First you\u2019ll need to go to <a href=\"http:\/\/ggservers.com\/\">http:\/\/ggservers.com\/<\/a> and click \u201cView Pricing\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1editedggservers_bma6xe.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose the plan you want. The higher tiers will allow you to have more players, mods and plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2editedpricing_1ffx6md.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Click \u201cSelect Location\u201d and choose which location you would like to use. Select the standard location that is nearest to your users. You can also choose a premium location that might be closer to your users and thus faster for an additional cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/3locations_1jkm99v.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We are going to scroll down, then type our Minecraft username into this box. Then click \u201cNext Step\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/4mcusername_m1s60e.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we\u2019re going to choose a game type. In this example, I\u2019m going to choose the latest version of Paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/5gametype_dik758.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once we scroll down again we can choose whether we want to add unlimited player slots or a MySQL database. Usually, you only need a database if you want to use a specific mod or plugin that requires it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/6playerslots_1n5lbz6.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Click \u201cNext Step\u201d and scroll down again. Here you can choose whether you want a URL for your server or a dedicated IP address. A dedicated IP address would shorten your IP to something like 192.158.764.93 instead of 192.158.764.93:6405 A subdomain would give you something like myserver.mcserver.io instead. Once you\u2019re done deciding on that, click \u201cNext Step\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/7ip_12uxhir.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you can choose if you want any additional services or premium features like BungeeCord or help with modpacks, permissions or plugins. Once you&#8217;re done with that, click \u201cFinal Step\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/8bungeecord_1fo9kew.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In this step, you can choose your payment period. The longer period you choose the more you pay at time but the less you have to pay overall. Click \u201cReview &amp; Order\u201d. Visit http:\/\/ggservers.com\/ to see what our current sale is and use that code here. Right now, we have a sale where you get half off your first billing period if you enter the promo code MAY50, so I\u2019m going to do that here. Then I clicked \u201cValidate Code\u201d and as you can see my total went down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/12editedpromocode_1c7gc5k.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/13promo2_1dvlkvp.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we need to enter billing information. You\u2019ll need to enter your name, email, phone number and address. Choose how you would like to pay, then enter your payment information.
