The Minecraft Redstone Update (1.5) has been released.

All Vanilla gameservers are automatically updated to 1.5. If you do not wish that you can disable the auto-update feature in the webinterface menu "Console and settings".

We'll provide the Bukkit update as soon there is at least a beta version available. We won't offer updates to development builds, since they often are very unstable and also can cause damage to your map. Of course you can update to a development build at your own risk at any time by yourself.

Servers for "Primal Carnage" are now available for every gameserver product and can be installed in the webinterface.

Servers for "Chivalry: Medieval Warfare" are now available for every gameserver product and can be installed in the webinterface.

Because of the release of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Nitrado is cutting the prices for all non Minecraft servers.

The new gameserver "Publicserver Basic" will provide all games except Minecraft, Terraria and Ace Of Spades.

The password protected "Clanserver" has been replaced by the new product "Publicserver Basic" which has more features and a massive lower price.

For all customers: The Clanservers were upgraded to the "Publicserver Basic" for free.

For Minecraft, Terraria and Ace Of Spades nothing has been changed.

As introductory offer of the "Publicserver Basic" and because of the release of the brand new Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Nitrado provides a "12 Slot Publicserver Basic" with a duration of 30 days for only 4 Euro. This offer is limited to 1000 servers.

The ordered server will be online instantly.

Important note: The "Publicserver Basic" does not support Minecraft, Terraria or Ace Of Spades!
