What is Smart Sleep technology?

Smart Sleep automatically puts your game server to sleep when no players are connected, and wakes it up in under 60 seconds when someone tries to join. This saves 50-70% compared to traditional 24/7 hosting.

Which games does NordHost support?

NordHost supports Valheim, Minecraft Java Edition, Minecraft Bedrock Edition (for consoles and mobile), Counter-Strike 2, and Counter-Strike 1.6.

Is there a free trial?

Yes, every new account gets 5 free hours of server time with no credit card required. You can create one server and try any supported game.

Where are the servers located?

NordHost servers are located in Helsinki, Finland, providing low latency for players in the Nordic region and Northern Europe.

How long does it take for a server to wake up?

Servers wake up in under 60 seconds. When you or your friends try to connect, the server automatically starts and you can join once it's ready.
