How to Set Up a Icarus Server

Icarus is a session-based survival game of timed prospects and open-world homesteads on a deadly alien planet. A dedicated server keeps your team's progress and bases online between drops. This step-by-step guide shows you how to set up a Icarus server in minutes — no manual install, no command line.

What you need

• A Icarus plan with around 6–10 GB of RAM — Icarus is a Heavy-class game.
• Support for dedicated server with config, included on every GGameHost Icarus plan.
• Your friends or community to play with (up to 8 slots).

Step 1 — Choose your plan

Pick a plan sized for your Icarus community. We recommend about 6–10 GB of RAM; start smaller and upgrade in one click as you add players or mods. Icarus plans start at $16.99/mo.

Step 2 — Deploy your server

Check out and your Icarus 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 Icarus 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 Icarus server supports Co-op, Prospects, Config, FTP/SFTP. Install dedicated server with config 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 Icarus server stable.
