How we compare
List and renewal prices for a game server with the same RAM. First-term promo prices are ignored because they are not what you pay in month two.

Backups the others charge for
Most hosts give you a manual backup button or a weekly snapshot. Every Fusenode server is archived every six hours to a separate backup target, each run is verified, and you keep 14 days of history. Restore from the panel.
An AI that actually fixes crashes
When a server crashes, the agent reads the console, matches it against known failures (wrong Java, bad EULA, port in use, corrupt world) and fixes the safe ones automatically. Anything else goes to Claude for a diagnosis and a proposed fix you approve with one click.
Dedicated vCPU you can see
Most hosts sell RAM and stay quiet about CPU. Every plan here lists its vCPU count, the panel graphs real CPU and memory, and the caps are enforced on the machine, not just in the brochure.
42+ games, one panel
Official server builds, downloaded straight from the source when you deploy. Each game page shows which plan to pick and how many players it runs. Don’t see yours? Any dedicated server that runs on Windows can be hosted on a custom plan.

How it works
Choose
Pick a game and a plan. Name your server. Monthly or yearly.
Pay
Secure checkout through Stripe. No setup fee.
Deploy
We fetch the server files, Java or SteamCMD as needed, and start it on a dedicated node. Usually under five minutes.
Play
Open the panel: console, chat, mods, files, backups, the assistant. Invite your friends.
Questions
Are player slots really unlimited?
Yes. You pay for RAM and CPU, not seats. The game page shows how many players each plan runs comfortably; the only cap is the one the game itself enforces.
What does the AI actually do?
Two things. When the server crashes it reads the log, names the cause and applies safe fixes on its own, such as installing the right Java, accepting the EULA or freeing a port. Anything riskier is proposed and waits for your approval. Separately, there is an assistant on every server page that can read your config and console and answer questions or propose changes.
How do backups work?
Every six hours the agent archives the server to its backup target (a separate disk or another node), verifies the archive, and prunes anything older than 14 days. Restore any of them from the panel. You can change the schedule and retention per server.
Can I run modpacks?
Yes. Minecraft servers install any Modrinth modpack or individual mods and plugins from the panel; Steam games support Workshop items and mod zips; Rust supports Oxide/uMod.
Can I change plans later?
Any time from your dashboard. Upgrades take effect on the next restart; the server keeps its world, mods and settings.
Is the yearly price a contract?
No. It is one payment for 12 months at about 20% off. If you cancel, the server runs until the paid period ends.
Where are the servers?
On our own dedicated hardware in the United States, with an agent on every node feeding live stats to your panel.
What happens if I cancel?
The server stops at the end of the paid period. Files are kept 14 days after that in case you change your mind.
