How does billing work?

All plans are billed on a recurring monthly subscription. Your plan renews automatically each billing cycle. You can cancel or upgrade at any time through the client area.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

Yes. You can upgrade your resources at any time from the client area. You will only be charged the pro-rated difference for the remainder of your billing period.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Submit a cancellation request through the client area before your next billing cycle. Cancellations after renewal are not automatically refunded unless they fall within the 48-hour guarantee window.

What control panel do you use?

We use a Pterodactyl-based control panel (Wisp Panel) which gives you real-time console access, a built-in file manager, SFTP support, one-click modpack installation, database management, and more.

How quickly will my server be online?

Your server is deployed automatically and is typically live within seconds of your order being confirmed. No manual setup is required from our end.

Is DDoS protection included?

Yes. Enterprise-grade DDoS protection is included on every plan at no additional cost. Your server IP is protected against volumetric and application-layer attacks.

Can I install custom mods, plugins, or software?

Absolutely. You have full SFTP access and can upload any compatible software, mods, or plugins to your server. We also provide a one-click installer for popular modpacks and server types.

Are backups available?

Backups are not currently offered as a built-in feature. We recommend using SFTP to download copies of your server data regularly.

Can I use a custom domain name for my server?

Yes. You can point a custom subdomain or domain to your server IP.

What is your uptime SLA?

We guarantee 99.9% uptime on all plans. In the rare event of downtime exceeding this threshold, service credits are applied to your account automatically.

How do you handle scheduled maintenance?

Planned maintenance is announced at least 48 hours in advance via our status page and email notifications. We minimise maintenance windows and typically perform them during off-peak hours.
