Your game server. €0 when nobody's playing.
Minecraft, Valheim, Palworld, Factorio, Project Zomboid, Core Keeper, Terraria, Minecraft Bedrock, OpenTTD, Avorion, Necesse, Enshrouded, Barotrauma and Vintage Story: ready in minutes, billed by the started hour. Your world is kept between sessions.
Ready in minutes · stop in one click · first hour of play free, no card required
🎁 Your first hour of play is on us
No card required: create your server, play, and the first hour is on us. After that you only pay for the hours it actually runs. And by referring your friends, you each earn €2.00 each.
Create my serverHow it works
Step 1
Choose your game
Minecraft, Valheim… name your server and launch it.
Step 2
We start the machine
A dedicated machine is provisioned and your world restored in minutes.
Step 3
Play, then stop
You get the connection address. We bill by the started hour, and shut down when you're done.
The console
You see what you're spending, while you play
No opaque dashboard: session time, running cost and hourly rate are shown live, next to the address you give your friends.
- Live counter: elapsed time, session cost, rate applied
- Permanent address: the same every session, your friends keep it
- Console, logs, files, backups and access sharing from the card
- One button to switch off, and billing stops there

Creating a server
You pick the RAM, the price follows
The rate comes from the power, not the game: every RAM tier shows its hourly price before you confirm. Location, modpack and settings are chosen in the same place.
Do the maths before you pay
Tell us how much you play per week: we compare it with what a monthly host would charge you, billed even when nobody logs in.
How much does it cost?
You only pay for the hours you play. Server off = €0.
Estimate (3 h/wk × 4.33 wks). A stopped server costs nothing. “Elsewhere” = the monthly plan of a fixed-price host at the same RAM, taken from the low end of what we surveyed in September 2026. It is not our price, and it is not a quote from them.
Why TickServ
Pay-as-you-go
No subscription. You top up a wallet and only pay for the hours you play.
World saved
Automatic save on every shutdown, restore on startup. Your game stays intact.
Auto-shutdown
Nobody playing? The server stops on its own so you're not billed for nothing.
Dedicated server
A machine all to yourself for the session: no shared hosting, no player slots shared with strangers.
No mandatory subscription. No surprise charge. No nasty surprises.
€0 when it's off, cancel instantly, your world kept for free, and not cut off mid-game once your account has topped up once. You see exactly what you spend.
