Unlimited player slots, DDoS protection and RAM-based packages, online in 60 seconds at locations worldwide.
American ExpressAbout the game
SCP: Secret Laboratory is Northwood Studios' free multiplayer horror shooter: Class-D personnel and scientists try to escape a containment breach while SCPs hunt them and MTF or Chaos Insurgency squads arrive in respawn waves. No two rounds play alike, so communities want a facility of their own. Your SCP: Secret Laboratory server comes with unlimited player slots, DDoS protection and RAM-based packages, so you pick the RAM that fits your round; the values are in the FAQ.
You decide how your facility runs: tune friendly fire, MTF and Chaos respawn waves, tickrate, intercom and AFK kick in config_gameplay.txt or with the free SCP:SL config generator, and give your staff Remote Admin roles. Set a contact_email so your server can pass Northwood's verification for the official server browser, while friends join any time via Direct Connect with your IP and port.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
The price depends on package, term and location, never on player slots: every package comes with unlimited slots, and the live prices for all packages are shown in the package overview on this page. How many players can join is set by max_players in config_gameplay.txt and by the RAM you choose. Choose 3, 30, 90, 180 or 365 days. You can cancel anytime, effective at the end of the term.
A small SCP: Secret Laboratory server needs at least 2 GB of RAM, and 4 GB leaves room for a full vanilla round. Large communities with many players online at once should plan extra headroom. Check the statistics tab during peak rounds. If you need more, you can increase RAM later without reinstalling. How upgrades work
Your server is set up automatically and is usually online about 60 seconds after you order. Players open the in-game Server Browser, choose Direct Connect and enter your server IP and port. The default game port is UDP 7777, and your panel shows the exact address. Connection guide in the Help Center
Set a valid contact_email in config_gameplay.txt and restart the server. Northwood verifies servers before they appear in the official public list, so follow their verified server rules. Until then, players can join any time via Direct Connect.
This product runs the vanilla SCP: Secret Laboratory server exactly as Northwood ships it, without a plugin framework. For SCP:SL plugins, choose SCP: Exiled instead: it uses the same server and config_gameplay.txt with the EXILED framework preinstalled. You can switch between the two in your panel. EXILED plugin guide
Yes. Every SCP: Secret Laboratory server sits behind ZAP-Hosting's DDoS protection at no extra cost, and the protection filters attack traffic before it reaches your rounds. You don't need to set anything up.
Yes. ZAP-Hosting has locations worldwide, and you pick the one closest to your community when you order. Many North American groups start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles, and communities elsewhere often choose a data center in their own region.
Add your Steam ID with the owner role to config_remoteadmin.txt, restart the server and press M in-game to open the Remote Admin panel. From there you can create roles for your staff and set permissions for each role. Admin guide in the Help Center
