Free trial: how does the trial server work?

24 hours free, no payment details – and keep it with one click, your world stays.

For most games you'll find the Try free for 24 hours button in the configurator. You get a server with the smallest configuration – no invoice and no payment details.

Requirements

  • You're logged in and your email address is confirmed.
  • There is one trial server per account.
  • Only a limited number of trial servers run at the same time. If none is free right now, you'll see when the next one becomes available.
  • You can choose location and version; everything else is the smallest tier.

How long your trial server will keep running is shown at the top of the server page.

Like it?

Confirm the notice on the server page and click Keep server. You'll receive a normal invoice for the first month. As soon as it's paid, your server keeps running without interruption – world and settings stay. You can then book more memory under Manage → Book more power.

Some features are locked during the trial, e.g. Switch game. Once you keep the server, everything works.

And if not?

When the trial ends, the server is paused and you get an email with the deletion date. It is deleted shortly after. Until then you can still rescue it with Keep server. You don't need to cancel anything.
