How our protection works

Starbound hosting questions, answered

Why use a dedicated Starbound server?

So your universe is always online — friends can play any time without the host being on, and characters and worlds persist between sessions.

How much hardware does it need?

Not much — a modest CPU and 2–4 GB of RAM run a full server. It's a light game to host, on a 64-bit OS.

What port does it use?

21025 over both TCP and UDP by default — and on our managed hosting it's opened for you.

Can I install Workshop mods?

Yes — add Workshop mods from the panel; clients with the same mods join normally.

Is it DDoS protected?

Always — every server is filtered through our multi-Tbps Frankfurt network.

How fast is setup?

Automatic — your server is ready within minutes of checkout.

How much does Starbound server hosting cost?

Starbound server plans start from €11.00 per month, with Anti-DDoS protection included. The final price depends on the slots and resources you choose at checkout, and you can upgrade at any time.
