+# Hosting Minekube Games on Kubernetes
+
+Kubernetes is the preferred choice for self-hosting or providing Minekube game servers at scale, offering robust management capabilities through the Minekube web dashboard. This section will provide you with the necessary information to deploy and manage your Minekube game servers on Kubernetes, including how to scale up to becoming a provider yourself.
+
+It's no coincidence that we have `kube` in our name!
+
+[[TOC]]
+
+## Why Kubernetes?
+
+Kubernetes is not just about running containers; it's about simplifying complex technology to provide:
+
+- **Scalability**: Effortlessly scale your game servers to meet player demand.
+- **High Availability**: Achieve high availability with Kubernetes' self-healing and automated rollout/rollback capabilities.
+- **Load Balancing**: Efficiently manage traffic distribution across your servers for optimal performance.
+
+## Exclusive Management via Minekube Dashboard
+
+One of the unique advantages of choosing Kubernetes for your game servers is the ability to manage everything through the Minekube web dashboard. This centralized management solution provides:
+
+- **Intuitive Interface**: Easily deploy, monitor, and scale your game servers from a user-friendly web interface.
+- **Full Control**: Manage server configurations, updates, and player access with just a few clicks.
+- **Visibility**: Get insights into your server's performance and usage patterns to make informed decisions.
+
+## Path to Becoming a Provider
+
+By hosting your game servers on Kubernetes, you're already a step ahead in the journey of becoming a provider. With Minekube, you have the option to:
+
+- **Rent Out Your Hardware**: Offer your Kubernetes cluster's resources to host game servers for friends or paying customers.
+- **Expand Your Services**: Grow from hosting servers for personal use to becoming a full-fledged Minekube Games provider.
+
+See the [Providers Documentation](../../providers/) for more information on how you can leverage your Kubernetes setup to start offering services to others and potentially monetize your infrastructure.
+
+## Getting Started with Kubernetes
+
+To launch your Minekube game servers on Kubernetes:
+
+1. **Prepare Your Kubernetes Cluster**: Whether you're setting up a new cluster or using an existing one, ensure it's configured for Minekube Games.
+2. **Deploy Minekube Games**: Use our custom Helm charts or Kubernetes manifests to deploy your game servers with ease.
+3. **Manage with Minekube Dashboard**: Connect your cluster to the Minekube web dashboard for comprehensive management and oversight.
+
+Detailed instructions for each step are provided below, guiding you through the process of deploying and managing your Minekube Games server with Kubernetes.
+
+Embrace the power of Kubernetes and the convenience of the Minekube dashboard to create an unparalleled gaming experience for your community. Whether for personal enjoyment or as a stepping stone to becoming a provider, Kubernetes offers the flexibility and control you need to succeed in the Minekube ecosystem.
