Actually, neither is correct.

A paid server is one that has been paid.
A paying server is one that pays you.

A pay server would be one that you have to pay to use. Compare to a pay telephone or a pay toilet.

A paid server is used for websites in contrast with free server, where the site pay for their hosting.
