How we compared StarRupture server hosts

We compared each host’s live StarRupture product on what matters for a four-player factory that may stay on version 0.3.5: enough memory for a growing base, a UK or nearby European location, downloadable backups, month-to-month billing, refund terms and the regular price. Hosts that stopped selling StarRupture were removed. Prices come from each host’s public plan page, converted at £1 = $1.33. Our full process is on how we compare.

Dedicated-server support is ending: what it means

StarRupture launched into Early Access on 6 January 2026 with dedicated servers as an experimental feature. On 20 October 2026 Creepy Jar announced that it is ending active support for them to focus on single-player and co-op listen servers. Nothing breaks today: dedicated servers run version 0.3.5, the hotfix from 5 October, and a rented server works as normal.

The change arrives with Update 3, Custom Game, which went onto the Public Test Branch on 29 October with no release date yet and no dedicated server. From then on the main game will not support dedicated servers, while 0.3.5 stays available on a separate Steam branch without further updates. Every player then has to switch to that branch to join a rented server.

That leaves two choices. If you want Update 3, plan to play on a co-op session hosted by one of your group; our guide on how to join a StarRupture server with friends walks through both routes. If you are happy on 0.3.5, a rented server still gives you 24/7 access and backups. Either way, pay month to month and take a copy of your save first. LOW.MS, GTX Gaming and Host Havoc make that easy.

Size a StarRupture server by RAM, not player slots

The game is built for up to four players, so slot counts tell you little. Factories, however, keep growing, and Creepy Jar has not published an official server memory table. Provider guidance points to this:

LOW.MS ships 10GB as standard, Indifferent Broccoli removes the cap, and Kinetic Hosting publishes a clear ladder from 4GB upward. Our hardware requirements guide explains the CPU and storage side.

DSSettings.txt and the old Server Manager port

Configure the server through DSSettings.txt and expose only the gameplay UDP port where possible. A community security project reported a remote-control issue in the older in-game Server Manager TCP path, and Indifferent Broccoli’s setup warns about exactly this. It is community research rather than an official advisory, but closing that path costs nothing.

Save settings need care too: StartNewGame should be switched off once the world exists, and LoadSavedGame should point at your save, or a restart can create a fresh world. Back up before you change startup settings.

{"SessionName": "YourFactory", "SaveGameInterval": "300", "StartNewGame": "false", "LoadSavedGame": "true", "SaveGameName": "AutoSave0.sav"}

What Updates 1, 2 and 3 changed

Update 1 in April 2026 enlarged the playable area and added new zones, ziplines, a Development Station and more than 40 items and recipes. Update 2: Quality of Life arrived on 2 September with copy-paste building, multi-deconstruct and a Drone Roundabout overhaul, and hotfixes 0.3.2 to 0.3.5 followed through early October.

Update 3 adds more than 20 world settings, such as switching off building stability, passive enemies and fire-wave frequency. Those settings will only reach co-op games, not dedicated servers on 0.3.5.

StarRupture hosts with UK servers

17 of the 25 hosts show a London or UK location for StarRupture:

Indifferent Broccoli, Spill Hosting, RespawnHost and GHOSTCAP run from mainland Europe, which still suits a four-player co-op game.

Other factory and survival games to host

If your group may move on after Update 3, compare hosts for Satisfactory, Factorio, Space Engineers, Icarus, Enshrouded and Abiotic Factor.

Self-hosting vs renting a StarRupture server

The StarRupture dedicated server is free on Steam as app 3809400, but it is a Windows build, and after Update 3 you will have to keep it on the 0.3.5 branch yourself.

Once Update 3 lands, a co-op listen server hosted by one player is the official way to get new content. Our self-hosting guide and guide to dedicated hosting cover the trade-offs.

Cheapest StarRupture server hosting UK

Each host’s cheapest StarRupture plan, all 26 sorted by regular monthly price. A 4GB plan is fine for a new world; a persistent factory wants 10–12GB. Hosts that charge per slot or show the price at checkout come last. For other games, see our cheap game server hosting guide.
