Introducing Nodecraft Lite - Budget Server Hosting
Introducing Nodecraft Lite - Budget Server Hosting
Our new product, Nodecraft Lite, offers the same high-quality server hosting experience at lower costs.
Unlike Nodecraft Pro game servers that run 24/7, Nodecraft Lite Servers are only online when players actively use them.
Aloft server owners can use the Wake & Play Share Link to easily wake their server from hibernation. To join the server, players will need to access it through the in-game server browser or use the unique friend code generated by the game upon launch. This friend code can be quickly retrieved from the control panel for seamless sharing and gameplay.
For a full list of feature differences between our Pro and Lite packages, check out the comparison chart above!
