HOW TO BUY
Buy a GMod Server: Steps to Start Your GMod Server
To start your own GMod server you need a machine with resources reserved for you that runs the game's server software around the clock. When you buy a GMod server from Phoenix Sunucum you receive a DDoS-protected Ryzen VDS with full root access, and you carry out the GMod server setup on it yourself.
How to Buy a GMod Server
- Pick the plan that fits your player count and mod load from the GMod server plans.
- Complete your order in the client panel; your server details appear in your panel.
- Connect to your server with the access details sent to you.
- Follow the steps in the GMod server setup guide and open your server to players.
Are GMod Server Rental, GMod VDS and GMod Hosting the Same?
Yes. “GMod server rental”, “GMod server hosting”, “GMod hosting” and “GMod VDS” all describe the same need: a machine with resources reserved for you that keeps a GMod server online without interruption. Our service is not a shared game panel but a VDS you fully control, so there are no limits on mods, plugins or settings.
When you buy a GMod server the price is set by the processor, RAM and disk you choose; current GMod server prices are listed in the plans section.
TECHNICAL GUIDE
GMod Server Setup Guide: How to Start a GMod Server
A Garry's Mod server is installed on Windows or Linux with the Garry's Mod Dedicated Server package on Steam (App ID 4020). It works with game modes such as DarkRP, TTT and Sandbox and with Workshop collections.
GMod Server Ports
| Port | Protocol | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| 27015 | UDP | Game connection (default) |
| 27015 | TCP | RCON (remote administration) |
Suggested Resources to Start
| Usage | Processor | RAM |
|---|---|---|
| TTT / Sandbox, 16–24 players | 2 vCPU | 4 GB |
| DarkRP, 32–64 players | 4 vCPU | 8 GB |
| Large RP with many addons | 4–6 vCPU | 8–16 GB |
How to Set Up a GMod Server: Steps
- Download the server files with SteamCMD using the
app_update 4020command. - Set the game mode with
+gamemode darkrp, the map with+mapand the player count with+maxplayers. - For Workshop content, give your collection ID to the
+host_workshop_collectionparameter; add the GSLT you obtained from Steam with+sv_setsteamaccount. - Keep your settings in the
garrysmod/cfg/server.cfgfile, then open the port and start the server.
Configuration and Mod Notes
- Addons go in the
garrysmod/addonsfolder and game modes in thegarrysmod/gamemodesfolder. - A GMod server is heavily single-core; faulty or unoptimised Lua addons are the most common cause of lag.
- To shorten first-connection time, distributing large content through the Workshop is more practical than FastDL.
We do not install the game; this guide is written so you can do the installation yourself on your server with full root access. The resource suggestions are starting values and vary with your mod and player counts. For the infrastructure that protects your server against attacks, see our game DDoS protection page.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Gmod Server Hosting
The most common questions and answers about Gmod server hosting, gmod server pricing and Garry's Mod servers.

Features include DDR5 memory, full root access and administrator rights, direct management over SSH (Linux) and RDP (Windows), a full control panel and flexible resource management. The hardware is optimised for Garry's Mod server performance, for high FPS and low ping.

With our infrastructure hosted in the Istanbul data center we offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee. For more detail, you can visit our DDoS protection page.
Our Garry's Mod server hosting is delivered from the Istanbul Data Center. Because the location is in Turkey, players in Turkey get low ping (around 1ms) and high performance; ping within Turkey ranges from 1 to 5ms. We also provide a KVKK-compliant service and guarantee that your data stays within Turkey's borders.
Yes, our Garry's Mod server hosting comes with full root access and administrator rights, giving you complete control of your VDS.

Add the collection number to the launch line with
+host_workshop_collection and your Steam Web API key with -authkey. So that players download the content automatically, define a resource.AddWorkshop line for each addon in a Lua file.Many maps and addons use Counter-Strike: Source content. Download the CS:S Dedicated Server (App ID 232330) with SteamCMD and add its path to the
cfg/mount.cfg file. Players also need to have the CS:S content on their own side.Put the DarkRP game mode in the
gamemodes folder and the darkrpmodification addon for your settings in the addons folder, then start the server with +gamemode darkrp. Make job, item and door settings in this addon rather than in the game mode's own files, so your settings are preserved across updates.A Garry’s Mod server mainly uses a single core. Single-core speed therefore matters more than the number of cores; on crowded DarkRP servers, high-frequency Ryzen processors make a difference.
To start a GMod server, first rent a GMod VDS, then connect to it, install the game's server files, open the required ports and launch the server. The step-by-step version is in the GMod server setup guide on this page. We do not install the game; you do the setup yourself on your server with full root access.
The cost is the monthly price of the GMod server plan you choose. The price depends on the processor, RAM and disk; entry plans suit small communities and higher plans suit busy servers. Current GMod server prices are in the plans section.
No, they are the same service. GMod server rental, GMod server hosting and buying a GMod VDS all mean the virtual server with resources reserved for you on which you run your GMod server around the clock.
