Free vs Premium Tiers
At Zampto, we believe everyone should be able to run servers easily β whether you're experimenting with a small project or hosting something more serious.
Thatβs why we offer free and premium tiers:
- π Free Tier β perfect for testing, learning, and small projects

Below is a detailed comparison to help you understand the differences.

π Free Tier
The Free Tier is designed for users who want to experiment, test software, or run small servers without paying anything.
It includes:
- Free compute resources
- Small but usable server limits
- Access to the platform and control panel
- Basic backups and networking
Because the resources are shared, manual renewals are required to ensure that inactive servers do not consume system capacity.
Server creation is also handled through the Global Free Tier Queue, meaning deployments may take longer during periods of high demand.
π Premium Tier
The Premium Tier unlocks the full potential of the platform.
Premium resources provide:
- Significantly more Memory (RAM) and CPU
- Access to high-performance nodes
- No renewals required
- Much larger storage limits
- More servers, ports, and backups
- No ads
- Faster support
- Priority server creation via the Premium Queue
- Access to all available server types
Premium is ideal for:
- Game servers
- Communities
- Hosting projects
- Production services
- High-traffic applications
β‘ Which One Should You Choose?
Choose Free if you:
- Are testing or learning
- Need a temporary server
- Run small projects
- Want to try the platform before upgrading
Choose Premium if you:
- Need stable uptime
- Want better performance
- Run public or production servers
- Want no renewals or ads
- Want faster server deployments
β Tip: Many users start with Free Tier and upgrade later once their project grows.
π Upgrade to Premium
Want more performance, resources, and fewer limitations?
π Upgrade to Premium to unlock faster nodes, more Memory (RAM), higher CPU limits, additional storage, and priority server creation.
