GAME HOSTING / LOOMNODE

Your own server,
on RAM nobody else is using.

Game servers on machines I own, never oversold. Paid in bitcoin by the day or week, with no account and nothing to cancel.

02 / PUBLIC SERVERS

Try it first.

Free public servers to try first, on the same machines and plans you'd rent. They're anarchy servers: no rules, no moderation, and the world gets wiped whenever it gets out of hand. Players can say and build anything, so they're best for 18 and over. To report something illegal, email support@loomnode.cloud. Public server rules.

DON'T STARVE TOGETHEROPEN

Public Don't Starve Together

Steam, five worlds, one per playstyle, all with caves: Survival, Endless (the world never resets), Lights Out (always night), Relaxed (hunger, cold, heat and darkness can't kill) and Wilderness (no portal, a random start, and dying means a new character). No password, up to 6 players each.

03 / WHAT YOU GET

What you pay for
is what you get.

Most budget hosts oversell. It works until everyone logs on at once. Here, a server only goes on a machine with room for all of it.

05 / PAYING

Buy time.
Not a subscription.

  1. 01
    Pick a game and a size. Sign in with a passkey (Face ID or a fingerprint), a Lightning wallet or a bitcoin address. That’s your login: no email, no password.
  2. 02
    Pay in bitcoin over Lightning. What arrives becomes your server’s balance, in sats: pay less and it lasts less. A new server is set up once a day’s worth is in.
  3. 03
    The balance counts down from when your game first comes up, running or stopped. Setting up and waiting for room are free. Anyone can add more at any time.
  4. 04
    At zero, the server stops. Top up within 7 days and it starts right back up. After that your files are kept but its room on the machine can go to someone else. After 30 days it’s deleted. A server that has had less than a week paid in total gets 1 day and 7 days instead, and one with less than 3 days paid is deleted an hour after it runs out.

New to bitcoin? Here’s how to sign in and pay, step by step, from Cash App.

Resizing is free. Your balance stays the same; it just lasts longer or shorter.

Price cuts reach your balance right away. An invoice’s amount never changes once it’s made.

Sent sats are spent sats. Deleting early isn’t a refund: the time left is lost. To stop paying, just let it run out.
