What is a Garry's Mod dedicated server?

A Garry's Mod dedicated server gives a sandbox community a stable place for construction, roleplay, minigames and custom Source-engine modes.

Crafty installs the Steam dedicated-server files and starts a Sandbox map. A Steam game-server login token is supported for public listing but is optional.

Why host Garry's Mod with Crafty Servers?

One-click setup

Crafty installs the Steam dedicated-server files and starts a Sandbox map. A Steam game-server login token is supported for public listing but is optional.

Built for community modes

Change maps, collections and Source settings without relying on a player's local session.

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

A basic server fits the free size; paid sizes suit larger workshops and addon collections.

Frequently asked questions

Which plan runs Garry's Mod?

Start a small Sandbox server free, then choose more RAM for addons or a larger community.

What do players need to join?

Garry's Mod on Steam plus the hostname and port shown 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 Garry's Mod server files?

Yes. Upload addons and edit map, gamemode and Source configuration files. Paid sizes include writable files, SFTP, schedules and automatic backup retention.
