Rent an Insurgency: Sandstorm Server

Insurgency: Sandstorm supports up to 28 players on a dedicated server. For competitive matches with 10–14 players, 4 GB RAM is sufficient. For a full 28-player server we recommend 6 GB RAM.

Insurgency: Sandstorm (2018) is the full reboot of the series by New World Interactive. Unreal Engine 4, modernised graphics, new gamemodes (Frontline, Hardcore), a cosmetics system, and active ongoing development. Insurgency 2014 runs on the older Source Engine. Sandstorm is the currently active entry in the series.

Insurgency: Sandstorm offers Push, Frontline, Firefight, Domination, Hardpoint, Skirmish, and Outpost. Cooperative mode against AI is also available. Custom gamemodes via Mod.io are possible.

Not via the dashboard yet: Insurgency: Sandstorm uses Mod.io for community mods, but our Sandstorm server has no mod integration for it yet. We therefore don't offer one-click mod installation at the moment.

Typical initial setup: about 4 minutes. Queues or large installations can take longer. Configure server name, map, gamemode, and max players in the control panel. Your server appears automatically in the community browser.

No, the dedicated server installs via anonymous SteamCMD — no Steam account required. Only players need a copy of Insurgency: Sandstorm (AppID 581330) on Steam.

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. Insurgency: Sandstorm starts here at 5.99 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.
