If you are still testing, monthly is the safer choice. ## How the quarterly plan works[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/minecraft-quarterly-hosting-plan#como-funciona-o-trimestral) Instead of renewing every month, you pay a single invoice that covers 90 days of hosting. At StreetHosting, choosing the quarterly cycle applies a **4% discount** on the monthly price, so in practice you pay less per month, as long as you keep the server active for the period. * One invoice every three months, with no monthly surprises. * An automatic 4% discount compared with the monthly cycle. * The server stays online with no risk of forgetting the renewal. ## Pros and cons[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/minecraft-quarterly-hosting-plan#vantagens-e-desvantagens) The main advantage is predictability: you know the cost of the whole quarter and avoid downtime from a forgotten invoice. The downside is less flexibility if the project changes direction, for example if the community shrinks or you suddenly need a lot more RAM. Do the simple math: multiply the monthly price by three, apply the 4% discount and compare it with what you would spend testing smaller plans for a month before committing to the quarter. ## When it is worth it[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/minecraft-quarterly-hosting-plan#quando-vale-a-pena) 1. Your server has been running stably for at least two weeks. 2. You have settled on RAM, plugins and an average player count. 3. The community has staying power (regular friends, a season, a project). 4. You want to avoid renewing manually every month. * Test the monthly plan before your first quarter. * Confirm that your current RAM handles player peaks. * Turn on automatic backups before committing to a long cycle. * Keep the payment receipt for your financial records.

At StreetHosting, the quarterly cycle applies a 4% discount on the equivalent monthly price. You pay for three months at once and save compared with paying month by month. Can I change plans in the middle of the quarter? Yes, RAM or resource upgrades are usually possible through the control panel. The difference is prorated for the time left in the cycle. Is quarterly better than monthly for beginners? Only after you have tested the server for a few weeks. If you are still experimenting with RAM and plugins, monthly gives you more flexibility to adjust without a long commitment.
