Your kid wants their own game server. Now what?
Don't worry — this page explains in plain language what a game server is, what it costs and how to set it up safely. You'll know everything in two minutes.
Got a payment request from your child?
At checkout, your child can choose "Let your parents pay". You'll get a link that shows exactly what's being ordered and what it costs. You only pay for the first period; nothing is ever charged to your account automatically afterwards. Don't recognise the request? Just don't pay: nothing happens without a payment.
What is a game server?
A game server is a private game world for games like Minecraft. Your kid decides who gets to join — usually just friends or classmates. The server doesn't run on your computer at home, but on our equipment in the Netherlands.
What does it cost?
A server for a group of friends costs a few euros per month — the price is always shown in full, including VAT. Payment works through iDEAL or Bancontact, so through a bank account. That is probably why your kid is asking for your help at checkout.
Are you locked in?
No. You can cancel every month, with two clicks in our panel. No phone call, no notice-period tricks. If your kid cancels, payments stop after the period you bought — done.
Is it safe?
With the whitelist in the panel, your kid decides exactly who can join. So switch it on together. Our systems protect the server against attacks day and night, and with one click you back up the game world and restore it again.
Does it come at a cost?
The server runs on our side, so your computer and home internet are not affected. And a private server with friends is often social in the best way: building together, making plans, agreeing on rules.
Questions? We speak your language.
Our support team is happy to help in Dutch or English — including non-technical questions about paying or cancelling. Send us a message and we will walk you through it.
