Billing and credit card details

Once your account is ready you can immediately start to use the dashboard, edit your details, create new apps and so on, but in order to launch new servers you will also need to input your invoicing and credit card details.

billing warning

When you see this warning at the top of server launch page, make sure to follow the links and fill in the details. This will only take a minute and it's just required once, in order to complete your profile and be ready to launch servers.

NOTE: once a payment method is configured we're not going to charge any money until you decide to launch a new server, in which case you will be able to review the fees and confirm the launch before a transaction is made.
