your bill follows what the server actually does.
While the server runs, compute is metered continuously against your credit balance. The rate depends only on the RAM you picked.
Stop the server — or let idle auto-stop do it when everyone leaves — and the compute meter stops with it. No burning money overnight.
Storage is billed separately so a stopped server never loses its world. The first 10 GB of disk are free; space above that costs €0.10 per GB per month.
Every server has a monthly compute cost cap. Even if it runs 24/7 all month, compute charges stop at the cap — the worst case is a known number, not a surprise.
Pricing
One rate at any size: 5 credits per GB of RAM per hour, billed by the minute and only while the server runs. The first 10 GB of storage are free; extra storage is €0.10/GB per month.
Paper with a plugin stack, or a lighter Fabric pack.
40 credits / hr
≈ €2.40 runtime + €0.00 disk = €2.40 a month at 2 h/day.
Compute is capped at €20.00/month at this size — leave it running nonstop and you'll never pay more.
Idle auto-stop puts the server to sleep when nobody is playing, and wake-on-join starts it again when someone connects. You pay for the hours in between.
The machine underneath
Not a cloud VM that gets sliced thinner every quarter. One machine we own and operate, in the EU, with your RAM fenced off from everyone else's.
Your world runs on an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X we own. The RAM you pick is a hard container limit — nothing else on the machine can take it.
Fast NVMe storage with a hard per-server quota, so a neighbour filling their disk can never fill yours.
Compute and live worlds stay in the EU. Backups are stored separately in Hetzner Object Storage in Falkenstein, Germany.
Every server gets its own yourname.voxel.run, with an A record and a Minecraft SRV record. Your friends type one name, even when the port isn't 25565.
Basic DDoS protection at the network level.
What's included
No paid add-ons for the basics. Every server gets the full toolbox.
Pick your server software in the wizard, or install a modpack with one click — we deploy the correct server pack for you.
Web file manager with editor, plus SFTP for big uploads. Your world and configs are yours to touch — even while the server is stopped.
Manual and scheduled backups with one-click restore, stored off the host machine. Pin the ones that matter.
Real console with RCON, searchable log history, and log access that works even when the server is stopped.
Every server gets its own permanent hostname — share it once and it keeps working across restarts.
Invite friends with granular permissions — console, files, power — while billing and ownership stay with you.
FAQ
It depends on the RAM you pick and the hours you play. The configurator above shows the exact hourly rate and a monthly estimate for your usage. When the server is stopped you pay only for storage above the free 10 GB — for a typical friends server that's a few cents a month.
