How to Set Up a Unturned Server

Unturned is the free, low-poly zombie-survival sandbox with a massive Workshop. A dedicated server with RocketMod plugins and Workshop content is cheap to run and endlessly moddable. This step-by-step guide shows you how to set up a Unturned server in minutes — no manual install, no command line.

What you need

• A Unturned plan with around 2–4 GB of RAM — Unturned is a Light-class game.
• Support for RocketMod plugins and Steam Workshop, included on every GGameHost Unturned plan.
• Your friends or community to play with (24–48 slots).

Step 1 — Choose your plan

Pick a plan sized for your Unturned community. We recommend about 2–4 GB of RAM; start smaller and upgrade in one click as you add players or mods. Unturned plans start at $3.99/mo.

Step 2 — Deploy your server

Check out and your Unturned 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 Unturned 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 Unturned server supports RocketMod, Steam Workshop, Plugins, Config, FTP/SFTP. Install RocketMod plugins and Steam Workshop 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 Unturned server stable.
