OpenArena is a free, open-source arena shooter in the Quake III tradition. A dedicated server is featherweight and perfect for fast frag-fests. This step-by-step guide shows you how to set up a OpenArena server in minutes — no manual install, no command line.
Pick a plan sized for your OpenArena community. We recommend about 256 MB–1 GB of RAM; start smaller and upgrade in one click as you add players or mods. OpenArena plans start at $3.99/mo.
Check out and your OpenArena server provisions automatically in under 60 seconds, with console access right away — no manual install, no command line.
Once your OpenArena 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.
Your OpenArena server supports Open-source, Custom maps, Config, FTP/SFTP. Install server configs 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.
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 OpenArena server stable.
