6 GB runs a small alliance galaxy, 8 GB with 4 cores is the sweet spot for ten to fifteen pilots, and 16 GB or 24 GB keeps many simultaneously loaded sectors responsive on public servers.

Avorion loads each active sector with its own simulation work and writes galaxy data constantly, so core count, DDR5 ECC capacity and NVMe throughput all earn their place on this game.
The server is deployed automatically at checkout, so seed selection and the first jump into the outer ring happen the same evening.
Instant setup · Live console
Set the galaxy seed, sector size, difficulty and block limits by editing the server configuration straight from the panel.
File manager · SFTP access · Version changer
Up to 5 cores of Ryzen 9 with DDR5 ECC memory carry the parallel sector simulation that busy galaxies depend on.
5 cores at 12 GB · Ryzen 9 · NVMe SSD
Slots are never metered or sold separately, so an alliance can recruit freely without a billing change for each new captain.
Unlimited slots · Player management
Every server includes DDoS protection at no extra cost, so an attack does not strand your fleet mid-operation.
Included free · Always on
Host from Miami, Dallas, New York City, San Jose, Ashburn, Salt Lake City, Toronto, Brussels or Frankfurt to suit your crew's map.

A galaxy seed defines the layout your server will live with: where the rich rings sit, how faction territory falls and what the early sectors offer. Because that decision is effectively permanent for a long-running server, set it deliberately in the configuration before inviting players, and take a backup once the group is happy with the start. All of that is editable from the panel file manager without a support request.
Avorion exposes a large amount of behavior through server configuration and its Lua scripting layer, from difficulty and block limits to workshop mods placed in the server's mods directory. Upload them through the file manager or SFTP, then read the live console on restart to catch script errors early. The one-click version changer keeps the server matched to the client build, and the task scheduler handles nightly restarts, which helps a galaxy with many loaded sectors stay responsive.
Avorion's cost driver is how many sectors are loaded at once, and each active player or independent fleet can wake another one. Solo and small-group galaxies are content on 6 GB, while ten to fifteen pilots spread across the map fit the 8 GB tier with its 4 cores. Public servers with alliances running parallel operations benefit from 16 GB or 24 GB, and RAM stays a flat $2.50 per gigabyte at every step.

Common questions about running a Avorion server with us.
Plan around loaded sectors rather than raw headcount. Small groups run well on 6 GB at $15.00 a month, and 8 GB with 4 cores suits ten to fifteen pilots. Public galaxies where alliances operate in several places at once are better on 16 GB or 24 GB, and upgrades keep your existing galaxy files.
Changing the seed means generating a new galaxy, since the existing one is built from the old value. Keep the current galaxy directory as a backup before switching, so the group can return to it. Both the configuration and the galaxy folders are reachable in the panel file manager and over SFTP whenever you want to archive or replace them.
Yes. Workshop mods and Lua scripts go into the server's mods and scripts directories, which you reach through the file manager or SFTP, backed by unmetered NVMe storage. Restart from the live console after installing and read the output for script errors. Clients generally need matching mods, so share your list with the group.
We do not cap or sell player slots, so the limit is what the game build and your hardware tier handle well. Because players in different corners of the map load separate sectors, the practical ceiling tracks RAM and cores more than a headcount number. The 8 GB tier is the most popular choice for active groups.
Copy your galaxy folder from your local Avorion data directory and upload it over SFTP, then point the server at that galaxy name and restart. Do the transfer with the server stopped to avoid partially written files, and create a backup slot straight afterward so the imported galaxy has its own restore point.
