Hi Product Hunt, I’m the founder of Ephemeralhost in Berlin. I built it for groups who want their own game server without paying for a full month when they only play on some evenings. With Ephemeralhost, you start a server in the browser or with a Discord command, pay per minute from prepaid credit, and it pauses itself after inactivity while the world stays saved. We support 20 games including Palworld, Valheim, Enshrouded, Minecraft, Rust and Counter-Strike 2. If you want to try it, I’d start by creating a server and launching it from the browser or Discord to see the flow. If you run a community, I’d also love feedback on the streamer and event features like sub-only servers, creator codes and the event pass. I’m especially interested in this: what would make pay-per-minute hosting feel simpler or more trustworthy for your group?
