What is a OpenArena dedicated server?
An OpenArena dedicated server provides a stable home for fast deathmatch, capture-the-flag and arena modes built on the open-source id Tech engine.
Crafty downloads the official game archive, starts a ready rotation and generates a private RCON password for server administration.
Why host OpenArena with Crafty Servers?
One-click setup
Crafty downloads the official game archive, starts a ready rotation and generates a private RCON password for server administration.
Classic arena speed
Control modes, maps, frag limits and voting for your own fast public or private arena.
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
OpenArena is lightweight enough for the free size and supports paid always-on hosting.
Frequently asked questions
Which plan runs OpenArena?
OpenArena can start free. Choose a paid size for an always-on public arena.
What do players need to join?
The free OpenArena client and the hostname and port from 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 OpenArena server files?
Yes. Edit server.cfg, upload maps and rotate the generated RCON password. Paid sizes include writable files, SFTP, schedules and automatic backup retention.
