You get the control panel right away and can invite friends. ## Short answer: 60 seconds[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/minecraft-server-setup-time#resposta-curta) Forget opening a ticket, waiting for staff to build a machine and getting an IP the next day. The StreetHosting flow was built for people who want to play today: you pick the plan, pay, and in about a minute the server is online. That time covers the automatic creation of the instance, the base Minecraft install and the release of the control panel. You do not need any technical knowledge at any step. ## Activation step by step[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/minecraft-server-setup-time#passo-a-passo) 1. Choose Party, Plus, SMP or Pro on the [Minecraft Fácil](https://streethosting.com.br/en/minecraft-facil#planos) page. 2. Finish checkout with your details and payment method. 3. Wait for the payment confirmation (instant in most cases). 4. Receive the email with control panel access and the server address. 5. Join the game and test it. Your friends can connect right away. While the server spins up, use the time to agree with your friends on which Minecraft version you will use. Everyone has to be on the same version to join. ## Payment and confirmation time[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/minecraft-server-setup-time#formas-de-pagamento) The bottleneck is almost never StreetHosting. It is the payment confirmation. Here is what to expect: * **Credit card:** instant approval in most cases. Server online in about 60 seconds. * **PIX:** confirmation in seconds. Same fast flow. * **Boleto (bank slip):** clearing takes up to 1 business day. The server comes online automatically once the bank confirms. If you paid by boleto, the server will not exist until the payment clears. That is normal, not a system failure. ## What to do once it is ready[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/minecraft-server-setup-time#depois-de-pronto) With the server online, the next step is inviting your crew. Copy the address (IP or subdomain) shown in the control panel and send it on Discord or WhatsApp. Nobody needs to configure a router. * Log in to the control panel using the email you received. * Copy the server address to share. * Test joining on your own before calling everyone. * Set up a whitelist if you want to control who can join. For the step-by-step on invitations, see [how to invite friends to your Minecraft server](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/invite-friends-to-minecraft-server).

No. Activation is automatic as soon as the system confirms the payment. Does PIX take longer than a card? PIX usually confirms in seconds. Boleto can take up to one business day, and the server only comes online after the payment clears. Do I get an email with the access details? Yes. You receive the control panel credentials and can see the server address as soon as the instance is online.
