Getting Started with 8Bit Hosting

Welcome to 8Bit Hosting! This guide walks you through the three steps from order to playing.

1. Pick your game and plan

Head to 8bit-hosting.com and choose your game. Not sure which plan fits? Try a free 2-hour trial first, no card needed. When you're ready, click Get Started, create an account and pay. Your server is provisioned automatically within seconds.

2. Log in to the panel

Your welcome email contains a link to panel.8bit-hosting.com. Log in with the credentials you set at checkout. You'll land on the server list, click Manage server to open your server.
