Run co-op vs AI or versus matches on your own DDoS-protected server: unlimited slots, full config access, locations worldwide.
American ExpressAbout the server
Insurgency: Sandstorm is a hardcore tactical shooter where a minimal HUD, lethal gunfire and real squad communication decide every fight. You battle other players in versus modes like Push, Firefight and Frontline, or team up in co-op scenarios such as Checkpoint and Outpost against waves of AI enemies. An Insurgency: Sandstorm server from ZAP-Hosting is your own dedicated game server for those matches: DDoS-protected, with unlimited player slots and your rules instead of a public lobby's.
With access to Game.ini, Engine.ini, the map cycle and the admin list, you decide how every match plays: bot count and difficulty for co-op, mutators such as Hardcore or Pistols Only, scenario rotation and mods from mod.io. Add your GSLT and a Game Stats token, and your server shows up in the in-game browser while players can keep earning XP on stats-enabled setups.

The price depends on the RAM and CPU package and the location you choose. Player slots are always unlimited and never cost extra. You see current monthly prices live in the package section. Choose 3, 30, 90 or 180 days or a year; cancel anytime, effective at term end.
Player slots are unlimited on every package, so you set the max player count in your server settings within the game's own limits. More players and bots need more resources, so choose RAM and CPU to match the size of your matches.
You choose from locations worldwide: our own data centers in FFM/Eygelshoven, Ashburn, Los Angeles and Dallas, plus partner locations such as London, Montreal, Singapore and Sydney. Pick the one closest to your players. Availability varies by product and location.
Yes. Once your server runs with a Game Stats token and a Steam Game Server Login Token (GSLT), players can earn XP on your server. Some mods and mutators switch stats off, so keep those setups separate if XP matters to your group. How to create a GSLT
Yes. When you add more players, bigger bot waves or more mods, you can add more RAM and CPU at any time. Unlimited player slots stay included on every package. Read the upgrade guide
Yes. Put co-op scenarios like Checkpoint or Outpost into your map cycle and adjust bot count and AI difficulty in Game.ini. Larger bot waves use more CPU and RAM, so size your package for the matches you plan to run.
Yes. Insurgency: Sandstorm loads mods and custom maps from mod.io, and you add the ones you want in your server's mod configuration. Mod-heavy servers need more RAM, and modded setups may not award XP to players.
