Your Viking world, always ready. Automatic backups, Smart Sleep technology, and 50-70% savings vs 24/7 hosting.
1 hour = your server running for 1 hour.
If 4 friends play together for 3 hours, that's 3 hours used — not 12.
When everyone leaves, the server sleeps and stops counting hours.
No flat fees, no wasted months — only pay for the hours you play.
