Subnautica 2 Beacon VPS
What is a Subnautica 2 Beacon VPS?
A Subnautica 2 Beacon VPS from ZAP-Hosting is a KVM virtual server with full administrator access on which you run the community Beacon framework to keep your Subnautica 2 world online 24/7, since the game ships without an official dedicated server.
Your crew no longer depends on one player hosting the session: your Subnautica 2 VPS keeps the world running while you're offline. You set up the Subnautica 2 server yourself on your own VPS, and full administrator access via Remote Desktop (RDP) or the browser console stays yours for configs, mods and Beacon updates.
Beacon is a community project, not an official tool from the developers. Friends join your server via IP and port, and you decide when Beacon and your world get updated.

Powerful CPUs under load
Bases, vehicles and the whole crew exploring at once stay smooth, because your VPS runs on powerful server CPUs with KVM virtualization.

A bad update won't wipe your progress: a daily automatic system Backup is included, own Backups and restores come with ZapX Pass.
Bring your co-op save along
Want to continue your co-op run? Upload existing save files via Remote Desktop (RDP), check the Beacon docs for compatibility and back up first.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Subnautica 2 - Beacon
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Prices depend on the VPS package, term and location, not player slots. The current prices of all VPS packages are shown live in the package section on this page and come straight from our shop. Choose 3, 30, 90 or 180 days or a year; you can cancel anytime, effective at term end, and where a Lifetime option is shown, you can buy the server once with an active ZapX Pass.
- Resource-based packages, no slot billing
- Live prices from the shop
- Increase RAM when needed
That depends on your group size, how much of the world you've explored and whether you run mods. Small co-op crews should allow resource headroom and keep an eye on CPU and RAM in the panel. If the world starts to feel sluggish, increase resources without rebuilding your server.
Choose the VPS if you want full administrator access, your own Windows Server and control over when Beacon gets updated. Your VPS keeps your world online while you're offline.
You set up the Subnautica 2 server yourself on your own VPS, with a guide in the Help Center to help. You keep full administrator access via Remote Desktop (RDP) or the browser console for configs, mods and updates. To run the community server Beacon, you need your own copy of Subnautica 2.

Yes. Every VPS is covered by ZAP-Hosting's DDoS protection, so attacks on your IP don't knock your crew offline. A daily automatic system Backup is included; creating your own Backups and restoring them is available with ZapX Pass. More about DDoS protection

No. Subnautica 2 ships with host-based co-op multiplayer, but without official dedicated server files. Beacon is a community framework that makes a dedicated Subnautica 2 server possible, and friends join it via IP and port. Because Beacon is not an official tool, a game update can require a Beacon update before everyone can connect again.
Pick the location closest to most of your players: the VPS is available at locations in Europe and America, including FFM/Eygelshoven, Ashburn, Dallas and Los Angeles. Many crews in North America start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles. If your group is spread out, choose the location in the middle of your players.

My crew lags when we all explore at once. What should I check?
Start with CPU and RAM usage in your VPS statistics while everyone is online. If both sit near the limit, more CPU and RAM are the usual fix; if not, compare your server location with where your players are.
Which location suits a crew spread across regions?
Pick the location closest to most of your players and test the ping from each side before you decide.
