Hosting a SCP: Secret Laboratory server
SCP: Secret Laboratory is a free-to-play multiplayer horror game from Northwood Studios, released on Steam in December 2017. A containment breach at a Foundation site sets Class-D personnel, scientists, facility guards, Mobile Task Force units and the Chaos Insurgency against escaped SCPs and each other.
Rounds are fast and the player count changes the experience a lot, so many communities run their own servers with custom rules, plugins and roleplay settings.
What to compare
- Player slots and performance. Bigger rounds need more CPU. Check what each plan is sized for before you pick one.
- Plugin and config access. Most community servers rely on plugins and custom config files, so look for full file access.
- Quick updates. Northwood updates the game regularly and clients must match the server. Prompt updates keep players able to join.
- Location. Pick a datacentre near your community to keep gunfights and chases smooth.
