ESN Hosting plans, prices and billing basics
All 22 ESN Hosting plans from $0.50 a month: bot and Minecraft plans, game servers, web hosting and VPS-lite, how checkout and auto-setup work, and current deals.
ESN Hosting has 22 plans: 14 general plans for Discord bots, Telegram bots and Minecraft, 4 game server plans, 1 website and app plan, and 3 VPS-lite plans. Every plan runs on the same panel. Bigger plans give you more RAM, CPU and disk. Paying yearly costs the same as 10 months.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Web | 1 GB | 50% | 8 GB | $1.29 | $12.90 |
ESN Web can be set up as a website (Nginx + PHP), WordPress, a Node.js app or a Python app. You choose at checkout.
VPS-lite plans
| Plan | RAM | CPU | Disk | Monthly | Yearly |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VPS-lite 1GB | 1 GB | 40% | 8 GB | $2.49 | $24.90 |
| VPS-lite 2GB | 2 GB | 60% | 12 GB | $4.49 | $44.90 |
| VPS-lite 4GB | 4 GB | 100% | 20 GB | $7.99 | $79.90 |
VPS-lite is your own Linux container with a shell in the panel Console, plus SFTP for files. It is not a full VPS: there is no root access, so no apt or sudo, no systemd and no Docker.
VPS-lite is sold from its own share of each node, so it can show "Sold out" while other plans are still available.
Prices match the panel's Plans page, which always shows what's available right now. A plan that no node can fit at the moment shows "Sold out" instead of a Buy button.
Which plan do I need?
- Discord and Telegram bots can run on any bot plan. Small bots are fine on Nano or Starter; bots in many servers, or bots that use music or a database, need more RAM.
- Minecraft (Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Vanilla) needs a plan with at least 1 GB of RAM.
- Minecraft (Forge) needs at least 2 GB of RAM.
- Terraria, Factorio, Valheim or Palworld: pick that game's plan.
- A website or a web app: ESN Web.
- A Linux shell to run your own tools: VPS-lite.
How to buy
- Go to panel.esnoffical.com/plans and sign in. New to ESN? Create a free account first.
- Pick what you want to host, then choose Buy on a plan (or the yearly option).
- Pay on Stripe's secure checkout. Your panel email is filled in for you. ESN never sees your card.
- Your server is set up automatically after you pay. It shows up on your panel dashboard within a minute or two.
- You get a "server ready" message by email, and as a Discord DM if your Discord is linked to your panel account. It includes how to sign in to the panel.
Deals
Current deals are shown at the top of the Plans page. At the time of writing they include:
- Buy 2 months, get the 3rd free (on the 14 bot and Minecraft plans)
- Pay yearly: 12 months for the price of 10 (all 22 plans)
- Free upgrade: your first month runs on the next plan up (not on Titan, Gift, game, web or VPS-lite plans)
- Bot + Minecraft bundles: 20% off
- Code SPOOKY30: 30% off your first month (ends October 31, 2026)
SPOOKY30 and referral codes work on all 22 monthly plans. The 3-month deal and bundles work on Nano, Starter, Basic, Plus, Advanced, Pro, Elite, Ultra, Extreme, Titan and Gift. Yearly works on every plan.
Paid but no server?
If your server can't be set up right away, you'll get a message saying your payment went through and staff have been told. Don't pay again. Staff will finish it for you. If you haven't heard anything after a few minutes, open a ticket in the ESN Hosting Discord with your Stripe receipt.
Coming from a free trial
If you buy a plan for the same kind of bot as your trial, your trial server is upgraded instead of a new one being made, so your files stay. See Free trial.
