How Warp.cool works
Warp.cool is pay-as-you-play game server hosting. You buy credits, create a server, start it when your group wants to play, and stop it when you're done.
The basics
- Create a free account — no credit card required at signup.
- Buy credits — prepaid currency starting from €5. Credits never expire.
- Create a server — pick a game, region, and size. You are not charged until you press Start.
- Start when ready — your server gets a permanent
yourserver-a8f3.warp.cooladdress. - Share and play — friends connect using that address in-game.
- Stop when done — billing stops immediately and your world is saved automatically.
Why it's different
Unlike monthly subscriptions, you are not paying for 720 hours of uptime you never use. A friend group playing a few evenings a week typically spends a few euros per month instead of a flat monthly fee.
Monthly host | Warp.cool |
|---|---|
Pay every month, server runs 24/7 | Pay only when you press Start |
Good if you play daily | Good for friend groups, weekends, casual sessions |
What you manage vs what we manage
You: game settings, when to start/stop, who you invite, credit top-ups.
We: cloud infrastructure, backups, DNS, server software install, idle auto-shutdown to protect your credits.
