Nodecraft

Nodecraft sells game servers in two forms. Nodecraft Lite sleeps when nobody is connected and wakes through Discord or a share link, while Nodecraft Pro stays on around the clock. The pricing page shows Lite plans in euro, from €5.98 per month for 2 GB of RAM to €20.48 for 7 GB, each with a first-month sale rate.

Both products run on AMD Ryzen 9 or AMD EPYC CPUs with SSD storage and ECC RAM. The pages we read name no country of establishment; the footer shows a toll-free phone line, live chat, a support email address and the copyright line Nodecraft, Inc. 2012 to 2026. A free 24-hour trial without a card is offered, and a three-day trial for users who enter payment details.

• Lite servers that sleep. A Lite server stops when empty and wakes when someone joins through Discord or a share link. That suits groups who play a few evenings a week and do not want to pay for idle hours.
• Pro servers always on. Pro is described as a server that runs 24/7. The pricing page lists it beside Lite, though the Pro prices were not part of the Lite price table we read.
• Plans by RAM size. Lite plans step from 2 GB at €5.98 through 3, 4, 5 and 6 GB to 7 GB at €20.48 per month. The page gives each plan a first-month sale rate in addition to the standard rate.
• Discord wake-up. The Discord wake-up feature is listed for Lite servers. Players start the server from a chat channel instead of asking the owner to log in to a panel.
• Hardware statement. Lite and Pro are stated to run on AMD Ryzen 9 or AMD EPYC CPUs with SSD storage and ECC RAM. The page gives no clock speeds or per-plan CPU core counts.
• DDoS protection. DDoS protection is listed for the server hosting. The pages we read give no capacity figure or mitigation time, so it is a statement of presence rather than a measured limit.
• Broad game list. Popular titles named include Palworld, Minecraft: Java Edition, FiveM, Windrose, Hytale, Valheim, Garry's Mod, Factorio, Satisfactory and Terraria: PC.

• A casual group that plays on weekends. Lite's sleep-when-empty behaviour and Discord wake-up fit friends who log on a few times a week and prefer not to pay for a server that sits idle.
• A community needing a server up at all hours. Pro runs 24/7, which suits a public server where players from several time zones join at unpredictable times. The Pro price should be checked on the pricing page.
• A European or American player base. Locations cover several North American cities, São Paulo, many European cities including London, Paris and Amsterdam, and Asia-Pacific, so latency can be matched to where players live.

The pages we read describe the products and prices rather than a setup walk-through. A new user can start a free 24-hour trial with no credit card, or a three-day free trial by entering payment details, and then choose between Lite and Pro, a RAM size and a location.

The pricing page lists many locations, including Seattle, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, Toronto, Washington, D.C., São Paulo, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid, Copenhagen, Prague, Zagreb, Bucharest and Asia-Pacific. A Lite server is woken through Discord or a share link. Billing is by subscription, with a payment reminder sent seven days before autopay. Support is reachable by live chat, email and a toll-free phone line shown in the footer.

Nodecraft sells two products: Lite, which sleeps when empty and wakes through Discord or a share link, and Pro, a server that runs around the clock.

Lite plans in euro are priced by RAM from 2 GB to 7 GB, with a first-month sale rate for each. The pricing page footer names Nodecraft, Inc., but the pages read state no country.

In our game server hosting ranking Nodecraft stands at #8 of 14: the products next to it are GGServers above and Nitrado below. No numeric score is attached; established products follow the challengers in their ranked order.

The vendor states no country of establishment, so Nodecraft is left out of the regional count for this list.

Payment reminders go out seven days before autopay.

Games named include Palworld, FiveM, Hytale, Factorio and Satisfactory.

In the catalogue: Monthly plans by RAM size, prices published in euro; 24-hour trial without a card.

A free 24-hour trial needs no credit card, and a three-day free trial is available to users who enter payment details. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time. A payment reminder goes out seven days before autopay, and unpaid subscriptions are terminated after a three-day grace period. The page refers to a refund and money-back guarantee and links to a full refund policy that we did not read, so the conditions are not described here.

The pages we read cover pricing and hardware and do not contain a privacy policy, a data processing agreement, certifications or a statement of where customer data is stored. What they do show is ECC RAM and SSD storage on AMD Ryzen 9 or EPYC CPUs and DDoS protection for server hosting.

The footer names Nodecraft, Inc. but no country of establishment, so the governing jurisdiction is not visible from these pages. Buyers who need a data processing agreement or a data location statement should ask the vendor, because the pages do not answer these points.
