Getting Started

Welcome to RentGameServer.gg — game server hosting that you pay for by the hour, not by the month. Spin up a server when you want to play, stop it when you're done, and only pay for the time it's actually running.

Why pay by the hour?

Most game hosts lock you into a monthly plan whether you play every day or once a week. We do it differently:

  • No subscriptions, no monthly commitment. You buy credits up front and your running servers draw down from that balance, one hour at a time.
  • Stop anytime to stop paying. When a server is stopped, billing pauses — you are not charged while it sits idle.
  • Your balance can never go negative. If you run low on credits, we gracefully stop your server instead of charging you into the red.
