S&Box
Server Hosting

Your serverside code runs where clients never see it. Publish to sbox.game and Facepunch strips it out of the build, so we host a dedicated server pointed at your own .sbproj, the only place that logic actually stays private.

What our customers say

5.0 out of 5 · 10 reviews

“I've been with GSK and Cosmic guard for nearly 2 years now, They are very professional, helpful and quick to fix any issues. They normally can get a tech in same day to fix and hardware issues. We've had 2 cpu's burn out and they replaced them (after diagnosing the issue) Fast and free Extra big should out to Alexander hes the goat <3”

Josh from flowstate

“Machines and support are top notch! Love being able to communicate with real humans here and not sh.. ai bots that other sites offer. Communication is smooth and fast.”

BekerMelk

Aimtraining

“I’ve been hosting game servers and managing public-facing infrastructure for nearly a decade. I moved the services that needed serious DDoS protection over in January 2024, and since then the hardware and network side has been one less thing to worry about. When we had issues early on, their team took the time to read through logs, go through configurations, troubleshoot with me, and take the needs of both my hobbies and company seriously. Their support, routing, performance, and protection have all been consistently solid no matter what I deploy.”

Kerminal

Developer & Systems Administrator

“Whilst no gameserver host is perfect, Gameserver Kings have proven themselves to be the most reliable, knowledgeable and professional service in the space over the last couple of years. If and when issues inevitably arise, their team is very reactive and cuts to the chase when issuing a post-mortem about an incident, which is appreciated compared to some boiler plate level 1 support responses we've seen throughout the space with other services.”

Hex

CTO, Rustafied (official Rust servers)

“Been using their dedicated machines for quite a while now and couldn't be happier. Stable network, great machines, and fast delivery. The support team is friendly, quick, and actually works with you to solve problems. Solid DDoS protection too. They care about their customers highly recommended to anyone.”

Coeno

Director, WarBandits

“I've been with GSK for a few years now and honestly can't complain. Servers get set up quickly, and the couple of times something went wrong, support sorted it out quickly. Fair price for what you get. Happy to recommend them.”

Kenzo

“With moving from another host, It's been so refreshing to have fast 24/7 support, superior ddos prot, more hardware options, faster delivery times, better prices, lag free game panel, and much greater network stability here at GSK.”

Geosciencegeek

Owner, RenegadeRust

“I've had multiple machines with GSK and the results have been fantastic. Fast delivery, great support and reliable performance. And I get notifications when the script kiddies try attack :D”
