Nonprofit

Our nonprofit status helps us keep our services affordable and accessible. Clients receive periodic reimbursements for excess profit.

How do reimbursements work?

As a nonprofit, Birdflop periodically reimburses clients based on excess profit. At the end of each reimbursement period, active clients receive a reimbursement for excess profit from their plan. These reimbursements are dependent on usage, maximally lowering prices at high service utilization. Last quarter, US clients received a 35% reimbursement and EU clients received a 6% reimbursement, effectively lowering prices to $1.95/GB RAM and $1.88/GB RAM for the US and EU, respectively. Not good enough? Find a competitor with similar specifications and inquire about our price matching.

Where do my payments go?

Birdflop is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with no paid employees or directors. As such, all profit generated is reinvested into improving our services and accomplishing our mission. Your service fees are used for covering our server costs, including building new servers, colocation fees, server rental fees, and software licensing fees. Our quarterly financial report is proudly displayed on the left.

Your payments get you the best possible rate while contributing to the development of our free public resources. We reimburse clients based on excess profit, and we never overload our servers. View our server statistics on the Node Stats page.

Testimonials

Mikkel Hansen

I'm happy with my subscription, providing nearly full system access at a great price point. They've proven to be reliable, trustworthy and transparent. It's clear that actual humans run this place and their support is S tier (if you don't mind the need to be part of their Discord server).

Wizzy SMP

Birdflop is the best Minecraft server hosting out there! Unbeatable pricing (due to their tax-exempt 501(c)3 non-profit status), amazing support on their Discord server and great servers! We have 24/7 access to all stats that we'd need to know like in/out network speed, average CPU usage per node, and a lot more. Birdflop is my recommendation to all my friends!
