What is a DDNet dedicated server?
A DDNet server hosts cooperative DDRace maps where players use precise movement and grappling to help the whole team reach the finish.
Crafty installs the maintained DDNet server release with a starter map and a generated RCON password for administration.
Why host DDNet with Crafty Servers?
One-click setup
Crafty installs the maintained DDNet server release with a starter map and a generated RCON password for administration.
Precision co-op on your terms
Choose the map rotation and server rules for a private group or public race community.
Full server controls
Manage power and console access from the dashboard. Paid sizes add writable files, SFTP, schedules and automatic backup retention.
Sized for the game
DDNet is lightweight enough for the free size and scales to paid always-on hosting.
Frequently asked questions
Which plan runs DDNet?
DDNet can start on the free size. A paid size keeps a community server always available.
What do players need to join?
The free DDNet client and the hostname and port displayed on the dashboard.
How do players connect?
Use the stable hostname and game port shown on the Crafty dashboard. Standalone games use an explicit port rather than a Minecraft SRV address.
Can I manage my DDNet server files?
Yes. Upload maps, edit autoexec_server.cfg and rotate the generated RCON password. Paid sizes include writable files, SFTP, schedules and automatic backup retention.
