Own VPS instead of managed hosting
What is a Battle Grounds III VPS?
A Battle Grounds III VPS gives your regiment its own virtual server with full administrator access. Our Gameserver Installer sets up the Battle Grounds 3 dedicated server in one click.
A managed game server comes with locked settings, but this VPS is yours. You pick the maps, the SourceMod and MetaMod plugins and the FastDL setup, and the server stays online around the clock, not just while a home PC is running.
Features
Run your Battle Grounds 3 dedicated server on your own VPS
Admin access, one-click setup and a choice of locations for regiments and clans that host their own line battles.
Your VPS is ready in 60 seconds
Setup runs automatically, so your regiment can hold tonight's line battle on a server you ordered this afternoon.
Battle Grounds III server in one click
Choose Battle Grounds III in the Gameserver Installer and it sets up the dedicated server for you. No SteamCMD work needed.
Admin access
Edit server.cfg, restart processes and read logs whenever you like, over RDP or in the browser console of the ZapX panel.
Your VPS, your maps and mods
Add custom maps, SourceMod, MetaMod and FastDL yourself and build the map rotation your events need. With admin access, nothing is locked away.
Daily automatic Backup
A daily system Backup of your VPS keeps your configs and maps safe. Restores and extra manual Backups come with ZapX Pass.
Steady performance in big battles
Reserved VPS resources keep the server responsive when both lines open fire. Source engine servers benefit from strong single-core power.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Battle Grounds III
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
A Battle Grounds III VPS is your own virtual server with full administrator access that runs the Battle Grounds 3 dedicated server. Unlike a managed game server, no settings are locked. You control server files, plugins and maps, and you can run other tools alongside it. The game server itself is installed in one click with our Gameserver Installer.
- Your own VPS with admin access
- One-click setup with the Gameserver Installer
- Full control over plugins, maps and files
Use the Gameserver Installer in the ZapX panel. Select Battle Grounds III (often written Battlegrounds 3), and the installer sets up the dedicated server, including the download and the base configuration. Experienced admins can still set it up manually over Remote Desktop (RDP) if they prefer.
- One-click setup
- Download and base configuration included
Battle Grounds III has no widely published hardware requirements, so choose your plan based on player count, maps and plugins. Source engine servers benefit most from strong single-core CPU performance. Big line battles, many custom maps and SourceMod plugins need more RAM and storage. Start with a plan that fits your usual event size.
- Player count drives CPU and RAM needs
- Custom maps and FastDL need storage
- Plugins add RAM and CPU load
The price depends on the VPS plan you choose (CPU, RAM and storage) and on the location. US locations have a regional price adjustment. The plan cards on this page always show live shop prices. Choose 3, 30, 90 or 180 days or a year; cancel anytime, effective at term end.
