Subnautica Server Hosting

No. The base game is single-player only, and every multiplayer option comes from Nitrox, an unofficial community mod that adds a dedicated server and client patch. We host that server for you on enterprise Ryzen 9 hardware, but the mod itself is maintained by its own community, so feature gaps and rough edges are expected.

Two players on a young world are fine on the 2 GB plan at $5.00 a month. Memory demand rises with how much you have built and how many entities the world tracks, so groups of four to six usually settle on 6 GB. RAM costs a flat $2.50 per gigabyte, and upgrades keep your existing world.

Nitrox stores its world in its own format rather than reading a vanilla save, so importing a single-player playthrough is not something the mod supports. Plan on a fresh start for the group. Your solo save stays untouched on your own machine, and the server's daily backups protect the new shared world once you begin.

Yes. Client and server builds must match, and a Subnautica update can require a new Nitrox release before anyone can connect. The panel's file access and 10 rolling backup slots make the update cycle low risk: snapshot the world, replace the server files, then restart from the live console and check the output.

We never cap or sell player slots, so the practical ceiling is what Nitrox handles gracefully rather than a billing limit. Small crews of two to six are the common case and run well. Larger groups put more simultaneous entity syncing on the host, so step up to 6 GB or 8 GB if you plan to fill the ocean.
