The Best Unturned Server Hosting

Hosting an Unturned server

Unturned is free to play and its servers are light, which is why it has such a large community of roleplay, PvP and modded servers. Because the game itself is so accessible, what separates a good Unturned host is control and tooling, not raw power: plugin frameworks, Workshop maps and easy administration.

What to compare

• Plugin frameworks. Many public servers run plugins through frameworks such as RocketMod or OpenMod for economy, ranks, kits and more. Check the host supports the framework you want and lets you install plugins.
• Workshop maps and mods. Custom maps and content come from the Steam Workshop. Choose a host that makes adding and updating them simple.
• Config and admin access. Game modes, rates, loot, whitelists and permissions live in server files, so direct access or a good panel saves time.
• Sensible sizing. Unturned does not need big hardware for a modest group, but busy public and roleplay servers with plugins and large maps need more. Compare plans against your real population.
• Restarts and updates. Scheduled restarts and quick updates keep public servers healthy and avoid players being locked out.
• DDoS protection and location. Public servers attract attacks, and latency matters for PvP.
