Can I use my own Squad license key?

Yes. Licensed keys issued by Offworld Industries are applied in your server configuration, which you can edit directly through the panel file manager or SFTP. Restart from the live console afterwards and check the startup log to confirm the server registered as licensed before opening it to players.

How do I install Squad Workshop mods?

Add the Workshop mod IDs to your server's mod configuration through the panel, then restart so the server downloads and mounts them to unmetered NVMe storage. Players need the same mods subscribed locally. The live console reports each mod as it loads, which makes a mismatched ID easy to identify.

Can I set up an admin whitelist and reserved slots?

Yes. Squad's admin configuration lets you define groups with specific permissions and assign Steam IDs to them, including reserved slots for staff and whitelisted players. Edit those files in the panel, restart to apply, and give moderators panel subuser access so they can use the console without billing rights.

Which location is best for a Squad community?

Choose the city closest to your player base from our five game-server locations: Miami, New York City, San Jose, Toronto and Brussels. New York City and Toronto cover most of eastern and central North America well, San Jose serves the west, and Brussels serves European communities with the lowest latency.

About Squad hosting

Licensed Squad Servers And Slot Keys

Squad separates unlicensed community servers from licensed ones, and the license key issued to your community unlocks the larger, properly ranked server behavior players expect. FSH supports bringing your own key: the relevant config files are yours to edit in the panel, with no vendor lock on where the key lives.

That also means you can stand up an unlicensed test server on a small plan while a license application is pending, then apply the key later without moving hosts. The one-click version changer keeps your build aligned with the live game after each Offworld update.

Layer Rotation And Admin Setup

Round flow is controlled by your layer rotation and voting configuration. Edit those files in the file manager, decide which maps, factions and game modes appear in sequence, and restart between rounds so the new rotation takes effect cleanly rather than interrupting a match that is already underway.

Admin configuration follows the same pattern. Define admin groups with the permissions each rank should hold, add Steam IDs for staff and whitelisted regulars, then hand panel subuser accounts to the moderators who need console and player management access but should never see billing or plan settings.

Whitelisting Workshop Mods

Modded Squad servers pull content from the Steam Workshop, and the mod IDs you list must match on the server and in each client's subscription. Upload or edit your mod configuration in the panel, restart, and read the live console output to confirm every mod mounted before you advertise the server.

Mods raise memory use noticeably, so a modded 80 to 100 player server is best on 24 GB or 32 GB with five cores. Unmetered NVMe storage means a large Workshop cache never bumps into a disk limit, and automatic daily backups protect your configs across ten rolling slots.
