For exaroton players

What changes when you leave exaroton
Paying per hour and paying per month suit different groups. These are the four things that change on a monthly plan. The exaroton side comes from exaroton's own pages, linked under each point.
How you pay
On exaroton
Credits for every hour the server runs: 1 credit per GB of RAM per hour, and a credit is worth €0.01. exaroton calls it “Don't pay when you sleep. Only pay to play.”

On a Space-Node server
One monthly price per plan, VAT included, however many hours the server runs. Longer billing terms are cheaper per month at checkout.
When nobody is playing
On exaroton
Credits are only used while the server runs. AutoStop can shut it down once it has been empty for a while and AutoStart starts it when someone joins; both are optional, and a server that stays on keeps using credits.
Source: exaroton help: Pricing
On a Space-Node server
Nothing to switch on or off. The server stays online 24/7 and the price stays the same.
Storage
On exaroton
Up to 10 GB per server, with a storage fee of 10 credits a month that the credits you spend on running the server cancel out.
Source: exaroton help: Pricing
On a Space-Node server
25 GB to 165 GB of NVMe storage, depending on the plan.
Hardware and location
On exaroton
Main nodes with an AMD Ryzen 9950X and DDR5-5600 RAM; nodes with other hardware may be added when demand is high. Two regions, Europe and North America, without a choice of country or city.

Move your exaroton world in five steps
Your world is yours: exaroton lets you download it, and you upload it in our panel.
- 1
Download the world on exaroton
Ask everyone to log off and type save-all in the exaroton console. Then use the download button for your world while the server is still online; exaroton's help centre says you can download at any time and recommends doing it before you stop the server. Backups in your cloud storage are kept in exaroton's own format, so use the download, not a backup file.
- 2
Order a plan and match the setup
Pick the same server software and Minecraft version in our panel, with at least the RAM you used on exaroton. Start the server once so it creates its files, then stop it.
- 3
Upload the world in the panel
Unzip the world on your computer, delete the fresh world folder the server generated, then upload yours with the file manager in the panel. For worlds over about 1 GB, use SFTP: the address and username are under Settings in the panel, and the password is your panel password.
- 4
Check the folder name and online-mode
The folder name has to match level-name in server.properties, usually world. Keep online-mode the same as on exaroton; changing it can cost players their inventories and positions.
- 5
Add your plugins or mods and start
Install the same plugins or mods, start the server and watch the console. Test with a friend, then give your players the new address, or point your own domain to it.
Rather have us do it?
Add the One-time Server Migration when you order. It costs €15, charged once, and it is meant for moving from another host to Space-Node: our team transfers the world for you. Questions first? Ask in live chat.

When exaroton is still the better pick
Your server runs a few hours a week
Below about 90 hours a month, exaroton costs less than our Standard plan of the same size, and below about 175 hours less than most Premium sizes. For one evening a week, paying per hour is hard to beat.
Friends share the bill
exaroton's credit pools let several people put credits into one server, and every member can take their share back out.
You want to try before you pay
exaroton gives new accounts 5 free credits and needs no payment method for the trial. We have no free trial, so ask in live chat if you are not sure which plan fits.
