Unturned Server Hosting

Check a few things: enough player slots and fast CPUs for your community, a location near your players, easy Workshop mods and Rocket or OpenMod plugins, automatic backups, and a way to add your Steam login token so the server is listed. A free trial lets you test the connection before you pay. Our servers have all of these, with 20 locations and a 48-hour free trial.

Only if you want your server on the Internet server list: Unturned hides servers without one. Create a token at steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers with app ID 304930 (your Steam account needs a phone number), then paste it into Login_Token in the server's config file. Our GSLT guide has the steps.

Add each mod's Workshop file ID to File_IDs in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json and restart. The server downloads the mods and keeps them updated, and players get them when they join. For a map, also put its name on the Map line of Commands.dat. See our mods guide and custom map guide. Smartly Dressed Games has warned about malicious Workshop content, so only install mods you trust.

Yes. Install Rocket (Legally Distinct Missile, the version Smartly Dressed Games maintains), OpenMod, or OpenMod with Rocket support from the Mod Manager, then upload plugins to the Plugins folder. OpenMod works alongside Rocket, so you can run plugins for both. See our OpenMod guide and compatibility note.

Put your Steam64 ID in the Owner setting of Commands.dat in our config editor, enable cheats if you want admin commands such as Give, and restart. With Rocket installed, add yourself to an admin group in Permissions.config.xml. Our admin guide covers both.

The vanilla Unturned server has no autosave: it saves with the Save command or when it shuts down safely. Installing Rocket from the Mod Manager turns on automatic saving, as in our auto-save guide. Nightly offsite backups are included on every plan as well.

Our plans come with 10 or 50 player slots, and a Custom server can have 100. Set MaxPlayers in Commands.dat to match. If a full server starts to lag, raise the CPU priority or move to Extreme hardware at checkout.

Not usually. A game server comes ready to run Unturned, with the Gamepanel, Mod Manager, backups and support included. If you want a whole machine to install and manage yourself, we also offer Windows and Linux VPS.

Yes. Smartly Dressed Games released the game's source code on 7 July 2026 and said it plans to keep maintaining the Steam version, and patches have continued since (3.26.3.13 on 30 September 2026). Update your server from the Gamepanel so it matches your players' version.

Yes. Delete the map's folder to wipe buildings and barricades, the Players folder to wipe player data, or both for a full wipe, as in our wipe guide. Nightly backups mean you can roll back if you change your mind.

Plans start from $5.44/month for 10 players. For 50 players it's $23.25/month with NVMe Pro storage and Above Normal CPU priority, or $26.32/month with High CPU priority. Every plan is also available on our Extreme hardware, and all of them come with a 48-hour free trial.
