Astro Colony dedicated server
What is an Astro Colony VPS?
An Astro Colony VPS is your own DDoS-protected virtual server with full root access, so your colony stays online 24/7 without a home PC that has to keep running. You set up the official Astro Colony dedicated server yourself, and you can pick from 9 VPS plans.
Unlike a managed game server sold in slot packages, the whole machine belongs to you: upload your existing save, adjust the server files and run other game servers or tools next to your Astro Colony multiplayer server. You choose the location from our sites in Europe and America, close to wherever your crew plays.
Whether you want to host an Astro Colony server for two friends or a larger co-op group, Astro Colony server hosting on your own VPS keeps your progress and your settings under your control.
Why a VPS
Run the Astro Colony dedicated server on your own VPS
Everything your colony needs to run around the clock, with server setup in your hands and the whole machine under your control.
Online within 60 seconds
Your VPS is set up automatically after ordering. You then set up the Astro Colony server yourself with full root access.
Power for automated colonies
Large production chains get the CPU and RAM of your own VPS, so you size the server by colony complexity instead of player slots.
Bring your colony along
Pick up exactly where you left off: upload your existing single-player or co-op save to the server via SFTP.
Backups for every build
With ZapX Pass, roll back a failed expansion or broken save: create, restore and download VPS Backups whenever you need them.
Room to grow
When your colony outgrows its resources, move up to a larger VPS plan with more CPU, RAM and storage.
Locations in Europe and America
Your crew connects to a nearby server: choose from VPS locations in Europe and America and pick the one closest to your players.

You set up the Astro Colony dedicated server yourself on your own VPS. You keep full root or administrator access to your VPS. A guide in the Help Center helps you install and manage the server.
Your colony decides more than your player count. Large automated bases with long production chains need noticeably more CPU and RAM than a fresh co-op start. Many groups begin with a smaller plan and move up to a larger VPS plan as their colony grows. The live plans and their resources are shown in the pricing section above.
- Fresh co-op colony: a smaller plan is a good start
- Heavy automation: more CPU and RAM
- Upgrade to a larger plan whenever you need to
Yes. With full access to your VPS you can upload an existing single-player or co-op save via SFTP and load it on the dedicated server, so your colony continues exactly where you left off. Create a Backup with ZapX Pass first so you can easily roll back. How to connect via SFTP
Yes. You choose the term that fits your plans, from 3 days up to 1 year where available, or Lifetime with ZapX Pass. If you cancel a subscription rental, it ends at the close of the current period. Payments run through Stripe, with available methods depending on your country.
You choose from VPS locations in Europe and America, so pick the one closest to your crew; many North American groups start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles. At FFM/Eygelshoven and our US locations, game traffic is filtered by PletX DDoS protection. Availability varies by product and location. Learn more about PletX DDoS protection
With ZapX Pass, you can create, restore and download Backups of your VPS, so a failed experiment never costs you your colony. With root access you can also keep extra copies of your save folder wherever you like. Backup guide in the Help Center
