Garry's Mod hosting for DarkRP, TTT, and sandbox with Workshop addons, DDoS protection, and locations worldwide.
American ExpressAbout the game
Garry's Mod is Facepunch's physics sandbox on the Source engine: spawn props, weld contraptions with the toolgun, and pose or freeze anything with the physgun. Its community turned it into a platform for whole gamemodes, from DarkRP cities and Trouble in Terrorist Town rounds to Prop Hunt and Murder. A dedicated GMod server keeps that world online around the clock, so your group can join any time without one player hosting from their own PC.
With your own server you decide the gamemode, the Workshop collection, the maps, and admin addons like ULX, and you can swap any of them whenever your community wants something new. Unlimited player slots mean you size RAM and CPU for your addon stack instead of counting seats, while a browser console lets you test risky addon updates and ZapX Pass lets you roll back using Backups if something breaks, without babysitting SteamCMD updates yourself.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
You focus on the mode and community; the host handles the always-on server layer.
Managed GMod server hosting includes the Garry's Mod server itself, a browser-based control panel with console and file access, Workshop and custom addon support, DDoS protection, Backups, and a choice of locations worldwide. You handle the gamemode, collections, and community rules while the host keeps the infrastructure online. See the dashboard overview
Size for your gamemode and addon stack, not just the number of players.
RAM needs depend more on gamemode and addon load than on player count alone. A small sandbox or friend server can start lean, DarkRP usually needs more headroom because jobs and persistence add load, and Workshop-heavy servers should leave extra room for joins, map changes, and addon overhead. As a guideline: at least 2 GB, 4 GB recommended.
Pick the closest location for most of your community, not just the one nearest to you.
Choose the location closest to most of your community; locations are available worldwide. Many North American groups start with Ashburn, Dallas, or Los Angeles, while communities elsewhere pick the location nearest to them. Latency mostly depends on that distance, so check where your regulars actually play from before you order.
GMod hosting is built for more than plain sandbox maps.
Yes. Managed GMod hosting works for popular modes like DarkRP, TTT, Prop Hunt, and general sandbox setups, plus custom communities that rely on their own content stack. The important part is sizing the server around the gamemode and addons you actually run.
Workshop collections and custom files are central to many GMod communities.
Yes. A Steam Workshop collection covers most addons, and custom files let you handle the rest. Managed hosting gives you the always-on base server while you decide which collections, admin addons, maps, and custom files belong on it; FastDL can help first-time players download content faster. Read the Workshop setup guide
Public communities need both attack protection and a clean rollback path.
Yes. Game-server DDoS protection helps keep public communities reachable, and with ZapX Pass you can create restore points before risky addon or config changes and roll back to a cleaner state if an update breaks something, instead of rebuilding the whole server from scratch. Learn how Backups work
Use live shop pricing and size around mode, addons, and activity instead of slot packages.
GMod server plans are sized by RAM, CPU, and disk rather than player slots, and live plan pricing is shown in the shop. Free hosting can work for a quick test, but public DarkRP, TTT, or sandbox communities usually outgrow it fast because uptime, DDoS protection, Backups, and steady performance matter more than the lowest entry cost.
Start managed, upgrade resources as you grow, and move up only when you need deeper control.
In most cases, your base GMod server is online in under 60 seconds, then you finish the mode-specific setup such as Workshop content, maps, or admin addons. Managed hosting fits most communities for a long time, and a VPS or dedicated server only makes more sense when you want full operating-system control, extra services, or a more unusual stack around the game server.
