Help friends connect and keep Starbound running on a VPS
A Starbound VPS gives your group a shared place to play, without relying on one friend to keep a computer running. A virtual private server is like having your own room in a datacentre, with dedicated space for your game world. You run the Starbound server software on the VPS, then share the address with your friends so they can join through the game or Steam. The OVHcloud Game Panel helps you invite players, check key server information, and handle routine tasks without digging into complex settings. You can restart your server, review useful details, and keep sessions moving with less admin. Choosing a nearby VPS location can also help reduce ping during exploration, building, combat, and survival sessions
Run a persistent Starbound universe on a VPS
Persistent worlds for groups
A dedicated environment changes how a Starbound group plays. Instead of waiting for one player to host a session, your community gets persistent worlds that remain available for base building, shared storage, and long-term exploration. Multiplayer hosting also helps admins set clearer expectations, because players know where to connect and when their progress is available.
Shared projects over time
This matters most for groups that meet at different times. A dedicated hosting setup lets one player expand a colony while another continues a questline later. The world becomes a shared project rather than a temporary session tied to a personal device.
Network protection for play
Security also deserves attention. DDoS protection helps absorb malicious traffic spikes that could otherwise make the server difficult to reach. You still manage your game, but we handle the network layer around the hosted service.
Guidance for routine tasks
If you are unsure about settings, access, or routine tasks, a knowledgebase can guide you through common steps. You do not need deep infrastructure experience to run a reliable Starbound community.

Assess VPS performance before you commit
SSD storage and responsiveness
Performance in Starbound depends on more than one specification. SSD storage helps worlds load faster, improves file access, and supports better responsiveness when players move between areas or interact with active builds. For a universe that changes often, storage speed can make routine play feel smoother.
Resources matched to play
Server requirements should match the way your community plays. A small group with few changes needs less than a busy server with many players, large builds, and several mods. Instead of treating resources as a fixed number, think about player count, mod usage, and world activity together.
Latency and hosted tools
Server latency also affects the experience. Pick a location close to most players, then use the panel to manage settings as the group grows. If you need to share a file, adjust configuration, or review access, hosted tools keep those tasks within reach. Our support can also help with common setup questions, so admins are not left alone when requirements change.
