Managed Game Server Hosting

Available game servers

A managed home for the games your group returns to

Choose a supported title and tell us how your group plays. We confirm the edition, practical fit, compatibility and current availability before provisioning.

Availability is confirmed before launch. Palworld capacity is limited and available by inquiry. Support for every title remains subject to current game versions and technical compatibility.

Optional services

Add help where your world needs it

Start with managed hosting, then add technician time or capacity only where the game, save or community actually requires it.

World or save migration

Technician-assisted migration of a compatible existing world or save, with the source and target reviewed before work begins.

Mod or plugin setup

Installation of a supported preassembled modpack or basic plugin collection, with advanced configuration scoped separately.

Additional memory or storage

Capacity can be increased for eligible servers when observed use, world growth or a supported extension requires it.

Extended backup retention

Keep scheduled recovery points beyond the standard retention period for one hosted game server.

Priority support

Priority queueing for supported game-server configuration and operational requests.

Before we provision

Straight answers about fit and responsibility

  • Every player supplies a properly licensed, compatible game client; hosting does not include game licenses.
  • Published player counts are planning guidelines, not guarantees. World complexity, mods, plugins, simulation settings and game updates can change practical capacity.
  • Mods, plugins and migrated saves must be compatible with the selected game and server version. Compatibility work beyond the agreed setup is separately scoped.
  • Player moderation, cheat investigations, custom code and custom mod or plugin development are excluded unless a separate written scope includes them.
Service scope

What this engagement covers

Managed Game Server Hosting covers provisioning and operation of one supported dedicated game-server instance, including the agreed game edition, routine server maintenance, administrative access, restart protection and scheduled backups. We confirm the title, expected player group, world or save requirements and any mods or plugins before provisioning so the service is sized and scoped honestly.

What you receive

A ready-to-join server

The supported game server is provisioned, configured and tested with an agreed server name or subdomain and a clear handoff for joining and administration.

Direct operational control

A browser-based panel provides routine administration, with console and file or SFTP access supplied where the title and configuration support it.

Managed operational safeguards

Routine server updates, detected-crash restart and scheduled daily backups support ongoing operation without pretending every game or mod behaves identically.

Delivery

How this service is delivered

  1. Confirm the game and workload

    We review the edition, expected players, world history, extensions and administrative needs, then confirm current support and availability.

  2. Provision and test

    The server is configured, updated and checked for connectivity, administrative access, restart behavior and backup operation before handoff.

  3. Operate within the agreed boundary

    We maintain the hosted service and respond to supported operational requests; material changes, migrations and extension work are approved as separate options.

Best fit

When to choose this service

  • A family, friend group or community wants a persistent world without leaving a personal computer running.
  • The server owner wants panel access and day-to-day control with routine platform work handled by a technical team.
  • A current compatible world or save needs a planned move instead of an improvised file copy.
  • The group wants a named, accountable provider that will explain limits and availability before launch.
