Unlimited slots · $2.50 per GB
A dedicated server keeps the multiplayer campaign, submarine loadout, and crew progression intact, so nobody has to volunteer as host for the next descent.
2 GB at $5.00 runs a six-person vanilla campaign, 6 GB handles a 16-player crew with a mod list, and 8 GB covers public servers running large custom submarines.
4 Cores with 8 GB RAM. Billed monthly.
Every node runs Ryzen 9 7900 to 9950X processors with DDR5 ECC memory.
Barotrauma simulates every wire, water volume, and creature in one process, so clock speed and mod count weigh more than raw memory: Ryzen 9 cores come on every tier.
The server is provisioned automatically at checkout, so the crew's first mission can start the same evening.
Load Workshop content into the mod folder and enable it in the config so connecting clients match your list.
Ryzen 9 processors and DDR5 ECC memory carry the physics, wiring, and creature AI a full sub demands.
Unlimited player slots let a three-person campaign grow into a public 24-crew server on the same plan.
Every Barotrauma server includes DDoS protection at no extra charge, with unmetered ports and allocations.
Host from Miami, New York City, San Jose, Toronto, or Brussels.
A live console, file manager, SFTP and task scheduler in your browser.
Campaign mode is the reason most crews move to a dedicated server. Money, submarine upgrades, hired characters, talent progression, and your position on the Europa map all persist on the server's storage, so the run continues at the next agreed time rather than resetting because whoever hosted last week is unavailable tonight. Automatic daily backups keep ten rolling slots if a save goes sideways between missions.
Custom submarine files go into the submarines folder and show up in the server's selection list for voting or admin choice, and Workshop content packages go into the mod directory and get enabled in the configuration. Load order is the thing to watch: mismatched or differently ordered mod lists between server and clients are the usual cause of join failures, so publish your exact list to the crew.
The server settings file holds respawn timers and shuttle behavior, traitor frequency, friendly fire, karma, and voting rules, and the panel file manager opens it in the browser for edits before a restart from the live console. Player management tools cover bans and kicks during a rough session, while the task scheduler can automate a nightly restart so a long campaign does not drift on memory.
Deploy in North America or Europe, and move your server later at no charge.

2 GB at $5.00 per month is enough for a six-person vanilla campaign. Step up to 6 GB when a 16-player crew and a mod list are involved, and 8 GB with four cores when you are running large custom submarines for a public server. Player slots are unlimited on every tier regardless.
