Frequently asked questions
Can I host TTT (Trouble in Terrorist Town) on a GMod server?
TTT (Trouble in Terrorist Town) runs alongside DarkRP, Sandbox, PropHunt, Murder, Cinema, Deathrun and more — set the active gamemode via the server config. Custom gamemodes are also possible.
Does Steam Workshop work?
Yes, you can create Workshop Collections and distribute add-ons to players automatically. Enter your Collection ID in the server config and players' clients sync the content on connect.
How do I set up FastDL?
FastDL is not preconfigured: enter the address of your web storage as sv_downloadurl in server.cfg. Without FastDL, players download custom content (maps, models, sounds) more slowly through the game itself; addons from your Workshop collection come via Steam instead.
How much RAM do I need and how many players fit?
RAM needs depend heavily on the gamemode and add-ons: Sandbox and PropHunt run well on 3–4 GB, while an add-on-heavy DarkRP server with 32+ players benefits from 6–8 GB. More active Workshop add-ons means more RAM required.
How do I set up admin rights (ULX)?
Via ULX and ULib — the standard admin mod for Garry's Mod. Upload both as add-ons and add your SteamID as superadmin. You then get an in-game admin menu for kick/ban, group permissions, map changes, and more.
How do I get started after ordering?
Typical initial setup: about 5 minutes. Queues or large installations can take longer. Set your gamemode, Workshop Collection ID, and ULX admin password in the control panel. Players connect via the in-game server browser using your subdomain.
Do I get my own subdomain?
Yes. Every server includes a subdomain like my-server.gs.game-serverhosting.com, and you can change it anytime in the dashboard.
What are the free extras?
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.
How quickly is my server online?
Typical initial setup: about 5 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.
Is there a minimum contract term?
There is no long-term minimum. Billing is a monthly subscription and automatic renewal can be disabled. Longer terms may qualify for discounts.
Are the servers located in Germany?
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.
Which provider is best for my server?
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. Garry's Mod starts here at 4.05 EUR per month, and setup typically takes about 5 minutes.
Should I host the server myself or rent one?
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.
Can I increase or decrease the RAM later?
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.
