Built for StarRupture: the factory is still there after the restart

Three independent switches decide, on every single boot, whether a StarRupture server loads the base you built or replaces it. They ship set correctly here and stay yours.

Your world is loaded on restart, never replaced

Three separate values govern the save: one names the file to load, one decides whether an existing save is loaded at all, and one forces a new world. That third ships off here and carries its own warning — set it true once at creation, then set it back.

You decide how much production a bad night can cost

StarRupture writes its world on a timer you set rather than at events, and the server refuses anything under sixty seconds. Ours ships at three hundred, and that field answers one question: how much production do I lose if the box goes down.

A Windows-only build runs headless without you arranging it

The StarRupture server ships only as a Windows executable, and only as the EOS build, so it announces its session to Epic Online Services rather than a Steam server list. Ours runs it under a compatibility layer with the virtual display a headless node lacks.

GSK Game Panel

Powerful Server Management

Every server comes with our feature-rich game panel — manage your server from anywhere with no technical expertise required.

Live Server Console

Monitor your server in real time with a built-in console, live CPU, memory, and network graphs, plus one-click start, restart, and stop controls.

Full File Manager

Browse, upload, edit, and manage all your server files directly from the panel — no FTP client needed. Drag and drop uploads, bulk actions, and more.

Startup Configuration

Fine-tune every aspect of your server with an intuitive variable editor. Selects, toggles, and validated inputs replace fragile command-line flags.

One-Click Backups

Create on-demand or scheduled backups with one click. Lock critical snapshots, download them for offsite storage, or restore any of them yourself.

Network & Allocations

Every server gets a dedicated port allocation behind always-on DDoS filtering. Ports are assigned when the server is built and matched to our firewall rules, so the ones your server needs are open before you log in.

4 Locations Available

Global Server Network

Pick a data center close to your players. The times below are measured live from your own connection, not quoted from ours. View all locations.

Dallas

London
EU West
Ashburn
NA East
Frankfurt
EU Central

StarRupture servers deploy from four locations. Dallas sits in the middle of North America and is the usual default for a community spread across the United States. Ashburn covers the East Coast and is the shorter hop for players in the eastern states and eastern Canada. London serves the UK, Ireland and the western edge of Europe, and Frankfurt sits central for Germany, the Nordics, the Benelux countries and most of Eastern Europe. Between them the four cover North America and Europe end to end.

The figures beside each city were measured by your own browser a moment ago, so read them as a fair guide to what players near you will see rather than a number we picked. If you choose the wrong one, moving is free: open a ticket and support migrates your server files to any available location at no charge.

“This is the first time in my life that someone actually tried to help around this world of VPS/dedicated servers. Rene isn't good, he is amazing! Gave total attention, made recommendations. I am looking forward to migrate my services to GameServerKings because of Rene. I appreciate the attention once again.”

How quickly will my server be ready?

Your StarRupture server is provisioned automatically within about a minute of payment. You'll receive login credentials to your inbox so you can connect straight away.

Do game updates install automatically?

Yes. Your StarRupture server is kept on the current game build automatically — you don't need to patch it by hand or open a ticket when the game updates.

Can I install mods and plugins?

Absolutely. You have full file access via our control panel and FTP/SFTP. Install any mods, plugins, or custom configurations — we don't restrict what you run on your server.

What if I need to upgrade my resources?

Upgrading is instant. You can change your memory, storage, or CPU priority from your client area at any time without any downtime or server migration.

Is DDoS protection included?

Yes. Every StarRupture server includes enterprise-grade DDoS mitigation at no extra charge. We absorb attacks at the network edge — your players won't notice a thing.

Are backups included?

Yes, and in two ways. Your StarRupture server is backed up automatically every 24 hours to off-site storage, so there is a recent copy to fall back on if the machine itself fails — you do not have to set anything up for that. On top of it, every plan includes five backup slots in the control panel that are yours to use: take one with a single click before a wipe, an update or a mod install, or set a schedule so they run on their own, and restore or download any of those five whenever you like. Neither costs extra.

Do I need a dedicated IP?

Only if you want one. A dedicated IPv4 address gives your StarRupture server its own entry in the in-game server browser and puts it on the game's default port, so players can connect by typing just the IP address. Without one your server shares an IP with other servers and uses its own port instead — it runs exactly the same and your friends can still join, they just need the IP and the port together. It costs $5.00 a month if you decide you want it.

Do you offer a money-back guarantee?

We offer a 72-hour money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied for any reason within the first 72 hours, contact us and we'll issue a full refund — no questions asked.

Can I switch server locations?

Yes. Contact our support team and we'll help you migrate your server data to any of our available locations at no charge.

Still have questions?

Our support team is available 24/7 and typically responds in under 5 minutes.
