Compatibility

Chernarus, Livonia or whatever the Workshop is running

Swap the map, install Workshop mods and rewrite the loot economy from the panel. Persistence survives every restart and every mod change.

Official

Chernarus

The 225 km² original. The map everyone knows and the one most servers still run.

Official

Livonia

Denser forest and tighter fights. Included at no extra cost, one click to switch.

Community

Namalsk · Deer Isle

The big community maps, installed straight from the Workshop with their mods pulled in.

Economy

types.xml

Edit spawn rates, loot tables and lifetimes with a validator that catches broken XML before it kills the server.

Getting started

Your server standing in four steps

No setup fee. Mods and map weigh more than player count, so size for what you plan to install.

  1. 1

    Size for your mods

    Vanilla Chernarus is light. A modded community map with a full mod list is a different server entirely.

  2. 2

    Choose the city

    Miami, New York or Los Angeles, free to change later.

  3. 3

    Install the Workshop list

    Paste the mod IDs and the panel pulls them, orders the load and keeps them updated.

  4. 4

    Tune the economy

    Set loot rates and restart schedule. Persistence and backups run on their own from there.

Our network

Three locations — pick the one that gives your players the lowest ping

We host in premium United States data centres, on both coasts and the southeast. Measure the latency from your own connection before you order anything.

Sentrix Shield

Stay online whatever happens

Sentrix Shield is our own anti-DDoS infrastructure — our hardware, our rules, our engineers. Filtering runs at layers 3, 4 and 7 on every plan, with no attack cap and no surcharge when it is your turn.

Layer 3 · volumetric

Amplification and reflection floods absorbed at our own edge, before they reach the node your server runs on.

Layer 4 · state exhaustion

SYN floods and half-open connection attacks stopped with SYN cookies and rate limits tuned per protocol.

Layer 7 · application

Bots that imitate real game clients, caught by per-game fingerprint rules. This is the layer generic providers miss.
