How much does a game server cost?
Plans are Tiny at £1.99/month, Starter at £4.99/month, Pro at £9.99/month and Enterprise at £19.99/month. Prices are in GBP, billed monthly through Stripe, and renew automatically until you cancel.
Where are Vestra's servers located?
In Germany: Falkenstein (hosted with Hetzner) and Nuremberg (hosted with netcup). You choose the location when you order, and both suit players in and around Europe.
How does setup work?
Pick a plan, location and game in billing, then pay. Your server is set up automatically once payment goes through and appears in the panel at dash.vestra.systems, where you sign in with Vestra Passport. Read the ordering guide.
Which plan should I choose?
Tiny suits a development server or a server with friends. Our suggested starting points are Starter for a small Minecraft survival world, and Pro for a Garry's Mod community or a FiveM development server. Enterprise is our most powerful plan. Compare the suggested plans.
Are backups included?
Yes, on every plan at no extra cost. Your server is backed up automatically every day, encrypted and stored off-site, and we keep the 3 most recent. You can restore any of them from the panel. For a copy before a big update, you also get manual backup slots, separate from the daily ones: 1 on Tiny, Starter and Pro, and 3 on Enterprise. Backups keep worlds, saves, addons, plugins, mods, configs and data, and skip files that can be reinstalled, such as game files, caches and logs. You can change this in the .pteroignore file in your server folder. Databases aren't included in these backups. We still recommend keeping your own copy of anything you can't replace.
How many ports does a server get?
Every server gets one port. Rust, ARK: Survival Evolved, Valheim and Project Zomboid get the extra ports they need automatically.
Can I add more storage?
Yes. On Tiny, Starter and Pro you can add storage at £1 per 10GB. Enterprise includes 100GB of SSD storage. Databases aren't included in any plan, so use an external database if you need one.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel online in billing at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current paid period, and your server keeps running until then.
Can I get a refund?
Statutory cancellation and refund rights apply where the law gives them to you. If you ask for a service to start during a statutory cancellation period, any deduction is limited to the part of the service supplied before you cancel. See section 8 of the Terms of Service.
How do I get support?
Free support is available on Discord, through tickets and by email at [email protected]. The Server Doctor checks console output in your browser, and the status page shows known issues. Open the Server Doctor or check service status.
Is there DDoS protection?
Starter, Pro and Enterprise list DDoS protection up to 1Gbps and 1Gbps network speeds, depending on the node and current usage. Tiny lists network speeds up to 500Mbps.
