Welcome to the Next Generation of Game Server Hosting
The gaming landscape is evolving rapidly, and so are the needs of server administrators and gaming communities. Traditional hosting solutions often lock you into rigid monthly plans, force you to choose a single game for the lifetime of your server, and leave you struggling with complex configurations. That's where Level 1k comes in.
We're not just another hosting provider—we're building the future of flexible, intelligent game server hosting. Our platform combines cutting-edge technology with gamer-focused features to deliver an experience that adapts to your needs, not the other way around.
Revolutionary Pay-As-You-Go with Committed Discounts
Say goodbye to wasteful monthly subscriptions. Level 1k introduces a credit-based billing systemthat charges you only for the resources you actually use. Our transparent pricing model includes:
- RAM: 0.415 credits per GB per hour (only while your server is running)
- Storage: Tiered pricing starting at 2.0 credits per GB per month for persistent data
- Committed Spending Discounts: Save up to 15% when you commit to monthly spending tiers
This means you can spin up a high-performance server for a weekend gaming session without paying for an entire month, or scale down during quiet periods to save costs. Our billing system tracks usage hourly and provides detailed cost breakdowns so you always know exactly what you're paying for.
Seamless Game Switching: Your Data, Any Game
Here's where Level 1k truly shines with a feature that's unique in the industry: seamless game switching. Want to switch from Minecraft to Valheim for the weekend? No problem. Planning to try out the latest survival game? We've got you covered.

When you switch games, your previous world data is automatically backed up and safely stored. You can return to any previous game configuration at any time, making Level 1k perfect for communities that enjoy variety or seasonal gaming events.
