Choose how the processor is shared
Every class ships the same hardware menu and the same Ubuntu Server 24.04 (LTS) 64-bit image. What changes is how the processor is shared — and the price moves with it.

This plan
Cheap while idle, billed only for the hours you book. Throttles under sustained load, which is the trade that makes it cheap.
$0.1820USD
per hour — booked for a window, not subscribed
Book by the hourBook a bigger machine for the window rather than a smaller one for longer — an hour of a large server usually costs less than a day of a small one.
For a session, not a season
A community that plays on Saturday nights does not need a server on Tuesday afternoon. Booking by the hour matches the bill to the way people actually play.
Book the window
Name a start and an end. The server is built for that period and comes down at the end of it, and billing stops with it.
Any game, any port
Root access and any TCP or UDP range, so you run your own server binary rather than picking from a supported-games list.
Know the trade
Burstable is cheap while idle and throttles under sustained load. For a persistent competitive server, buy Dedicated instead — we would rather say so than take the order.
Where your server runs
All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server. Choose the region closest to whatever the job talks to most — the data you are moving, the site you are testing, the registry you are pulling from.
Pleasanton has a data centre of its own. Every marker costs the same per month.
