Server application, configuration, console and mods in one web interface — on our own hardware in data centres in Germany and Finland. Volumetric filtering up to 1.2 Tbit/s is included in every plan; you book the Game filter for A2S, RakNet and Steam-Query as an option.
The panel brings together what is otherwise split across three paths: installing the server application, editing its configuration files and accessing the running console. Everything in the browser, without logging into the system first.
A tile is an instance, i.e. a single running game server. The base tier runs exactly one and costs nothing in any plan, the largest tier runs up to 25 in one view. No tier changes the performance of the machine.
Panel tiers · instances per account
The base tier is included in every plan and covers one instance with a web console, file management, SFTP access and one schedule. The higher tiers expand the number of instances, sub-accounts and schedules and open up additional access — SSH access into the container and the API with custom access tokens. No tier changes the performance of the machine; exactly what is added is detailed in the description of the respective tier.

Basis is included at no extra charge in every plan and does not need to be deselected if you do not need it.All amounts net, plus 19% VAT. A change of tier takes effect in the next billing month and leaves the running instance untouched.
A calculation model is stored for 23 titles. The table lists them with runtime environment, standard slots, the plan that supports this number, and the amount per slot. The panel sets up further titles via application templates.
A slot is a concurrently connected player, not a registered account. It affects two metrics at once, and both determine which plan is sufficient.
Memory grows linearly: a fixed amount in megabytes, specified by the title, is added to the base requirement of the server application per slot. The total is rounded up to half gigabytes — the value in the “Memory” column is exactly this total for standard slots.
Compute load grows flatter, but not linearly to the benefit: every slot above the first adds around 6% of the base value. The base value itself depends on the tick rate of the title — this is the number of game states the server calculates per second. 20 Hz results in a factor of one, double that means double the load. Therefore, a title with a high tick rate needs more machine with just a few players than a quiet sandbox with many.
The upper limit in the catalogue is 200 slots; for 20 of the listed titles, the panel also handles mod and plugin management.
Every filled block is a slot. You book in increments of 2, the upper limit in the catalogue is 200 — and every slot above the first costs around 6% additional compute load.

The table can be scrolled sideways; the title column remains fixed.

The recommendation is the smallest plan that supports memory and compute load for standard slots — not the most comfortable. The amount per slot divides its monthly amount by the largest number of slots it still supports for the title; with fewer players, a slot costs correspondingly more. All amounts net, plus 19% VAT.. If you load mods, keep more worlds simultaneously or go beyond the standard number, calculate in the calculator below or in the configurator.
Select title, slots and location, add backup and game filter as needed — the calculator shows the smallest supporting plan, the memory and the total. It knows the 23 titles with a stored calculation model and calculates using the same catalogue values as the configurator.

All amounts are net, plus 19% VAT., unless shown as a gross amount. The calculation model assumes the server application without mods — heavy mod packs require more memory than stated here.
Both series come with the same panel and the same protection levels. They differ in whether the processor is shared or assigned exclusively to your instance — and therefore in how reliably the tick rate holds under load.
High clock speed, local NVMe and a compute budget that is firmly allocated per plan. The series for single worlds, small to medium rounds and everything that does not permanently fully load every core.

The slot specification on the cards is a calculated upper limit for Minecraft (Java Edition) — the title on which the compute budget of the plans is calibrated. It tells you where memory or compute load end, not which player count plays well; the usual player count is in the line below. For every other title, the configurator recalculates both values.
A website loads once and is then done. A game server calculates a state and sends it on — for most titles, many times per second. Each of these cycles carries the latency on the way to the player.
The tick rate is the frequency at which the server recalculates the game state. At 20 Hz, there are 50 milliseconds between two states. Everything the route costs additionally is added on top — and it is added twice, for the input there and the feedback back. That is why an additional route of a thousand kilometres is noticeable in a game, whereas nobody notices it in a cart.
Just as important as the average is the fluctuation. A consistent, slightly longer route plays more smoothly than a short one that occasionally spikes: the client predicts movements and has to correct them with every spike — this is exactly what you see as stuttering, even if the average looks good.
In practice, this means: choose the location based on the centre of gravity of your group, not the price factor. A change is possible later, but requires changing the address and thus an announcement to everyone involved.
5 locations currently carry game server capacity, their connection is between 3 and 21 ms. What matters is not how many there are, but which one is closest to your group.
Location distribution · connection at the border router
Locations with game server capacity 5
The value per location is the connection latency of the data centre, measured at our border routers — between 3 and 21 ms. What an individual player sees also depends on their own connection; we can neither measure nor guarantee this part of the route.
The decision is made before the location, not on your server: 1.2 Tbit/s volumetric filtering is included in every plan and costs under 1 ms additional latency in the game profile.
Filter levels · 3 protection levels in the catalogue
Basic protection is included in every plan and does not need to be turned on. It runs continuously, not just after a call to support — and for games, it is the rule, not the exception.
Game servers are attacked more frequently than web servers, and for a trivial reason: the address is public in every server list, and an outage occasionally decides a round. Attacks therefore do not come from professional attackers, but from the round itself, booked for a few minutes.
Volumetric floods — attacks that simply overload the connection with data volume — are caught by the basic protection. More difficult are packets that look like valid game packets — requests for server status, connection attempts, packets with correct protocol identification. They cannot be cleanly separated from real players by volume; this requires filters that know the title's protocol.
Filtering runs before the location in the scrubbing centres — the filter nodes that clean the traffic before it reaches the data centre. In the game profile, it costs under 1 ms additional latency — this is the value against which the choice of location above must be weighed. The mitigation process is detailed in the network chapter.
Amplification via DNS, NTP, memcached and SSDP, SYN and ACK floods, fragmented packets and attacks with spoofed source addresses.
Volumetric, Layer 3 and 4
Status requests every second, connection attempts without login and packets with valid protocol identification from many sources. The filter checks the packets against the title's protocol and discards what does not match.

If you want to have an entire machine with all addresses filtered, book the gaming level in the bare metal configurator instead. All amounts net, plus 19% VAT.
The interface is the convenient way, not the only one. The same operations run via the command line and via the API; anyone who sets up instances repeatably takes that second route.
For 20 of the listed titles, the panel handles mod management: it resolves dependencies and creates a copy of the previous version before every intervention. It does not evaluate what a mod does in terms of content.
Extensions · dependency check before restart
The voice server is a separate item in the catalogue — “Voice server, 25 slots” for €4.90$5.68 per month, net. It runs in the same data centre, with its own address and from the same panel.
Voice service · own address, same panel
Rights are assigned per instance, not per account. A moderation team gets the console without accessing files, contracts or deletion; whoever backs up the world needs file access, but no restart.
Mods are installed by the panel from a source of your choice or from an upload. It resolves dependencies and creates a copy of the previous version before every intervention — the latest state is therefore always one selection away, not a reinstallation.
What the panel does not do: evaluate the content of a mod. You decide whether an extension makes economic sense, is error-free or is compatible with your play style.

The most common data loss on a game server is not a hardware failure, but a command, a mod update or a player with too many permissions. The only remedy is a second copy in a different location.
The instance directory is backed up as a whole: world data, configuration files, installed mods and plugins, player lists and additional data of the server application. The operating system is not backed up — we redeploy it if needed, it contains nothing of yours.
The process is more important than the frequency: the instance is stopped for the moment of the backup or the file system is frozen so no world is captured in the middle of writing. A backup during an active write process would result in a file that only proves unusable upon restore.
Frequency and retention period are determined by the booked option — they are in the table below because they are maintained there and are the same in the configurator. Without a booked option, there is no scheduled backup; then the local NVMe is your only copy.
Recovery points are identical copies in a stack. The basic option “Daily backup, 7 points” costs €3.90$4.52 per month net and stores the copies in the ENTRONYX CLOUD network. A whole copy is always pulled out, never a single file from it.
Point chain · self-service recovery in the panel
Select a recovery point from the list and confirm. No ticket or support request is needed — recovery is a self-service feature.
The running instance is shut down cleanly so no half-written world file is left behind. The current state is saved as a separate point beforehand.
Worlds, configuration files, mods and additional instance data are written over the instance directory. Address, ports and panel permissions remain unchanged.
The instance boots up again, the console shows the startup sequence. The panel then shows an entry of who restored which point and when.

Choose a VPS if you are going to set up the server application manually anyway, your configuration is versioned and you do not need a panel. Otherwise, with a game server, you pay for a panel and pre-installed game that you do not use — and the entry price is lower there.
Choose a dedicated server if you run many instances simultaneously, run your own virtualisation or need hardware that no plan on this page provides.
Choose the game server if you want game operations and no system operations: if a moderation team needs the console without getting root; if mods change regularly; if an attack on the server address is a realistic scenario, not a theoretical one.
Switching in both directions is possible. The instance directory can be pulled via SFTP and run on a VPS — there is no format that only runs here.
8 questions we regularly receive — with the answer we would also give on the phone.
No. Basic protection runs continuously on every address and does not need to be booked or activated. It takes effect without calling support and without any action in the panel.
You only need to decide whether you also want the protocol-specific game filter. This detects floods that masquerade as valid game packets and cannot be cleanly separated volumetrically.
There is no incident quota and no additional invoice after an attack. The limit is the filter capacity itself: anything that exceeds the capacity of the scrubbing centres can no longer be filtered.
In the event of sustained attacks well above the usual scale, we will contact you instead of silently removing the address from the announcement.
Yes, in the panel per instance. This is occasionally necessary: a title with an unusual protocol or a custom-built server can generate packets that the filter does not recognise.
The volumetric basic protection remains active in any case — it cannot be deselected because it also protects neighbours in the same network.
Anything you have the rights to. We do not check mod lists and do not restrict sources; the panel installs what you select or upload.
Two limits still apply. First, the technical limit: a mod that uses more memory than the plan provides will terminate the instance — that is what the memory calculation in the games section is for. Second, the legal limit: content that violates third-party rights does not belong on our systems.
Upgrades are possible at any time: stop the instance, change the plan, start. Worlds, configuration and mods remain in place, the address remains the same.
Downgrades are only possible if the used data fits into the smaller volume and the memory and computing load of the title can still be supported with your number of slots. The configurator shows in advance which plans these are.
We operate the machine, the network, the filter and the panel. Provisioning, hardware replacement, operating system and backup target are our responsibility.
You operate the server application: version, configuration, mods, rules, player management. We do not intervene there — not even for troubleshooting, unless you ask us to.
Select and confirm the recovery point in the panel. The running instance is stopped, the state is restored, the instance starts again — without a ticket and without waiting for support.
The state before the recovery is preserved as a separate point. A mistake in the selection therefore does not cost any data.
In the customer account, with no minimum term: Cancellation with one day's notice at the end of the term. If you chose twelve or twenty-four months, you can cancel with 30 calendar days' notice before the end of the term. There is no setup fee that would be forfeited.
The instance data remains accessible after the end of the contract for the duration of the agreed retention period; after that, it is deleted.
Something missing? The configurator answers most questions about the configuration along the way — everything else can be clarified with a message to our team.
The configurator guides you through titles and slots, machine, location, panel level with filter and extensions, as well as term and quantity. It calculates the memory and compute load of your slot count and hides plans that cannot support it — the amount is fixed at every step.
