Unturned Server Hosting: dedicated server from $2.30/mo

The best Unturned server host gives you full control over Commands.dat and Config.txt, SFTP access to your files, backups, and lets you change plan without losing anything as the server grows. Our four Unturned hosting plans tick all of these, from $2.30 to $17.38 per month, with support that answers 24/7.

The game is free, and so is its dedicated server: you can install it at home. But a server that stays on around the clock is not free. It takes a machine running day and night, a connection that holds and time to maintain it. We offer neither free Unturned server hosting nor a free trial. With us, an Unturned server starts at $2.30 per month, with no commitment, anti-DDoS and backups.

With a host like OuiHeberg, choose a plan and a country, then pay. The official dedicated server is installed for you, with no Steam account to provide. Then set the map and the number of players in the OuiPanel variables, start the server, and join it from the game.Read the setup guide →

The official dedicated server installs by itself after payment, with no account to connect. It is ready within a few minutes.

Unturned multiplayer is played in co-op or PvP. With a dedicated server, the world stays open to your friends even when you are offline, without leaving your PC on. A password keeps the server private to your group. With us, the server is private by default. Start it, read the server code in the OuiPanel console and give it to your friends: they enter it in the game's direct connection menu. The code changes at every start.

No, not to install it. The Unturned dedicated server is a separate tool that Smartly Dressed Games distributes with no Steam account and no purchase. A Steam account is only needed to create the GSLT, if you want to appear in the public server list. Each player needs Unturned, which is free on Steam.

The GSLT, short for Game Server Login Token, makes your server appear in the game's public server list. You create it yourself on Steam's game server account management page, with a Steam account that is not limited. It is tied to your account: we cannot create it for you. With us, the token is optional. Without it, the server starts as a private server, outside the public list: your friends join with the server code shown in the OuiPanel console, entered in the game's direct connection menu. This code changes at every start. For a public server, paste your token into the Steam game server login token (GSLT) variable, then restart. If Steam rejects the token, the server stops and the console tells you why.

The maximum number of players is set in the OuiPanel variables, from 1 to 200, and is 24 by default. It is a setting, not a capacity guaranteed by the plan. Our plans are not sold per slot: the price depends on memory, and what the server really handles depends on the memory of your plan, the map, mods and plugins.

The developer gives no official server requirements for the dedicated server. The need depends on the map, Workshop mods, plugins and the number of players. Our plans go from 2 to 8 GB: start small and move up when needed, without losing data.

The common settings are in OuiPanel, Configuration › Server settings › Environment variables: Server name, Server password, Map, Maximum players, Difficulty, Perspective, PvE mode (no combat between players) and Steam game server login token (GSLT). They are written to Commands.dat at every start: change them in the panel, not in the file. The game's advanced settings are in Config.txt, which opens in the file manager or over SFTP. The server password is generated at delivery, 16 characters long; you can change it or clear it for a game without a password. The other lines you add to Commands.dat are kept from one start to the next.Read the SFTP guide →

In the Map variable in OuiPanel: enter the name of the map, then restart the server. PEI is the default map, and official maps ship with the server. A Workshop map is first added by its ID in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json.

Yes. Steam Workshop mods and maps are declared in the WorkshopDownloadConfig.json file, by their ID. The server downloads and updates them when it starts, then each player gets them when joining. You edit this file yourself, from the file manager or over SFTP. We tested it on our servers with a Workshop map: it is downloaded at the next start. We do not provide support for mods.Read the mods guide →

RocketMod is the long-standing plugin framework for Unturned. The original project was discontinued, and the game's developer maintains its own version, compatible with Rocket plugins. We do not provide support for third-party plugins: make a backup before adding one. On our servers, RocketMod is installed with the server and loaded at startup. You upload your plugins over SFTP to the server's Rocket/Plugins folder.

In three ways, according to the developer's documentation. The Owner command followed by your Steam ID in Commands.dat, the Admin command while the server is running, or the Adminlist.dat file, which lists the Steam IDs of the administrators.

An admin types server commands in the game chat, starting with a slash. The most useful are Kick and Ban to remove a player, Admin and Unadmin for rights, Save to save the world and Shutdown to stop the server. Cheat commands such as Give require the Cheats setting.Read the commands guide →

Yes. Commands typed in the OuiPanel console are taken by the server, without a slash: save saves the world, players lists who is connected.

Yes. The server and the players must run the same version of Unturned. The game is updated often: after an update, the server must be updated too before your players can join.

Yes. BattlEye, the game's anti-cheat, initializes when the server starts, with nothing for you to set up.

No. The official Unturned dedicated server exists for Linux, and that is the version we host. You have nothing to install at home: everything is managed in OuiPanel, from your browser.

Two consecutive UDP ports. The first answers server list queries, the second carries game traffic.

OuiPanel makes backups of your server, on demand or scheduled, every night for example. Start keeps 2, Plus 3, Pro 5 and Ultra 10. These backups are light: they keep your world and your settings, without the game files. A backup is restored from the Backups tab, and the game downloads itself again at the next start. The world itself is saved automatically by RocketMod, installed with the server: every 10 minutes by default, and at every stop. The interval is set in the Automatic save (minutes) variable in OuiPanel, and 0 turns this save off. If you remove RocketMod, this automatic save stops; the server still saves the world at every stop.

Stopping from OuiPanel saves the world before closing the server. At the next start, you pick up where you left off.

Yes. Every server is protected by our network's anti-DDoS, up to 3 Tbps, at no extra cost.

In Marseille, Frankfurt, New York, Beauharnois in Canada and Sydney in Australia. Start, Plus and Pro are available everywhere, Ultra everywhere except Australia, at the same price. Choose the country closest to your players.

Yes. Moving up a plan resizes your server without reinstalling or losing data, in the same country. Useful when you add mods or your community grows.

Yes. We also host DayZ, 7 Days to Die and Project Zomboid servers, in the same countries.See DayZ servers →

Get a OuiBox. It groups several servers, Unturned, DayZ, Minecraft or Rust, and shares its memory between them.See the OuiBox plans →
