Question 1

How do I set up a Workshop collection on my GMod server?

Accepted Answer

Create a collection on the Steam Workshop and add the addons your players should download. Then put the collection ID (and your Steam API key) in the server startup configuration - you have full access to every file via WebFTP or SFTP. After a restart the server downloads the collection content automatically.

Question 2

Can I run DarkRP on my server?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload the DarkRP gamemode to the gamemodes folder over SFTP or WebFTP and select it in your startup config. Every plan includes a MariaDB database if you want to store DarkRP data in MySQL. For a heavily modded DarkRP we recommend a plan with 4-6 GB RAM.

Question 3

How do I install addons outside the Workshop?

Accepted Answer

Upload the addon folder to garrysmod/addons using WebFTP in your browser or any SFTP client. You have unrestricted access to the server files, so you can also edit configs and Lua scripts. Changes load after a server restart.

Question 4

How many player slots do I get?

Accepted Answer

There is no slot limit - billing is based on resources (RAM, CPU, disk) and you set the maximum player count yourself in the config. How many players run comfortably depends on your gamemode and addon count.

Question 5

Which plan should I pick for my gamemode?

Accepted Answer

Sandbox with a few addons runs fine on the Small plan with 2 GB RAM for 15 PLN. DarkRP, TTT or Murder with a bigger Workshop collection is happier on 4-6 GB RAM (25-35 PLN). If your community grows, you can upgrade at any time with prorated billing.

Question 6

What protection do your servers provide against DDoS attacks?

Accepted Answer

All our servers are protected by the MatShield Anti-DDoS system, which effectively filters malicious traffic and ensures uninterrupted operation even during attack attempts. Our protection solutions work at the network and application level, guaranteeing service stability.

Question 7

Question 8

Do I have the option to install my own mods and plugins on the server?
