Why a dedicated machine?

| Mods, plugins, custom builds | Limited to the host’s panel | Anything you can run | Anything you can run |
| OS patching and hardening | Host’s job | We do it | You do it |
| 24/7 monitoring and alerts | Varies | We watch it | You set it up |
| Nightly offsite backups | Varies | Included | You set it up |
| Several games on one box | Pay per server | Yes, within the hardware | Yes |
| Setup | Minutes | Confirmed within one business day | Varies |

What managed means here
On Essential and Pro Managed, these jobs are ours. Your game, mods and settings stay yours.
Watching it
Around-the-clock checks for downtime, full disks, failing drives and overload. You and we both get the alert.
Security setup
SSH keys only, firewall, repeated-login blocking and automatic security updates before we hand over the keys.
Updates
Monthly OS security updates and urgent fixes as they are published. You choose the reboot window around your players.
Backups
Nightly, encrypted, stored in a different building. Ask for a world folder back and we restore it.
Broken parts
A failed drive, memory module or power supply is our problem. We work it with the data center.
People who answer
Outages get a first response within 4 hours, 24/7, or 1 hour on Pro Managed. The commitments are in the Service Level Agreement.

Which machine do I need for my game?
Tell us the game, the mods or mod pack, and your peak player count in the order request. We size the machine and confirm the recommendation in writing before you pay.
Can I run several games on one machine?
Yes. It is your hardware, so you can run as many game servers as its cores and memory allow.
Can you move my world from another host?
Yes. Send us what you have, such as world files, configs and the mod list, and we plan the move with you.
How does ordering work?
Send an order request for the server, location and management tier you want. We check stock at that location, confirm the setup date and the final monthly price by email within one business day, and only then send an invoice. Nothing is charged when you submit the form.
What does "managed" cover, exactly?
Essential Managed covers operating system security updates, initial hardening (SSH keys only, firewall, brute-force blocking, automatic security updates), 24/7 monitoring with alerts, nightly offsite backups and handling hardware failures with the data center for you. Pro Managed adds configuration changes, two admin hours a month and a 1-hour first response for outages. Neither tier covers writing or debugging your application code.
Do I get root access on a managed server?
Yes. You keep full root (or sudo) access on every tier. If a change you make conflicts with our hardening or breaks backups, we will tell you and help put it right; on Essential that help is limited to restoring the managed baseline.
Is DDoS protection included?
Every server sits behind automatic network-layer (L3/L4) volumetric DDoS filtering at no extra cost. That handles common floods; it is not an application firewall. If you expect targeted application-layer attacks, put a CDN or WAF in front of the server and we can help configure it on Pro Managed.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Services renew automatically until you cancel. Cancel by email or in the client area before the day your service renews; monthly services then end at the end of the billing month and prepaid terms run to the end of the term. Within 7 days of handover you can cancel a prepaid term for a full refund, and if you cancel a managed tier within 30 days of handover we refund the first month's management fee. The refund policy covers the details.
