Animated example of Kowalski at work: a customer asks for a world reset that keeps the plugins; Kowalski checks the server, lists the plugins, stops the server, deletes the world after a confirmation, starts it again, reads the log and reports the result.

Runs your server,
not just explains it

Kowalski reads your logs, edits configs, installs plugins from Modrinth, fixes ports, resets worlds while keeping your plugins, restarts and checks the result. Every change is shown to you first, and nothing runs without your OK.

Frequently asked questions

What makes PenguHost different from other game server hosts?

Three things. Kowalski, an AI agent that works on your server for you: it installs and configures plugins, fixes crashes from the log and can even code custom plugins. Pay per resource: you choose RAM, CPU, storage and backups separately instead of fixed bundles. And no contract: you prepay days, from €2.73 per 30 days for a small Minecraft server.

Which games can I host?

Minecraft (Paper, Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, Bedrock), Rust, Valheim, Palworld, 7 Days to Die, Satisfactory, ARK: Survival Evolved, ARK: Survival Ascended, Hytale and Discord bots (Node.js, Python).

How does billing work?

You top up your account balance or pay directly when you order. A server runs for the days you bought (30, 90 or 365; the longer, the cheaper). Auto-renewal from your balance is optional. There is no subscription and no minimum term.

What is Kowalski?

Kowalski is our AI assistant. On the website it answers questions; inside the game panel it is an agent that acts on your server: reading logs, editing configs, installing plugins and mods, restarting, and running scripts in a sandbox. It asks before every change unless you switch on auto mode. Every account gets 400 free AI credits a month. See what Kowalski can do

Where are the servers located?

In Germany on our own AMD Ryzen hardware with NVMe storage, connected through Frankfurt am Main, powered by solar energy. GDPR applies, and the website uses no tracking cookies.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, giropay, Revolut Pay, Amazon Pay, Link and your account balance. Prices are in euros; you can switch the site to US dollars.

Can you move my server from another host?

Yes, for free: worlds, plugins, mods and configs, usually the same day. How the free migration works
