Launch checklist FAQ
Should I use a preview before paid hosting?
Use a preview to validate control-panel flows, logs, settings, and owner handoff before paying for persistent direct game ports.
When is paid hosting the right next step?
Paid hosting makes sense when the group needs a stable game address, real TCP or UDP ports, backups, and persistent capacity.
