More than a server.A whole platform.
Anyone can rent you a Pterodactyl game server on fast hardware — that part is table stakes. NovaStack bundles the things a typical host makes you buy elsewhere or skips entirely: real pay-as-you-go billing, a one-click App Library, free webspace, one-click mods and a public server browser.
Pay-as-you-go credit billing
Top up credit and pay a simple daily rate — no monthly contract, no lock-in; delete a server and billing stops. Genuine usage-based billing is rare in this market; most hosts only sell a flat monthly box. A competitive flat-monthly tier is there too if you prefer predictable.
See pricingOne-click App Library
Spin up ready-to-run web apps — WordPress, Ghost, Strapi, NodeBB, Flarum, phpBB and more — each in its own isolated container with its own database and a name.novastack.org subdomain over wildcard TLS. No game host bundles that.
Browse the App LibraryFree webspace & Clan Spaces
Every NovaStack game server includes a name.novastack.org subdomain with a gigabyte of fast static hosting and a Clan Space template — a clan page, community hub or portfolio bundled in, not an upsell.

Install Minecraft plugins (full Modrinth search), Rust Oxide/Carbon plugins, SourceMod and more straight onto your server from the panel — gated to the right game, written to the right path, with a safe reload. No SFTP wrangling.
See supported gamesPublic server browser
Opt a server into a public directory with live player counts, current map and a one-click join address — plus its own shareable, SEO-indexed profile page and an embeddable live-status badge. Free promotion for your community.

A published 99.9% monthly uptime SLA with service credits, included Cloudflare network DDoS mitigation and a 7-day money-back guarantee — with honest, measured uptime data, not a marketing number.

An honest line-up. The panel and the hardware are shared ground — quality hosts all have those. The difference is everything bundled on top.
