Your crew's sub stays online 24/7: unlimited slots, DDoS protection, locations worldwide, flexible terms, no port forwarding.
American ExpressAbout the server
Barotrauma is a 2D co-op submarine sim set in the ice-covered ocean of Jupiter's moon Europa. Your crew splits into captain, engineer, mechanic, medic and security, keeps the reactor running, patches leaks and fights off monsters, traitors and husk infections while the hull creaks around you. A Barotrauma server gives your crew its own always-on dedicated server, so campaign, sandbox and mission rounds are ready to rejoin even when the captain logs off.
With your own server, you decide how every dive plays out: set game mode, traitor odds, karma and the respawn shuttle in the panel, upload Workshop mods, custom subs and existing campaign saves, and let the crew join without anyone forwarding UDP ports or leaving a PC running overnight. Slots are unlimited, so crew size is simply the max players value you set.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Barotrauma server hosting at ZAP-Hosting starts at €5.99 per month, with packages up to €92.99. Pricing depends on the package you choose, never on slots, and the live price for your package and location is always shown in the configurator.
A vanilla Barotrauma server with a small crew needs relatively little RAM. RAM needs grow with crew size, large custom submarines and above all your mod list — heavily modded campaigns need noticeably more headroom. Watch the RAM graph during a full round and add RAM if it gets tight. As a guideline: at least 1 GB, 2 GB recommended.
Hosting on your own PC is free, but it only runs while your PC does, needs UDP ports 27015 and 27016 forwarded on your router and eats CPU while you play. A rented server stays online around the clock, needs no port forwarding and keeps your campaign available when the host player is offline.
Setup is automated: your Barotrauma server is usually online within 60 seconds of checkout. Grab the server address from the panel, share it with your crew and start the first round. How to connect to your server
All packages come with unlimited slots, so you never pay per player. How many crew members fit aboard is set by the max players value in your server settings — choose a package with enough RAM and CPU for the crew size you plan.
Yes. You can run Workshop mods and custom submarines on your Barotrauma dedicated server by uploading them through the file manager and enabling them for the server. Players missing a mod are prompted to download it when they join. Frameworks such as Lua for Barotrauma need extra setup — our 24/7 support chat helps if you get stuck.
ZAP-Hosting offers locations worldwide — pick the one closest to most of your crew for the most responsive rounds. Many North American crews start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles, but every location is a good choice for players nearby.
Yes. Your Barotrauma dedicated server runs independently of any player's PC, so the multiplayer campaign is saved on the server and ready whenever the crew logs in — even if the captain is away. You can also upload, back up and switch campaign saves. Managing savegames
