Why we start with the game, not the RAM chart

Nobody shops for "a 4GB server" — they shop for Minecraft, Rust, or FiveM. So we built the buying flow that way: pick your game first, plan second.

What happens after you hit checkout

Your server starts deploying immediately. You watch it come online in real time, retry safely if anything fails, and land straight in your dashboard — no "check your email" wait.

Most people should start with our recommended plan. Size up only if you're running heavy mods or a large community. You can always upgrade later from your dashboard.
