TRANSPARENCY

Ending confusing pricing practices.

The game server hosting industry widely employs unclear pricing practices.
We refuse to accept this standard.

Common industry practices

Confusing pricing

  • ✗
    Bargain first month, skyrocket next month Discounts like “50% off first month” make the base price look low, then rates multiply several times afterward.
  • ✗
    Forced long-term prepayment Advertised as “¥XXX/month” but that rate only applies when paying 12 months upfront—monthly billing costs significantly more.
  • ✗
    First-year pricing displayed prominently “First-year special” or “campaign pricing” is highlighted, while second-year rates and auto-renewal price changes are hidden.
  • ✗
    Cancellation fees and minimum terms Discounted contracts include early termination penalties, making it hard to leave when your needs change.
  • ✗
    Auto-renewal trap Auto-renewed at the discounted rate initially, but you wake up to find yourself charged 2-3x the regular price.

PAYMENT

We don’t store your card number.

Payments are processed by PayPal, Square and Stripe.

We never store your full card number

For card payments, the card number itself is held by our payment processor (Stripe), which is PCI DSS compliant. All we keep is the brand, last 4 digits and expiry date to identify the card, plus an encrypted token used for recurring billing.

We never store your security code

With any payment method, we never store your card’s security code (CVV / CVC).

3-D Secure supported

Stripe card payments support 3-D Secure, your card issuer’s cardholder authentication. VISA / Mastercard / JCB / American Express are accepted.

Here is exactly how each payment method is handled.

Stripe card payment (recurring; 3-D Secure supported)
The card number itself is stored securely by our payment processor (Stripe), which is PCI DSS compliant. We do not keep the full card number on our servers — only the brand, last 4 digits and expiry date to identify the card, plus an encrypted payment token used for recurring billing. Subsequent charges are processed with that token.
PayPal (recurring)
With PayPal recurring payments, your card details are stored neither on our servers nor by our payment processor. All we keep is the billing-agreement ID issued by PayPal and billing information such as the next charge date and amount. Your funding source (PayPal balance, linked bank account, linked card, and so on) stays entirely within your PayPal account.
Square (one-time)
Square payments are one-time only. Recurring billing is not supported, and we never store any information used for future charges (card details, tokens, and so on). To keep your service running, please complete the payment again at each renewal.
Cancel or remove a payment method at any time
You can remove or change a stored payment method from the client portal at any time (for PayPal, you can cancel automatic payments from the “Automatic payments” settings in your PayPal account). If you would like your service to stop renewing, please submit a cancellation request (“End of billing period”) from the client portal. There are no cancellation fees and no minimum term.

We issue an invoice about one week before the due date and email it to your registered address. For full details see Payment methods for usage fees →.

INFRASTRUCTURE

The unglamorous work of staying online.

Our servers are housed in a data centre with the following facilities.

HOW DATA TRAVELS Player Line A Line B Redundant network (2 routes) Game server Spare units included Storage Spread across NVMe SSDs (Ceph) HOW POWER TRAVELS Mains power Normal operation UPS (battery backup) N+1: one more than needed On-site generator For longer outages Powers the serversIf one part stops, another path or another unit takes over.
Redundant servers

Equipment is run with spares in place, so a single hardware failure does not take the service down.

Redundant storage (Ceph · NVMe)

Your data is held across multiple NVMe SSDs. If one drive fails, the data is not lost.

Redundant network

There is more than one route to the internet, so traffic keeps flowing even if one path goes down.

UPS with N+1

Battery units keep the power on during an outage, and we keep one more unit than strictly required — so power continues even if a unit fails.

On-site generator

For longer outages there is a generator on site. It takes over while the UPS bridges the gap.

Keeping your server online is the priority — starting with the facilities it runs on.

FEATURES

Service features

The following features are included as standard on every plan.

🧩

Set the Forge version

Set FORGE VERSION from Startup in the game panel, to match what your modpack asks for.

☕

Switch the Java runtime

Choose the Docker image from Java 8 / 17 / 21 / 25 to match your modpack.

⬆️

Pull files straight from a URL

With upload-from-url in the file manager, a Server Pack goes straight to the server without downloading it locally first.

💾

Light backups

The modpack itself and the Forge libraries are left out of backups. With the re-fetchable parts excluded, your world and settings are saved quickly.

⚙️

Automatic Setup

Your server is automatically built and configured after signup. Manage your server with an intuitive dedicated game panel for configuration changes, file uploads/downloads, and more.

⚡

High Performance

All hardware is dedicated server-grade with high durability. If your server specs become tight, you can easily upgrade while keeping all your data.

🚀

One-Click Server Optimization

Even at peak times, move to a server with more headroom yourself in one click. World data and settings carry over. Learn more →

📡

Monitoring for stutter

We continuously monitor how each server behaves and detect early signs of rubber-banding (stutter). What we find feeds back into how we size and design resources, so play stays smooth.

🛡️

DDoS Protection

Game servers include built-in DDoS defense systems for a stable gaming environment.

💬

Fast Support & Multilingual

Our Japanese technical team provides rapid support. Dedicated support ticket system with multilingual assistance available (AI translation: Korean, Chinese, English).

Edit the config file

The server config file can be edited and uploaded straight from the file browser in the game panel. Player limit (max-players), world settings, adding mods — the changes you need for day-to-day operation are all done in the browser.

🔄

Versions you pin yourself

The Minecraft and Forge versions, and the Java version (Docker image) the server runs on, are all set on the “Startup” tab of the game panel. A modpack only runs on the version combination it was built for, so set these to match what your modpack specifies.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between mods and plugins?
Mods (Forge / Fabric) change the game itself, and every player needs the same mods installed on their client. Plugins (Paper / Spigot) run on the server only, and players join with an unmodified client. This product is for the former — Forge modpacks. For plugins, please use our Minecraft/JAVA product.
How do I install a modpack?
Match the Forge version and the Java runtime under Startup, reinstall, then pull the CurseForge Server Pack in with upload-from-url, decompress it and start the server. You can do all of this yourself. The steps are in our documentation.
Which modpacks will run?
Any modpack that ships a Forge Server Pack. There are a great many modpacks and they update often, so we do not guarantee that a particular modpack will run. Before you start, check the Minecraft and Forge versions it needs and how much memory it wants.
Do the other players need to do anything?
Yes. Every player needs the same modpack, at the same version, on their own client. Mismatched versions cannot connect.
Do backups include the modpack itself?
No. The modpack and the Forge libraries can be fetched again, so they are excluded. Your world, settings and scripts are protected. If you rebuild the server, put the Server Pack back first and restore after that — the other way round will not start.
How soon after signing up can I use the server?
Your server is built automatically once payment clears. It is usually ready within a few minutes to a few tens of minutes, and we email you when setup finishes.
For how the game panel works, see Logging into the game panel and feature overview.
The steps through to connecting are covered in Setting Up a Minecraft Modpack Server.
How many players can I have at once?
The player limit is a value you set yourself on the “Startup” tab of the game panel — we do not cap it on our side.
How many play comfortably varies a lot with how heavy your modpack is, how many mods you load, your view-distance setting and each player’s connection. For a busy always-on server or a heavy mod list we recommend a plan with more memory and vCPU.
Where do I find the port to connect to?
You can see the port numbers assigned to your server on the “Network” tab of the game panel. To connect with Minecraft Java Edition, use the address and port shown there as-is.
Can I use mods?
Yes. Minecraft mods are jar files that go in the server’s mods folder. If you are running a modpack, upload the server pack from wherever you got the modpack and unarchive it — that gives you the mods and the configs in one go.
The steps are in Setting Up a Minecraft Modpack Server. With Forge, everyone joining needs the same mod set on their client.
Whether a particular mod works depends on how that mod is built, so we cannot guarantee individual mods.
Can I change my plan later?
Yes, upgrade or downgrade anytime from your client portal. Your server data is preserved, and we bill only the difference.
Steps are at Game Server Upgrade/Downgrade Guide.
What payment methods do you accept?
Self-service online payment is available through PayPal, Square and Stripe (credit card). For any other payment method, please ask us via a support ticket. Your server builds automatically once payment clears.
See full details at Payment Methods.
How do I cancel or unsubscribe?
Please submit a cancellation request from the client portal. There is no minimum contract term or cancellation fee. Monthly plans run to the end of the billing month.
See How to Cancel Game Server Services for instructions.
Are prices including or excluding tax?
All large price displays on this page are excluding tax, with the tax-included amount (10% consumption tax) shown below. This aligns with our other services (cloud/VPS/GPU, etc.). You’ll be charged the tax-included amount at payment.
Can I restore from a backup?
Yes. One click on the Backup tab of the game panel restores your data. Minecraft: Forge Modpack keeps 3 backup generations on every plan. If you set up scheduled backups, the oldest one is replaced once the limit is reached.
For the detailed steps, see Backups and Restoring on a Minecraft Modpack Server.
What happens when Minecraft or my modpack is updated?
The Minecraft and Forge versions are values you set yourself on the “Startup” tab of the game panel. A modpack runs on a specific version combination, so nothing moves your server to a new version on its own.
When you do want to move up, change those values to what the new modpack build specifies and put the new server pack in place. Taking a backup first is a good idea.
