DarkOrbit server hosting, done right

DarkOrbit is the browser-based space shooter MMO where thousands of players battle for control of three galactic companies. Running a private DarkOrbit emulator server gives your community a custom galaxy — full admin control, custom events and your own economy. Pick a plan and your machine is ready in under 60 seconds — then upload your build and start it from the panel. There is no official DarkOrbit server binary, so the software side is yours to supply. It ships ready for DarkOrbit Emulator (Java/PHP private server), so you can shape the server exactly how your community plays.

We run DarkOrbit on high-clock AMD Ryzen CPUs with NVMe SSD storage, wrapped in always-on multi-Tbps DDoS protection — for smooth tick rates, fast world loads and single-digit ping. We recommend around 2–6 GB of RAM, scaling with players and mods. Plans scale to 50–500+ pilots.

Manage everything from a modern control panel: a live console, a full file manager with FTP/SFTP, a MySQL database, visual config editor, scheduled automatic backups — plus real 24/7 human support whenever you need it.

Full file access

Run your own DarkOrbit build

Upload your DarkOrbit Emulator (Java/PHP private server) through the file manager or SFTP and start it from the panel. You get a MySQL database, full file access and a real console — and you can upgrade RAM in one click when your community grows.

Getting Started

How to set up a DarkOrbit server

Five steps, about two minutes. No command line, no port forwarding.

  1. Pick your plan

    Choose the DarkOrbit plan that matches your group. Starter suits a small private world; you can upgrade in one click later without losing anything.

  2. Check out — we deploy it

    Payment goes through and your machine provisions itself in under a minute, with the panel, file access and a database ready. The server software itself is yours to upload.

  3. Open the game panel

    Your login is the email you signed up with. The panel shows live CPU and RAM, a real console, and one big Start button.

  4. Set it up for DarkOrbit

    Upload your build through the file manager or SFTP, point its config at the database and allocate 2–6 GB. Follow the project's own documentation for ports and schema.

  5. Invite your players

    Copy the address from the panel and send it to your group. Plans here run 50–500+ pilots. That is the whole job — the server stays online whether or not you are.

FAQ

DarkOrbit hosting questions

Do you offer cheap DarkOrbit server hosting?
Yes — GGameHost is affordable DarkOrbit server hosting: plans start at $6.00/month with no setup fees, and prepaying takes 20% to 40% off (3, 6 or 12 months), so a 12-month term brings the Starter plan down to $3.60/month. You still get AMD Ryzen + NVMe hardware, DDoS protection and 24/7 support — cheap DarkOrbit hosting without the lag or hidden limits.
