First, add your game and versions to deploy via Aethir Atmosphere → Game. A more detailed step-by-step guide can be found [here](https://docs.aethir.com/aethir-cloud-customer-guide/how-to-deploy-your-game-on-aethir-atmosphere/add-game-and-versions).

#### **Step 2: Deploy Your Game with On-demand or Reserved Servers**

There are two types of Aethir Atmosphere cloud gaming servers.

* **On-demand**: more expensive than reserved servers but with the flexibility to only pay for the game rending time when players are playing your game.

To avoid abuse, customers also need to stake a certain amount for the storage needed for game deployment.

* **Reserved**: dedicated Aethir Atmosphere servers for a fixed, renewable contract duration, at a lower price and peace of mind for enough capacity to deploy your games.
