Einfache, faire Preise

Yes - the free size needs no card and runs a real server with a limited console and no file system access. It pauses after 6 idle hours with nobody online; one click starts it right back up, with no queue. Paid sizes unlock the full Pterodactyl panel.

One free 1 GB server per account, no card and no ads anywhere - it pauses when nobody's online. Anything more (more RAM, extra servers, one-click modpacks, always-on uptime, the full Pterodactyl panel) is billed by the gigabyte. That's the whole model.

Each server is billed on its own, every month, by the RAM you give it: $0.50 per GB per month, so a 2 GB server is $1.00/month. There's no account-wide plan, so a small survival world and a big modpack on the same account are sized and priced separately. Change a server's RAM any time. The prorated difference for an upgrade is charged immediately; for a lower paid size or immediate move to Free, choose the displayed refund to your original payment method or the full unused-time proration as account credit.

Yes. Change a server's RAM from its dashboard whenever you need to. The prorated upgrade difference is charged immediately, and a lower paid size takes effect immediately with your chosen refund. For a move to Free, either keep the paid size through the billing period or move immediately with a refund.

Yes. Cancel paid billing for an individual server from the Billing page at any time. Schedule the move to Free for the end of the billing period, or move immediately and choose the displayed payment-method refund or full proration as account credit. An immediate move turns the server off while its preserved files move to free-tier CPU hardware. Your server and files stay in place in your account.

Yes. Keep as many as you like on one account, each its own size and price, and they can all be online at the same time, no switching. You get one free 1 GB server; any extra server, or anything bigger than 1 GB, is billed per GB. Your worlds stay put whether a server is online or not.

Yes. Stripe processes payments and handles your billing information. Your full card details are submitted directly to Stripe and are not stored by Crafty Servers. You can update your payment method and view invoices through Stripe's billing portal.

Paid sizes include full panel and file access for Bukkit/Spigot plugins, your own Forge mods, and one-click modpacks. The free tier is for Vanilla or Paper with its limited console.

To safeguard free servers against abuse, the free tier has a limited console and no file system access. If you need full panel access for your free server, contact support and we can enable it for you.

Send them the address from your dashboard - they connect with the normal Minecraft: Java Edition client, nothing to install. We don't cap player slots; plans are sized by RAM and disk.

We recommend Crafty Servers for small communities with fewer than 25 players. We keep prices low by using otherwise-unleased capacity from large cloud providers, so single-threaded CPU performance varies and is not the market's best at every size. If you expect 25 or more players online at once, especially on a busy or heavily modded world, a premium host with dedicated high-performance hardware may be a better fit.

Yes - launch a live demo server straight from this page, no account or card. If you like it, claim it onto a free account and the world comes with it.

Yes. Connect to your server over SFTP (included on every plan) and upload your world folder - big worlds are no problem over SFTP.
