Upgrading your Minefort server to a paid plan offers several benefits that are not available with a free plan:

1. More Resources: Paid server plans provide you with more resources such as RAM and CPU power, allowing for a smoother and more stable Minecrafting experience.
2. More Players: Paid server plans allow for more player slots, allowing you to invite more friends to play on your server or enabling you to create your own gaming network!
3. Availability: Paid server plans are online 24/7, which enables your userbase to keep playing, even while you're away or asleep!
4. More Control: Paid server plans come with more backup slots, allowing you to save multiple backups of your Minefort server for peace of mind.
5. No Ads: The Minefort dashboard of servers with a paid server plan are totally ad-free! Because you're supporting our work by purchasing a server plan, we've gotten rid of the annoying ads just for you 😉

Overall, upgrading to a paid server plan is well worth the investment if you want a better, more stable, and more customizable gaming experience!

Purchasing a server plan on Minefort has several benefits over self-hosting, including:

1. Ease of use: Server hosting networks provide an easy-to-use interface and automated setup, making it simple to get your server up and running quickly.
2. The Minefort network: Rather than having to market your own server to the public, Minefort takes care of this for you! If you wish to create a public server, you're able to meet new players through the Minefort community.
3. Reliability: Hosting networks have dedicated servers with high uptime and reliability, ensuring your server is always online and accessible to players.
4. Scalability: Minefort provides options for upgrading or downgrading your server resources as needed, making it easy to scale your server to match your player base.
5. Support: There's someone always ready to help and provide troubleshooting assistance in our Discord server, ensuring you have the help you need if you encounter any issues.
6. Security: Hosting networks have security measures in place to protect against DDoS attacks and other security threats, giving you peace of mind that your server is safe.

The billing cycle for server plans is set for one month (30 days). To pay for your server plan, the cost of the plan will automatically be deducted from your Minefort balance. Keep in mind that you will need to manually deposit Minefort balance before each billing cycle through one of the many available payment methods provided by Stripe or PayPal.

No, payment details are not stored on our end as all payments are handled by Stripe and PayPal. Both payment processors use secure methods to protect and encrypt all sensitive information, ensuring that your payment details are safe and protected. This also means that Minefort does not have access to or store your credit card or bank account information. All payment transactions are processed securely through Stripe and PayPal's systems, providing added security and peace of mind.

When upgrading from a paid plan to a higher tier plan, you will receive a prorated balance refund for the amount of days you have not used your previous plan for. Your new, higher tier paid plan will take effect immediately. Please note that you will have to restart your server in order for the changes to take effect.

When downgrading your server plan, you will have to wait for your current billing cycle to end. Once your billing cycle ends, your newly selected plan will take effect immediately. The exact starting date of your new plan will be displayed in place of the "Choose [Plan Name]" button located at the plan in question.

If your Minefort balance is not sufficient for your plan to be renewed, your current plan will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle. However, your server specifications and any perks will be automatically reset to those of the free plan. It is important to note that you may need to remove any plugins and/or files in order to ensure your server runs smoothly on the free plan.

No, your server plan only applies to the selected server. If you wish to purchase the same plan for another server, you will need to select that server and proceed with the purchase process again.

No, server plan purchases are final and cannot be cancelled. Please make sure to double-check your server selection before making a purchase as we are unable to swap plans between servers or issue refunds.
