Spieleserver Flex: how it works
With Spieleserver Flex, you choose the tier by the number of players, from Flex S to Flex XL. When you order, you select the game that runs on it from Valheim, Minecraft, Factorio, Project Zomboid, Terraria, Don't Starve Together, Core Keeper, Garry's Mod and Hytale. Later, you switch the game yourself without a new contract.

The server enforces the number of players as a fixed limit. After a game switch, the number of players of the selected game applies. You can move to the next higher tier at any time in the customer portal. We make a change to a lower tier on request. Mods are available from Flex M. Flex XL also includes a dedicated IP address and a custom name, for example drachenhort.perfect-server.de. For the other tiers, you can add both when you order or later in the customer portal: custom name €1.00, dedicated IP address €3.50 per month. For Flex XL, you set the custom name in the customer portal once the server is set up. For Minecraft, the name alone is enough and no port is needed. The world is backed up daily, and each backup is kept for 30 days.
Valheim itself allows at most ten simultaneous players, regardless of the tier.
Choosing the game
You choose the game when you order. If you come from the page of a game, it is already selected. You can still change it before you submit the order.
Switching the game
You switch the game yourself on the page of your server in the customer portal under "Spieleserver" (Game servers). Switching is free of charge and possible as often as you like, at most once per hour. The server address stays the same. The connection details for the new game are then shown in the customer portal.
What happens to your worlds
The world of every game you have played is kept. When you switch back to a game, its most recent save is available again automatically.
In the customer portal, you see the stored saves of each previous game and can download any of them. You can restore the world of the game that is currently running to an earlier save. The world of another game returns automatically when you switch back.
For each game, the last five saves from game switches are kept until the end of the contract. The daily backups are deleted after 30 days.
Term and cancellation
The term is one month. After that, the contract continues on a monthly basis and is cancellable with a notice period of one month.
After the contract ends
When the contract ends, we back up the last state of your world and keep it for 90 days. If you order a game server again during this time, the save is available in the customer portal under "Spieleserver" (Game servers) and can be transferred to the new server, provided it runs the same game. You can download your world during the contract term. After the contract ends, this is no longer possible. After 90 days, the save is deleted.
Do you already have a game server with a fixed game?
Your existing contract continues unchanged. You can move to Spieleserver Flex at the end of its minimum term.
