Step 2: Browse Available Game Servers

After you’ve successfully signed up, it’s time to select your game server. Follow these simple steps:

1. Visit the Game Hosting Section: Navigate to the section of our website dedicated to game hosting.
2. Choose Your Game: Browse through the list of available games and select the one you want to host.
3. Select Server Type: Pick the server type that fits your needs. Whether you want a basic setup or something more specialized, we have options for you.

Step 3: Configure Your Server

Now that you’ve chosen a game, it’s time to customize your server:

1. Customize Your Plan: Depending on the game, you may have options for how many players can join, extra features, or specific game settings.
2. What can be customized: There are two types of customizations for servers:
-1 The game configurations such as the basic configuration in the server for difficulty, rates, game settings.
-2 The server billing details. How many players you need for the server, the amount of days you want the server for (three days, a week or a month) and the server location (the closest to you, the less lag and delay).
3. Review Your Choices: Make sure everything is to your liking before moving forward.

Step 4: Checkout and Payment Information

When you’re ready, it's time to check out. Here’s where you’ll use your credit!

2. Continue to Payment: In the checkout process, you will see your total balance and how your $50 credit applies to your order.
3. Enter a Valid Payment Method: Although you won’t be charged right away thanks to your credit, we still need you to provide a payment method. This is necessary to set up automatic renewal for your server once your credit runs out.

Step 5: Review and Complete Your Order

Before finalizing everything, take a moment to review your order summary:

1. Check Your Credit Balance: Ensure the $50 credit has been applied to your order. If the payment is over your credit, you'll see the number you have to pay in "Price to Pay". For example, if you order a game for 30 days and it costs $52 USD, then, you'll see "Price to Pay: $2.00".
2. Understand the Renewal: Keep in mind that you won’t be charged until your credit is used up, but your payment method will be set up for seamless renewal after 28 days.

Once you’ve confirmed everything is correct, go ahead and click “Complete Order.”

Step 6: Get Started with Your Game Server

Congratulations! You've ordered your game server. You can now access your server’s control panel where you can adjust settings, manage players, and more.
