Sanctuary Island dedicated server

What is a Sanctuary Island VPS?

Your whole group can reach your Sanctuary Island multiplayer world whenever they want. A Sanctuary Island VPS from ZAP-Hosting is your own KVM virtual server with full administrator access, and you set up the Sanctuary Island dedicated server on it yourself.

That matters more than ever: Sanctuary Island left the Steam store on June 30, 2026, and according to the developer, owners can keep playing together through the dedicated server software. On your VPS that server keeps running when your own PC is off, so friends can drop in between sessions.

It is your own VPS, not a managed game server: you decide on settings, admins, restart times and any extra tools on the same machine. Experienced admins can still set everything up manually if they prefer.
