HOW TO BUY
Buy an SCP SL Server: Steps to Start Your SCP SL Server
To start your own SCP SL server you need a machine with resources reserved for you that runs the game's server software around the clock. When you buy an SCP SL server from Phoenix Sunucum you receive a DDoS-protected Ryzen VDS with full root access, and you carry out the SCP SL server setup on it yourself.
How to Buy an SCP SL Server
- Pick the plan that fits your player count and mod load from the SCP SL 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 SCP SL server setup guide and open your server to players.
Are SCP SL Server Rental, SCP SL VDS and SCP SL Hosting the Same?
Yes. “SCP SL server rental”, “SCP SL server hosting”, “SCP SL hosting” and “SCP SL VDS” all describe the same need: a machine with resources reserved for you that keeps an SCP SL 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 an SCP SL server the price is set by the processor, RAM and disk you choose; current SCP SL server prices are listed in the plans section.
TECHNICAL GUIDE
SCP SL Server Setup Guide: How to Start an SCP SL Server
An SCP: Secret Laboratory server runs with the SCP: Secret Laboratory Dedicated Server package on Steam (App ID 996560) and is managed with the LocalAdmin tool. For your server to appear in the public list it has to pass Northwood's verification process.
SCP SL Server Ports
| Port | Protocol | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| 7777 | UDP | Game connection (default) |
| 7777 | TCP | Recommended for server list verification |
Suggested Resources to Start
| Usage | Processor | RAM |
|---|---|---|
| 20–25 players | 2 vCPU | 4 GB |
| 30–40 players, with plugins | 4 vCPU | 8 GB |
| Multiple servers on one machine | 2+ vCPU per server | 4 GB per server |
How to Set Up an SCP SL Server: Steps
- Download the server files with SteamCMD using the
app_update 996560command. - Start LocalAdmin and enter the port number; configuration files are created in a separate folder for each port number.
- Edit the server name, player count and game rules in the
config_gameplay.txtfile, and permissions in theconfig_remoteadmin.txtfile. - Open the port, start the server and apply to Northwood for verification to appear in the list.
Configuration and Mod Notes
- To use plugins, EXILED or Northwood's official plugin framework is installed; the two should not be used at the same time.
- After game updates the plugin framework needs to be updated as well.
- Public servers must comply with Northwood's server rules.
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.
