Best Garry’s Mod Server Hosting in 2026

1

LOW.MS

Best overall

£3.99/mo$5.40 · 10GB allowance · up to 64 slots

LOW.MS is the strongest current Garry's Mod package we found. Its live API reports a $5.40 minimum price, while the billing catalogue confirms a 10GB memory allowance, mod support, free migration and configurations up to 64 slots. London is available alongside several nearby European regions.

The game-specific panel is unusually complete: automatic cloud backups with up to 20 restore points, one-click restore and download, configuration controls and native switching between public, dev, prerelease and x86-64 branches. That branch support matters after large Facepunch updates, because server owners can test addon and binary-module compatibility before moving production.

EUGameHost is almost absurdly competitive on paper. Its Starter plan costs £4 per month for up to 20 players and 16GB DDR4, with London hosting, NVMe 4.0, a 10Gbps network and high-clock CPU positioning. A free MySQL database is included, which is genuinely useful for DarkRP economies, Pointshop data and other persistent community systems.

The panel also includes a one-click Steam Workshop installer and full FTP/SFTP. Larger plans scale to 50 players with 24GB and 100 players with 32GB. Those memory amounts are far beyond what many GMod servers need, so the ranking is not a reward for giant RAM numbers alone. The £4 price, London location and GMod-specific database/Workshop stack are what make it excellent.

Hexane is one of the best discoveries in this refresh. Eight slots cost £2.49 per month, 16 cost £4.49 and 32 cost £7.49, all with London available. The configurator describes RAM and CPU as unlimited under the package policy, with 25GB SSD/NVMe storage before optional upgrades.

More importantly, the product is built around how GMod servers are actually operated. Workshop collections, FastDL, SFTP, Lua hot reload and custom startup arguments are first-class features rather than generic 'mod support' badges. For a small TTT, Sandbox or development server, it is extremely hard to beat. Larger communities should still watch actual CPU contention rather than assuming 'unlimited' means dedicated hardware.

Kinetic Hosting

Best transparent RAM value

£3.68/mo$4.99 · 4GB RAM

Kinetic's public product ladder starts at $4.99 for 4GB, with 8GB at $7.99 and 10GB at $9.99. Four gigabytes is a very sensible starting allocation for a normal modded TTT, Prop Hunt or smaller DarkRP server, and the provider does not impose a separate player-slot charge.

NVMe, eight CPU threads, modern high-clock Ryzen-class hardware, five backup slots, SFTP, schedules and a seven-day refund are included. GMod can become CPU-limited long before it runs out of memory when Lua hooks, physics and addon logic become heavy, so Kinetic's clear hardware positioning is more useful than providers that only advertise slot counts.

Fly-Serv publishes one of the clearest hardware ladders in the market. A small 2GB server costs £2.48 including VAT, while the 8GB plan we use for comparison is £6.63 with two vCores on Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 50GB NVMe and unlimited player slots.

The 8GB package is attractive for an addon-heavy public community because both memory and CPU allocation are explicit. Automatic backups are not included in the base price and currently add £1.65 per month, which is the main reason Fly-Serv does not rank above Kinetic.

Sparked Host's Budget ladder is exceptionally cheap, starting at $2 for 1GB, $4 for 2GB and $8 for 4GB. We compare the 4GB tier because it is a realistic modded-community baseline rather than a bare dev server. London is available alongside Paris, Helsinki and Vienna.

The Budget tier uses older dual Xeon hardware, but buyers can move to Enterprise Ryzen 7900 or Extreme Ryzen 9900X tiers when single-thread performance matters more. Apollo Panel includes file management and install tools, while backups are optional rather than bundled. A one-day trial and two-day refund reduce the risk of testing the cheaper hardware first.

Zeros Host is built specifically for the sort of work that consumes a GMod owner's evening. Starter costs £5 for 2GB, Growing £10 for 4GB and Roleplay £19 for 8GB. A London node exists alongside the provider's broader European deployment.

Every tier gets the same GMod panel: Workshop collection synchronisation, a Lua backdoor scanner, VS Code-style browser editing, backups, crash auto-restart and DarkRP setup tools. There is a 24-hour no-card free trial and a 14-day money-back guarantee. The raw price is not the absolute cheapest, but the administration tooling is far ahead of most generic hosts.

8

AleForge

Best cheap 6GB fixed plan

£4.42/mo$5.99 · 6GB Budget

AleForge's Budget Apprentice tier gives 6GB RAM, four CPU cores, 40GB NVMe and two user backups for $5.99 per month. Eight gigabytes costs $7.99 and 10GB costs $9.99, making the full upgrade ladder easy to compare.

This is a lot of fixed resource for the price. We keep it below Zeros Host because the GMod-specific management layer is less differentiated and the current GMod page does not make a London location as explicit as the UK-specialist hosts above. As a pure resource buy, though, it is excellent.

9

Gaming Deluxe

Best UK backup retention

£4.90/moNative GBP starting price

Gaming Deluxe starts Garry's Mod at £4.90 per month and offers London, Paris and Frankfurt. The platform advertises modern 5GHz-plus Intel/AMD hardware, NVMe, DDR5, DDoS protection and full FTP.

Its strongest operational feature is seven days of automatic offsite backups. The weakness is comparison transparency: the public page does not show exactly how much RAM or how many slots the £4.90 package buys. That prevents the headline price from outranking fixed-resource products even though the UK feature set is strong.

10

GTX Gaming

Best established UK network

£6.00/moNative GBP starting price

GTX Gaming currently advertises Garry's Mod from £6 per month and says it hosts more than 250 GMod servers. London is available alongside Stockholm, Paris, Frankfurt and a large global network. The control panel supports maps, mods, world uploads, updates and offsite backups.

GTX also exposes upgrade paths across Intel and Ryzen hardware, including modern high-clock options. The public GMod page does not attach a clean RAM/slot configuration to the £6 headline, so transparent packages remain above it. For an established UK community that wants a mature panel and location choice, it remains a safe option.

11

Host Havoc

Best premium owned infrastructure

£7.38/mo$10 · 20 slots

Host Havoc starts Garry's Mod at $10 for 20 slots and scales all the way to 100. London and Amsterdam are available, and the company owns and operates its own server hardware rather than only reselling third-party game instances.

Its TCAdmin environment includes a Workshop installer, file access, logs, offsite backups and restore tools. Exact RAM is not disclosed, so the product cannot beat cheaper fixed-memory plans on raw value, but 20 slots for roughly £7.38 is still reasonable for a public TTT or smaller RP community.

Physgun is probably the most GMod-specialised control panel in this comparison. FastDL and Workshop Sync, a backdoor scanner, live server profiler, MySQL databases, SSH, VS Code integration, schedules and GMod-focused engine tooling are all built in. London and Chicago are available.

The price needs careful reading. The public page says 'starting at $5.87', but that is a Dev Server intended for isolated testing. The actual Micro game server is $9.87 for 2GB, while the 4GB Starter is $19.87. Those prices are high, so Physgun ranks on tooling rather than value. We do not present the dev environment as a normal production host.

RocketNode's Starter costs $6.25 for 2GB RAM, two vCPU and 30GB SSD. The next 4GB tier is $12.25. Unlimited provider-side slots, Workshop installer, FastDL, DDoS protection and three backup slots are included.

Paris is a currently selectable European deployment and the wider location network also lists London, though availability should be checked during ordering. The one-day free trial is useful. The 2GB package is better suited to a small TTT, Sandbox or development community than a heavily scripted DarkRP server.

4NetPlayers

Best simple tax-inclusive slot host

£9.19/mo8 slots · regular price

4NetPlayers sells four Garry's Mod slots for £4.59 and eight for £9.19 at the normal monthly rate. Current first-month promotions are cheaper, but we use renewal pricing. London, Frankfurt and Paris are available and tax is included.

NVMe, automatic backups, FTP and Workshop add-on support make it straightforward for smaller groups. The public product does not disclose RAM, and the slot model becomes less attractive for large public communities than resource-based hosts with no artificial player limit.

RespawnHost is one of the few GMod providers where the billing model can matter more than the monthly rate. Fixed hosting starts at €5 for 2GB and €10 for 4GB, while pay-per-use starts from €0.024 per running hour.

Workshop collections, FastDL, RCON, free MySQL, SFTP and DDoS protection are included, and the current documentation is unusually game-specific. Frankfurt is the European region. If your TTT group only plays a few nights per week, pay-per-use can undercut cheaper-looking 24/7 monthly plans.

Game Host Bros starts at $7.99 for 4GB, followed by 6GB at $11.99 and 8GB at $15.99. Its current GMod page specifies Ryzen 9 9950X hardware, NVMe, DDoS protection, daily backups and 14 global server locations.

Workshop collection support and full file access are built into the panel, with free transfers and a seven-day money-back guarantee. The current order card defaults to Montreal and does not make a UK region obvious in the crawl, so we do not assume London. The hardware package itself is excellent.

17

Nitrado

Best flexible legacy slot platform

£11.59/mo10 slots · 30 days

Nitrado's current UK offers are £4.77 for four slots, £11.59 for 10 and £17.69 for 20, each on a 30-day subscription. The custom configurator supports four to 200 slots. London and Frankfurt are available.

Daily backups, DDoS protection, game switching and TTT-specific setup make the platform easy to operate. RAM is not public, and 10 slots for £11.59 is no longer particularly cheap when several London competitors sell resource-based plans for half that.

18

Shockbyte

Best mainstream beginner setup

£7.38/mo$9.99 · 3GB Tool Gun

Shockbyte's current live GMod plans are $4.99 for 1GB, $9.99 for 3GB and $11.99 for 4GB-plus. We compare the 3GB Tool Gun tier rather than the 1GB Crowbar because it is the first package we would recommend for a real modded server.

Steam Workshop, custom maps, full FTP, automatic backups, DDoS protection and a 72-hour self-service refund are included. The platform is easy for beginners, but 3GB at $9.99 is weak value beside LOW.MS, Kinetic, Hexane and AleForge.

AxentHost can genuinely run a Garry's Mod server without a monthly payment. One gigabyte costs five credits per hour, while recurring web and mobile claims can fund a small server continuously. There is no card requirement and RAM scales from 1GB to 16GB.

The provider advertises Ryzen 9 9900X/5950X hardware, NVMe, automated backups, full browser file access and EU/NA deployment. The catch is convenience: free hosting requires ongoing credit claiming and ad-supported engagement. It is brilliant for testing or students, less frictionless than paying £4-£5 for a normal plan.

20

Survival Servers

Best deep backup history

Configure liveSlot-based · current total varies

Survival Servers' strongest GMod feature is recovery depth. Its platform includes five days of database backups at 30-minute increments, full FTP/database access, custom launch parameters and a choice between Standard and faster Premium hardware.

Germany and France are the nearest European locations. The current product crawl does not expose a clean normal monthly total for the custom configuration, so we leave the price as Configure live rather than recycling the old GSH page's $10 figure. Strong tooling, weak comparison transparency.

21

Indifferent Broccoli

Best uncapped-RAM free trial

£11.81/mo$15.99 · 8 players · uncapped RAM

Indifferent Broccoli starts at $5.99 for one player, then $9.99 for four, $12.99 for six, $15.99 for eight and $24.99 for 32. RAM is uncapped on every plan, so memory growth is never the billing variable.

The two-day free trial requires no card and the provider offers a seven-day refund. This model works brilliantly for some survival games, but Garry's Mod is built around communities where player counts can grow. Paying by slot becomes expensive compared with £4-£8 resource-based hosts that do not cap players.

22

GPORTAL

Best simple mainstream EU host

£11.81/mo$15.99 · 10 slots / 30 days

GPORTAL charges $15.99 per 30 days for 10 Garry's Mod slots, or $37.29 for 40. The platform provides NVMe infrastructure, DDoS protection, game switching and a straightforward managed web interface.

The current product points to Central Europe rather than a confirmed London deployment, and RAM is not public. For a small group the service is simple, but at roughly £11.80 for 10 slots it is much more expensive than several specialist UK products.

Nodecraft's Premium 4GB GMod server renews at $19.98 per month, while 2GB is $9.98 and 6GB is $29.98. The cheaper Lite model can sleep when unused, but a public community generally needs the true 24/7 Premium product.

Nodecraft's panel, cloud backups, free trials and configuration UX remain excellent. The issue is simply economics: Garry's Mod has too many £4-£8 competitors for $19.98/4GB to rank highly unless the interface itself is your priority.

24

Wabbanode

Good UK platform, broken configurator

Broken public total3GB recommended currently shows $0.00

Wabbanode exposes a sensible 1GB-16GB GMod memory slider and offers London, Germany, France and Finland. Workshop integration, SFTP, NVMe and a seven-day refund are useful for a UK community.

The live product currently displays the recommended 3GB server and total price as $0.00. Its optional dedicated-port selector also says port 7777, which looks like a generic template mistake for a Source game where 27015 is the common default. We therefore give the platform credit while heavily penalising storefront QA.

25

BisectHosting

Best polished dynamic platform

Configure liveDynamic BisectOne pricing

BisectHosting offers Garry's Mod through BisectOne with 21 locations, NVMe, DDoS protection, three days of free backups, player management and Instance Manager. Its control panel is one of the more polished generic platforms in the comparison.

The current per-GB price renders dynamically and is not machine-readable in the public crawl. We refuse to resurrect an old fixed price from the project database or guess from another game. If checkout is competitive, Bisect can move much higher.

26

ScalaCube

Active UK option, weak price transparency

Price not exposedActive GMod product

ScalaCube has an active Garry's Mod product and lists the United Kingdom among its worldwide locations. SSD storage, DDoS protection, server settings control, mod support and a seven-day guarantee are part of the offer.

The current page does not expose a usable recurring price or a clear RAM/slot package in our crawl. With so many GMod specialists publishing exact prices and resources, that lack of transparency pushes ScalaCube close to the bottom despite its UK availability.

Citadel maintains one of the deeper GMod knowledge bases among generic hosts, with guides for FastDL, Workshop items, ULX, gamemodes, admins, maps and Lua errors. The hosting platform also provides the usual file/configuration controls.

The current shopping cart lists Garry's Mod at £0.00 per month. That is clearly broken storefront data, not free hosting, and there is no clean public resource package to substitute. We will not invent a price from other Citadel games, so it ranks last until the order page is fixed.
