Getting Started

How to set up an Open Fortress server

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

  1. Pick your plan

    Choose the Open Fortress 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

    There is nothing to install and no server to configure by hand. Payment goes through and your machine provisions itself in under a minute.

  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 Open Fortress

    Pick your version, set the slots and allocate 1–2 GB. Mods and plugins install from the panel — no FTP, no config files by hand.

  5. Invite your players

    Copy the address from the panel and send it to your group. Plans here run up to 24 slots. That is the whole job — the server stays online whether or not you are.
