FACTORIO

Yes, you can upload an existing save file and continue playing on the server. Use the file manager in the control panel to upload your `.zip` save.

Yes, mods from mods.factorio.com can be installed easily. All players need the same mods and the same mod versions to connect.

Factorio is extremely resource-friendly. 2 GB RAM is sufficient for most factories and player counts. Very large megabases with many players benefit from 4 GB RAM.

Factorio multiplayer scales very well — dozens of players are no problem. Performance depends more on factory size and entity count than on the number of players.

Typical initial setup: about 4 minutes. Queues or large installations can take longer.

Yes, you can enable both a password and a whitelist in the Factorio server configuration. With password protection only players who know the password can connect. The whitelist lets you specify exactly which players (by Steam username) are allowed to join — ideal for private rounds with your community.

Yes. Every server includes a subdomain like my-server.gs.game-serverhosting.com, and you can change it anytime in the dashboard.

For every server you enable Uptime Kuma (server monitoring) and Game Server Watcher (server status in Discord/Telegram) with one click in the dashboard at no extra cost, plus one bot such as Sinusbot (music bot for Discord/TeamSpeak). Every additional bot costs extra.

Typical initial setup: about 4 minutes. Queues or large installations can take longer. Setup creates the subdomain and DNS records automatically, and for Minecraft also accepts the EULA and installs Geyser.

There is no long-term minimum. Billing is a monthly subscription and automatic renewal can be disabled. Longer terms may qualify for discounts.

You choose the location at checkout: Germany (Falkenstein and Limburg) or France (Roubaix) — all in the EU, connected to the major European exchanges. Low pings for players across Germany, Austria and Switzerland at both locations, and solid latency for the rest of Europe.

The best provider is the one that shows you what you get before you pay: RAM, slots, location, price and cancellation terms. Here the price and resources are visible in the configurator before checkout, there is no minimum term and setup is automated — feel free to compare that with other offers. Factorio starts here at 2.69 EUR per month, and setup typically takes about 4 minutes.

Self-hosting costs power, time and a machine that runs around the clock; port forwarding, updates and backups are on you. A rented server is online within minutes, keeps running when your PC is off, and updates and backups are included; data-center DDoS protection is included at every location. For one or two friends on a single evening self-hosting is often fine — for a persistent world, renting pays off.

Yes, you can do it yourself in the customer area using a slider. An upgrade takes effect immediately: you only pay the prorated difference for the remaining term, and the new price applies from the next renewal. A downgrade takes effect on the next renewal date. Your world, settings and subdomain are kept, and depending on the game, a restart is required afterwards. With monthly payment and a minimum term, the change is only possible once that term has ended, and for games with a slot-based plan it is not available.
