s&box on your own VPS
What is an s&box VPS?
With an s&box VPS you get your own KVM server with full root access, and the official s&box dedicated server is set up with one click via our Gameserver Installer. Instead of a preconfigured slot package, the whole machine is yours.
That means room for your own C# gamemodes, local projects and tools, whether your community calls it s&box or sbox. Prefer full control over classic s&box server hosting? This is the setup built for it.
Your VPS runs 24/7 independent of your PC, so players can join your gamemode whenever they like while you keep control over files, updates and resources.
Features
Built for running your s&box server
Root access, reserved resources and a one-click Gameserver Installer: everything your s&box gamemode needs on your own VPS.
One-click s&box setup
Your s&box server is ready without manual install steps: the Gameserver Installer sets it up on your VPS with one click.
Reserved KVM resources
Your gamemode gets the CPU cores and RAM you booked, because KVM virtualization keeps them reserved for your VPS.
Root access & browser console
You keep full control: root access via SSH, plus a browser console in the panel for when SSH or the network is unavailable.
Daily system Backup
Your gamemode files are covered by a daily automatic system Backup; custom Backups and restores come with the ZapX Pass.
Locations in Europe and America
Your players connect to a nearby server: choose FFM/Eygelshoven, Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles when you order.
Online in 60 seconds
You can start sooner: your VPS is provisioned automatically and is usually online within 60 seconds of ordering.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about s&box
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
An s&box VPS is your own KVM virtual server with full root access. Instead of a preconfigured gameserver package, you control the whole machine: the s&box server is set up with one click via our Gameserver Installer, and you decide on gamemodes, files and extra tools. That's why we offer s&box as a VPS rather than as a managed gameserver.
- Full root access instead of a slot package
- Room for your own C# gamemodes and local projects
- Run extra tools, Git workflows or several instances
Yes. Once your VPS is ordered, the s&box server is set up with one click via the Gameserver Installer, with no manual install steps. Your VPS is provisioned automatically and is usually online within 60 seconds. You also get root access via SSH, so experienced admins can optionally adjust everything by hand. SSH access in the Help Center
- One-click setup via the Gameserver Installer
- Online in 60 seconds after ordering
- Root access via SSH and a browser console
It depends on your gamemode, addons and how many players join at once. A small test server or friend group needs far less than a busy RP-style gamemode. Many admins start with a smaller plan, watch CPU and RAM in the panel and move to a larger plan once they need more headroom.
- Testing and small groups: start compact
- Larger communities and RP gamemodes: more CPU and RAM
- Switch to a bigger plan when your graphs show it
The price depends on the VPS plan you pick, the term and the location and loads live from our shop, so the pricing section on this page always shows the current rate. You never pay per player slot. Choose 3, 30, 90 or 180 days or a year; you can cancel anytime, effective at term end.
- Live prices per plan from the shop
- Resources instead of player slots
- Cancel anytime
Yes. With the ZapX Pass, the VPS can be booked as a Lifetime server: buy once instead of renting, and keep your s&box server running on it while your Pass is active.
- Buy once
- Available with the ZapX Pass
- Same full root access
Choose from our locations in Europe and America: FFM/Eygelshoven, Ashburn, Dallas and Los Angeles. Pick the location closest to your players or community when you order, because latency depends mostly on that distance. Many North American groups start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles.

How do I connect to my s&box VPS over SSH?
Use the IP address and root credentials shown in your VPS panel with an SSH client such as PuTTY or your system terminal. I can also explain how SSH keys make your logins safer.
And if SSH doesn't respond?
Open the browser console in the panel. It works without SSH or RDP, so you can check your network settings from there.
