Run servers for a game community
Run game servers for a community: servers that sleep when empty, a join address your players remember, DDoS filtering and backups, with the cost worked out.
A community needs a server that is there when people play, an address they can remember, and protection when someone attacks it. You pay for the hours the server runs, and a server that sleeps when empty costs less.

What a community server needs
- The game server. Minecraft, Rust and other games, installed for you, with a console and a file manager in your dashboard. App Deployment
- One address to join. Players type a name such as survival-smp.coritan.gg. A join address for a server hosted here costs nothing. Game Connections
- Protection for any game. Attach a floating IP to the server, and DDoS Shield filters the traffic sent to it. That covers games that use UDP. DDoS Shield
- Backups. Take snapshots yourself, or turn on automatic backups for a server. Take a server snapshot
What it costs
Two estimates for the same server: one that sleeps when nobody plays, and one that runs all month. Change the hours to match your community.

Frequently asked questions
Can I run a game server for free?
No. Coritan sells no free game server. You pay for what each server uses, and a server that sleeps when empty costs less than one that runs all month.
How do my players join?
Create a join address for the server, such as survival-smp.coritan.gg, and share it. A join address for a server hosted here costs nothing.
Is my server protected from attacks?
A join address checks each connection before it reaches your server. For a game that uses UDP, attach a floating IP: DDoS Shield filters the traffic sent to it.
