What comes set up on a Unturned server
Steam token made for you
Unturned needs a server token to show on the Internet list. We create it, so the server lists from the first start.
Rocket included
The server comes with Rocket set up, so plugins for kits, economy, permissions and admin tools drop straight in.
Workshop maps and mods
Add Workshop IDs to WorkshopDownloadConfig.json and the server downloads them, players get them on join.
PvP or PvE rules
Commands.dat sets the map, PvP or PvE, difficulty, perspective and player cap in a few lines.

Common problems
Make yourself admin with Owner and your SteamID64 in Servers/<your server ID>/Server/Commands.dat, then restart.
Workshop content goes in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json by file ID. If a map does not load, check the Map line in Commands.dat matches the map's exact name.
Plugins built for OpenMod or uScript need their own loader. Rocket plugins go in Rocket/Plugins and load on restart.
Server not responding
Make sure the server is online. Servers sleep after 4 days with nobody playing, and anyone with access can start them again from the dashboard in one click.
Use the server address
Do not use localhost, 127.0.0.1 or your own IP from a home hosting guide. Copy the exact address of the server.
No port forwarding or firewall changes
Opening ports on your router is only for hosting a server at home, so there is nothing to change to join this one. If Windows asks whether to let the game through the firewall, choose Allow.
Modding your Unturned server
Unturned servers run Steam Workshop maps and mods, plus server plugins. Rocket is bundled with the game, and many communities also use OpenMod for newer plugins.
Unturned server hosting, explained
Unturned is Smartly Dressed Games' free blocky zombie survival game. Players scavenge towns, build bases, craft weapons and fix up vehicles, then decide whether to team up or shoot on sight. Servers range from small co-op worlds for friends to big PvP and roleplay communities with custom maps, kits and economies. The Steam Workshop is huge, with curated maps like Elver and Arid alongside thousands of community mods.
Running your own server is where Unturned opens up. Friend groups want a quiet PvE world with their own rules. Communities want custom maps, loot tweaks, kits, shops and admins who answer. All of that comes from your server's files, and a server that stays up is what builds a regular player base. Your server is also the only place where your rules, wipes and staff are fully up to you.
The panel covers the server name, password, server ID and auto update. The rest lives in the files: Commands.dat for the map, mode, player cap and owner, WorkshopDownloadConfig.json for Workshop content, and the Rocket folder for plugins and permissions. We make the Steam server token Unturned needs to show on the Internet server list, so you never touch it. The live console takes admin commands too.
Memory depends on the map and what you load on top. A vanilla map with a group of friends runs on 4 GB. A large Workshop map with a set of plugins is happier on 6 GB, and busy community servers with big maps and many plugins should use 8 GB. A community can split the bill between up to 10 people, each paying their share, and change plans in the panel any time.

Common questions
How many players can join my Unturned server?
The server starts at 8 players. Raise it with the MaxPlayers line in Commands.dat, up to 200, and size your plan to match.
Do I need a Steam server token?
No. We make the Game Server Login Token for your server automatically. If the server is missing from the Internet list a few minutes after starting, email support@gamezservers.com.
Can I add Workshop maps and mods?
Yes. Add Workshop file IDs to WorkshopDownloadConfig.json and restart. Players download the content when they join.
Does the server support plugins?
Yes. Rocket is set up on the server, so you can drop Rocket plugins into the plugins folder and restart.
How do I make myself admin?
Add a line with Owner and your SteamID64 to Commands.dat, then restart. You can also use admin commands from the live console.
How do I change the map?
Set the Map line in Commands.dat to the map's name, for example Map Washington, and restart. Workshop maps must be downloaded first.
Can I run a PvE server?
Yes. Add PvE to Commands.dat and players cannot damage each other. Leave it out for PvP.
Is Unturned free?
Yes. Unturned is free on Steam, so anyone can install it and join your server.
Is GamezServers affiliated with Unturned?
No. You rent and control your own dedicated Unturned server. GamezServers is not affiliated with the game's developer or publisher.
Can my friends and I split the cost?
Yes. At checkout choose "Me and my friends" and up to 10 people each pay their own share with their own card, on any plan length, from 3 days to a year. It is not a payment plan: nobody pays in parts over time, each friend simply pays their own share. You pay yours, send each friend their link, and the server starts straight away. Each share includes a $1 payment fee.
Can I build a custom plan?
Yes. Every game has a Build your own page: pick any amount of RAM up to 32 GB, any length from 3 days to 1 year, prepaid or a subscription, plus your server type and settings. A custom size costs 15% more per GB than the standard plans next to it.
Can I pay once instead of a subscription?
Yes. Pick Prepaid and pay once for 3 days, 30 days, 6 months or a year. Nothing renews: when the time is up the server pauses and keeps its world for 14 days. Add time or switch to a subscription from your panel any time. Short rentals cost more per day, since every server is set up from scratch.
How fast is setup, really?
Your server starts building the moment Stripe confirms payment. Most are online in under a minute, and the address and login appear on your dashboard automatically.
