Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? Find answers to the most common queries about plans, setup, and managing your game server to help you launch quickly and enjoy smooth multiplayer gameplay.
What is game server hosting?
Game server hosting means renting a machine that runs the dedicated server software for a multiplayer game, so the world stays online whether or not you are playing. Instead of one player hosting from a home PC, everyone connects to the same address around the clock. CraftLands runs every game server on an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X with DDR5 memory and NVMe storage, on a 10 Gbps line with DDoS filtering that stays on.
Which games can I host with CraftLands?
Minecraft, Hytale, Rust, Palworld and Satisfactory, plus bare metal dedicated servers for anything that needs a full machine. Pick a game above to see its plans and starting price. You can switch game later from the panel without buying a second server.
How much does it cost to rent a game server?
Game servers are €2.50 per GB of RAM per month with no setup fee, so an 8 GB server is €20 a month at the standard rate. Dedicated machines start higher because you take the whole box. Every plan is billed monthly by default and you can upgrade, downgrade or cancel whenever you want.
How much RAM does my game server need?
It depends on the game and the player count more than anything else. Vanilla Minecraft is comfortable at 4 GB for a small group, heavier modpacks want 8 GB or more, and Rust scales with map size as well as players. Start at the tier that matches your group, then raise the memory from the panel if the server starts to lag. The Minecraft RAM calculator gives a figure per server type and modpack if you want a number before you buy.
How fast is the server ready after I order?
About 30 seconds. The server is provisioned automatically, the game is installed for you and the panel is available immediately, so there is no ticket to wait on before the first boot.
Where are the servers located?
You choose the region at checkout and the location test above measures your real latency to each one before you commit. Picking the region closest to the majority of your players matters more for how the server feels than any other single setting.
Can I switch to a different game later?
Yes. The game is a setting on the server, not a separate product, so you can reinstall to another supported game from the panel. Take a backup first if you want to keep the old world, since reinstalling replaces the server files.
What happens if I am not happy with the server?
Game servers come with a 3-day money-back guarantee. If the performance is not what you expected in that window, you get your money back, no argument.
