How to Set Up a AssaultCube Server

AssaultCube is a free, ultra-light open-source FPS built on the Cube engine. A dedicated server runs on almost nothing and is perfect for fast LAN-style frag matches. This step-by-step guide shows you how to set up a AssaultCube server in minutes — no manual install, no command line.

What you need

• A AssaultCube plan with around 128–512 MB of RAM — AssaultCube is a Light-class game.
• Support for server config and custom maps, included on every GGameHost AssaultCube plan.
• Your friends or community to play with (up to 20 slots).

Step 1 — Choose your plan

Pick a plan sized for your AssaultCube community. We recommend about 128–512 MB of RAM; start smaller and upgrade in one click as you add players or mods. AssaultCube plans start at $3.99/mo.

Step 2 — Deploy your server

Check out and your AssaultCube server provisions automatically in under 60 seconds, with console access right away — no manual install, no command line.

Step 3 — Connect & invite players

Once your AssaultCube server is online, share its address (IP and port) with your friends so they can join. Start, stop and restart it anytime from the control panel.

Step 4 — Install mods & configure

Your AssaultCube server supports Open-source, Custom maps, Config, FTP/SFTP. Install server config and custom maps straight from the one-click installer, or upload your own from the control panel — then tweak settings in the visual config editor.

Step 5 — Keep it running smoothly

Enable scheduled automatic backups, set restart timers, and monitor CPU, RAM and player counts from the dashboard. Always-on DDoS protection and 24/7 support keep your AssaultCube server stable.
