Garry's Mod Server Hosting
Garry's Mod is a physics sandbox. There aren't any predefined aims or goals. We give you the tools and leave you to play. You spawn objects and weld them together to create your own contraptions - whether that's a car, a rocket, a catapult or something that doesn't have a name yet - that's up to you. You can do it offline, or join the thousands of players who play online each day.

Why host your own Garry's Mod server?
Garry's Mod is whatever its server says it is: a DarkRP city, a TTT round, a Prop Hunt lobby, a sandbox for building contraptions with friends. A server of your own runs the gamemode you want, with the addons you pick, around the clock, under rules you set. Workshop collections mean your players download everything automatically the moment they join.
Our GMod hosting runs on AMD Ryzen CPUs with fast single cores, which is what the Source engine wants, with NVMe storage and VibeSHIELD DDoS protection. The control panel gives you the console, a file manager, SFTP and the startup settings for the gamemode, map and Workshop collection. The server is online within minutes of ordering.
Which Garry's Mod plan do you need?
GMod is light on memory and heavy on one CPU core, and what loads the core is addons, props and Lua, more than raw player count:
Sandbox and friends: Gmod I
2 GB for a sandbox, Prop Hunt or Murder server for up to 16 to 24 players with a modest addon collection.
TTT and small roleplay: Gmod II
3 GB and two threads for TTT or a starting DarkRP with 24 to 48 players and a bigger Workshop collection.
DarkRP and large servers: Gmod III
4 GB and two threads for busy roleplay with heavy addons, custom content and 48 to 128 players, the game's maximum. Upgrading keeps your files.
Gamemodes, Workshop addons and admin tools
Your server is a normal SRCDS Garry's Mod server with full file access, so everything the community has built works.
Any gamemode
DarkRP, TTT, Sandbox, Prop Hunt, Murder, Jailbreak, StarWarsRP, MilitaryRP and custom gamemodes: set the gamemode and start map in the startup settings and restart.
Workshop collections
Paste your Steam Workshop collection ID into the startup settings and the server downloads every addon in it; players get them automatically on join. Add or remove addons by editing the collection.
ULX, permissions and data
Install ULX and ULib for admin ranks and commands, use FAdmin or SAM if you prefer, and pair DarkRP with a MySQL database through MySQLOO when you want persistent data across restarts.
Garry's Mod server locations worldwide
Low ping is half the fun. Our Garry's Mod servers run in 15 datacenters across Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Oceania and Africa, every one on the same AMD Ryzen hardware with NVMe storage and behind VibeSHIELD, our own DDoS protection network with 17 Tb/s of mitigation capacity. You pick the location at checkout, and the latency checker below shows your real ping to each one before you order.
Outgrown your first choice? Our team moves your server to another location on request, with your files intact, so the location you start in is never a lock-in.
Your first steps after ordering
The server is delivered installed and running Sandbox. Getting your own server live takes a few steps:
- 1Enter a Steam account token so the server is listedHelp centre
- 2Set the gamemode and start map in the startup settings
- 3Add your Workshop collection ID
- 4Install ULX and make yourself superadmin
- 5Set the hostname, password and rcon in server.cfg
- 6Restart from the panel and join from the server browser
Switching from another Garry's Mod host?
A GMod server is its garrysmod folder: addons, the data folder with your ULX ranks and gamemode data, the cfg folder and the lua you added. Upload it over SFTP, enter the same Workshop collection and gamemode in the startup settings, restart, and your server is back with its ranks and settings.
- 1
Download your addons, data folder and cfg files from the old host
- 2
Upload them over SFTP and set the same gamemode and collection
- 3
Export and import the MySQL database if your gamemode uses one
