The server stays up when your computer is off.

Port forwarding

No router settings to change.

DDoS worries

Omne-Shield protection is included.

Manual backups

Scheduled backups with one-click restore.

IP addresses

A free subdomain gives friends a name to join.

Bring your world with you

Already running at home? Moving it over is easy.
