OpenArena server hosting, done right

OpenArena is a free, open-source arena shooter in the Quake III tradition. A dedicated server is featherweight and perfect for fast frag-fests. Pick a plan and your OpenArena server deploys in under 60 seconds — no manual install, no command line, no shared lobbies. It ships ready for server configs and custom maps, so you can shape the server exactly how your community plays.

We run OpenArena on high-clock AMD Ryzen CPUs with NVMe SSD storage in European data centers, wrapped in always-on multi-Tbps DDoS protection — for smooth tick rates, fast world loads and single-digit EU ping. We recommend around 256 MB–1 GB of RAM, scaling with players and mods. Plans scale to up to 16 slots.

Manage everything from a modern control panel: a live console, one-click mod & plugin installer, visual config editor, scheduled automatic backups and full FTP access — plus a free subdomain and real 24/7 human support whenever you need it.

One-click mods

Mod your OpenArena server in seconds

Your OpenArena server supports server configs and custom maps — install straight from the panel or upload your own with full file access. No SSH, no headaches, and you can upgrade RAM in one click if a big modpack needs more.
