Multiplayer game hosting for indie devs

You ship the game. We run the servers.

Dedicated servers for indie and open-source multiplayer games. We set them up, keep them running, update them, and scale them when your player count moves. You don't have to learn ops to have people play together.

Founding program

Five games hosted free

We're opening the platform to five small studios first. Your server runs at no cost while we harden the platform. In return we ask for honest feedback, and a short testimonial if you're happy with it.

CostFree during the founding program. No card on file.
You giveFeedback on what breaks and what's missing, plus one or two sentences we can quote if it works for you.
You keepYour game, your code, your community. Leave any time and take your server config with you.
SetupUsually within the week you apply.

What we handle

The server side, end to end

Hosting

Dedicated servers

CPU, memory and bandwidth sized to your game, not a shared box that stutters when someone else's server gets busy.

Uptime

Monitoring and restarts

Crashes get caught and restarted. We watch it so you're not the one getting pinged at 3 a.m.

Updates

Your builds, deployed

Push a new version and we roll it out. Backups before every update so a bad patch can be reverted.

Scaling

More players, more servers

Add instances or regions as your community grows, without re-architecting anything.

Networking

Ports, NAT, firewalls

The connection problems that eat a weekend. Players get an address that works.

Support

A real person

You talk to the engineer running your server, not a ticket queue.
