Unlimited slots · $2.50 per GB
Host a s&box sandbox for your own gamemode work, with console access, automatic daily backups and quick redeploys for a project that still changes week to week.
3 GB is plenty for a private test sandbox, 8 GB with 4 cores is our most popular tier and suits a public gamemode with a regular crowd, and 16 GB leaves headroom for asset-heavy maps.
4 Cores with 8 GB RAM. Billed monthly.
Every node runs Ryzen 9 7900 to 9950X processors with DDR5 ECC memory.
s&box gamemodes are code and assets you rebuild often, so fast NVMe storage, high Ryzen 9 clocks and a panel that lets you swap builds and files on demand matter more than any fixed spec sheet.
Push new gamemode files, restart from the console and be back in the sandbox in seconds instead of waiting on a support ticket.
The panel file manager and SFTP both reach your addon and configuration directories, so iterating on a gamemode is a drag and drop away.
Ryzen 9 processors, DDR5 ECC memory and NVMe SSD storage give a Source 2 sandbox room for physics props and large asset loads.
Every plan includes unlimited player slots and subuser accounts, so co-developers and testers can share panel access without extra fees.
Included DDoS filtering keeps a public sandbox reachable when someone decides your playtest is a target worth attacking.
Five locations across North America and Europe, from San Jose and Miami to Toronto and Brussels, keep testers close to the host.
A live console, file manager, SFTP and task scheduler in your browser.
s&box is Facepunch's successor to Garry's Mod and is still in active development, which shapes how you should host it. Builds change, APIs shift and gamemodes need rebuilding, so the useful traits in a host are file access, quick restarts and cheap rollbacks rather than a locked-down managed setup. Every plan here gives you a live console, full file access and automatic daily backups with 10 rolling slots.
Because a sandbox is only as interesting as the content loaded into it, the panel keeps content work self-service. Upload gamemode and addon folders through the file manager, or mount the server over SFTP and sync from your development machine. Use the one-click version changer to line the server build up with your client, the task scheduler for nightly restarts, and network tools to add extra ports from the 10 allocations included on every plan.
Sandbox load is unpredictable by nature, since a room full of spawned props costs far more than an empty map. A private development server is happy on 2 GB or 3 GB, at $5.00 and $7.50 a month respectively, while a public gamemode with a dozen regulars is better on the 8 GB tier and its 4 cores. RAM is flat rate at $2.50 per gigabyte, so scaling up later is predictable.
Deploy in North America or Europe, and move your server later at no charge.
Still unsure? Ask our team.
s&box is still in development, so feature support and networking behavior change between builds. We give you the tools that matter for that situation: full file access, a live console, the one-click version changer and daily backups. Check the current build's server documentation for what is supported, and our 24/7 support can help with configuration questions.
