Want a Minecraft server without a subscription that keeps charging your card? At ServerSpark nothing is ever charged automatically: you get an invoice and pay it yourself with iDEAL, Bancontact, card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Don't pay, and the server simply stops; you cancel online in your account. With monthly billing a server for a few friends costs €2.19 for one month (2 GB, VAT included).
How paying works
- You pay each invoice yourself. We never take money from your account: no direct debit, no automatic card charge.
- Choose how long you pay ahead per order: one month, a quarter or a year. Paying ahead is cheaper per month, monthly billing is the most flexible.
- The renewal invoice arrives by email 7 days before your renewal date, with a reminder 3 days before and on the due date.
- Not paid? 2 days after the due date the server is paused; your files stay safe and you get an email. Only after 14 days unpaid is the server removed.
- Cancel online in your account: no ticket, no call, no reason needed. Cancelled means no more invoices.
- Same price on renewal. You pay what you paid the first time; if a price ever has to go up, you hear it 30 days in advance and can cancel for free.
