How it works

Your server is not on the internet.

Most hosts give your server a public IP. We do not open the port at all.

  1. 01We build it

    We will set your server up on South African hardware, with console, files and backups from the first minute.

  2. 02You invite people

    Add players by email. Remove someone and their access is gone immediately.

  3. 03Nobody else gets in

    No public port to find, scan or attack. Your server is on no list, because it cannot be reached.

Measured on Steam

The games people are actually playing.

Peak concurrent players across the catalogue, measured rather than estimated. Bars are to scale, so a game almost nobody plays looks like one.

Sizes and add ons

4 GB10 private players

67 of our 112 games run on this size. Every plan is private by default. Prices are set when ordering opens.

Where it is

One country. No region picker.

A twelve location map is what you build when the local market is an afterthought. South African players have spent years on European servers. There is nothing to pick here, on purpose.

Questions

The answers you actually want.

Do my friends need to install anything?
Yes, one small client, once. They sign in, install it, and your server appears. After that it is the same as joining any other server.
Why is there no public IP?
Because a public IP is what gets your server scanned, griefed and DDoSed. Private access removes the target instead of selling you protection for it.
How many people can play?
The player count listed on each size is what you get, from five on the smallest plan up to twenty on the largest. We do not sell you a server and then sell you the people on it.
What does shared fair use CPU actually mean?
You are not buying dedicated cores. Plans are sized for vanilla and light modded servers. If your server starts affecting other people on the node we will talk to you about a bigger plan.
Can I order right now?
Not yet. Ordering is in development and opens later, so nothing on this site takes payment.
