open.mp Server Hosting for San Andreas roleplay
Run your open.mp or SA-MP server in Frankfurt with NVMe SSD and multi-Tbps Anti-DDoS. One of the lightest games to host and one of the most sensitive to ping — which is exactly what a Frankfurt location fixes for European players.
Plans from €7.00EUR per month
San Andreas Multiplayer communities live and die on ping and uptime, not on hardware. The gamemodes are Pawn scripts and barely touch the CPU, so what actually decides whether your roleplay server feels good is where it sits on the network and whether it stays up when someone decides to attack it.
Every plan runs in Frankfurt behind our multi-Tbps Anti-DDoS network with NVMe SSD storage, managed from an easy control panel — online in minutes with 24/7 in-house support.
Everything your open.mp server needs
open.mp is the modern continuation of SA-MP and runs existing Pawn gamemodes and filterscripts as they are. Old server, new foundation — your scripts come with you.
Low EU ping
Frankfurt is the routing hub for most of Europe, and SA-MP roleplay is far more sensitive to ping than to hardware.
Your Pawn gamemode
Upload your gamemode, filterscripts, plugins and includes — open.mp runs existing SA-MP scripts without a rewrite.
config.json or server.cfg
open.mp's config.json exposes far more settings, and the classic server.cfg still works if that is what your scripts expect.
Anti-DDoS included
SA-MP communities attack each other as a sport. Every server sits behind our multi-Tbps Frankfurt filtering.
MySQL ready
Most roleplay gamemodes need a database for accounts, houses and factions — connect yours and go.
Automatic backups
Scheduled backups so a bad script update never costs your community its player data.
Built for open.mp players, not just servers
Hardware, network and protection tuned for game hosting — hosted in one of Europe's best-connected data centres.
Multi-Tbps Anti-DDoS
Every server is filtered through our own 13 Tbps+ Frankfurt network and custom XDP layer — attacks are absorbed before they reach you. Learn more →
Instant setup
Your open.mp server is deployed automatically right after checkout — online in minutes, not hours.
Low EU latency
Frankfurt is the heart of European networking. Players across the EU get a stable, low ping for smooth gameplay.
Easy control panel
Start, stop, restart, edit configs, install mods/plugins and manage files from a clean web panel — no Linux knowledge needed.
High-clock CPUs + NVMe
Game servers love fast single-core performance. Our nodes run high-clock CPUs with NVMe SSDs for quick world loads.
24/7 in-house support
Real people who host games for a living — not a generic call centre. We help you get set up and stay online.
How to make a open.mp server
From zero to online in four steps — no technical experience required.

Configure the server
Set your gamemode, hostname, max_players and RCON password in config.json — or keep using server.cfg.

open.mp hosting questions, answered
What is open.mp and how is it different from SA-MP?
open.mp (open multiplayer) is the modern, open-source continuation of SA-MP. It runs existing SA-MP gamemodes and filterscripts as they are, adds config.json with far more settings than server.cfg, and is actively maintained.
What port does an open.mp server use?
UDP 7777 by default, set in network.port in config.json — the same port SA-MP has always used. On our managed hosting it is opened for you.
How many players can join?
max_players goes up to 1000, with 50 as the default. What limits a real roleplay server is usually the gamemode and the database behind it, not the slot cap.
Can I move my existing SA-MP server here?
Yes, and that is the normal case. Upload your gamemode, filterscripts, plugins and your database, and the server comes up as it was.
Do I need a powerful server for SA-MP?
No. Pawn gamemodes are extremely light — far lighter than any modern survival game. Ping, uptime and DDoS protection are what actually decide how the server feels.
Is it DDoS protected?
Always — every server is filtered through our multi-Tbps Frankfurt network, which matters more in this scene than in most.
