Stop paying for an empty Minecraft server

Traditional Minecraft server hosting keeps charging you while you sleep or are at school. Our dynamic pricing ensures that you only pay when you play!

No subscription, just credits!

exaroton is prepaid, with no subscription and no contract. You pay with credits, the currency of exaroton, and your server only uses them while it's online, depending on the RAM you pick.

Example: 2GB RAM for 4 hours uses 8 credits.

Save up to 90% server costs with exaroton

Here you can see an example month with exaroton. The green bars show when your server is really running, and that's the only time it costs you money. Compared to traditional hosts with a subscription, that can save you a lot.

You save per month

To be honest

With this much playtime, a fixed monthly price could actually be cheaper than exaroton.

But most Minecraft phases are over after a few weeks, and a subscription keeps billing you for the rest of the month. On exaroton, a server nobody plays on costs next to nothing, and you can lower the RAM when fewer friends join.

Only while it's online

Your server starts when a player joins and stops by itself once the last player leaves. Offline time costs nothing.

RAM that fits the session

Pick the RAM per session. A busy evening at 4GB costs 4 credits per hour, a normal one at 2GB costs 2.

Storage

While your server is offline, we keep it for up to 10 credits (≈ ) a month. Credits you spend playing that month are deducted from it. Up to 10 GB per server.

Your game server, on demand

Our unique features start your server automatically when you want to play and stop it again once no one is playing. So you never pay for an unused server.
