Why 1up

Real hardware and protection included. Nothing extra to pay.

  • Processor

    AMD Ryzen 9 on every node

    Minecraft, Valheim and Rust lean mostly on one core. That is why we use high-frequency Ryzen: steadier TPS with a full server and fewer stutters while chunks generate.

    • High per-core frequency
    • DDR5
    • NVMe SSD
  • Protection

    Anti‑DDoS 24/7, on Free too

    We filter attacks on the network before they reach your game. Always on, nothing to set up and no extra charges: not per traffic, not per attack.

    • Always on
    • Every plan
    • €0 extra

  • Low ping

    Servers built for lag-free play.

  • 60s and you are in

    Pick a game, name it and copy the IP. Three steps, nothing to configure unless you want to.

  • 3 days money-back guarantee

    If a paid plan does not convince you, we give your money back. Cancel any time from the panel.

The free plan, no small print

Genuinely free. With clear limits.

We are not going to tell you it is unlimited. This is how Free works, exactly as you will see it in the panel:

  1. 3 hours a day. We warn you when 15 minutes are left. The counter goes back to 3 h every day at 00:00.

  2. 30 hours a month. They reset on the 1st. You see today's time and the month's usage in the dashboard.

  3. It shuts down when nobody is playing for 30 minutes, sooner on heavier games. That way you do not burn hours on an empty server.

  4. 1 server, 4 slots, 2 GB of RAM and 6 GB of disk. Does your game ask for more? It works the same, with the hourglass. No plugins; your world is always saved.

  5. At peak hours there may be a queue of a few minutes for Free servers. Paid plans skip it and wait only when a region is full.

New · hourglass

Any game, free as well.

Free includes 2 GB of RAM and 6 GB of disk. Does your game need more? Set it up anyway: your time runs faster depending on what the server uses. ×2 means half the hours of play.

  1. You see it before you create. Every game carries its multiplier, and the wizard tells you how long you will play before you pick a region.

  2. You decide how heavy it is. Pick less RAM or disk when you create the server and the hourglass runs slower. Up to 2 GB and 6 GB, ×1: the full 3 h.

  3. No surprises. The panel counts the real time you have left and we warn you 15 minutes before shutting down, as always.

× = 75% · RAM ÷ 2 GB + 25% · disk ÷ 6 GB
rounded to 0.5 · never below ×1 · at most ×6 on Free
