Do I pay when my server is stopped?
No. You are only charged while a server is running.
Free — zero credits
- Server status is stopped
- Server was stopped by idle auto-shutdown (no players for 20 minutes)
- Server was stopped because you ran out of credits (after the grace period)
- Server exists in your dashboard but has never been started
Costs credits
- Any time the server status is running — billed hourly based on your plan size
Multiple servers
You can have as many servers as you want. Each stopped server costs nothing. You only pay for the ones that are actively running at the same time.
Example | Status | Cost |
|---|---|---|
Minecraft survival | Running | Billed hourly |
Factorio factory | Stopped | Free |
Minecraft modded test | Stopped | Free |
