Frequently asked questions

How many people can play on the server at once?
Up to 16 people fit in a crew. Depending on submarine size and mod count, 2 to 4 GB RAM is usually enough for a smooth run.
Can I use mods from the Steam Workshop?
Yes, Workshop mods run fully — that includes custom submarines, extra gamemodes, and content packs, all pulled in via their Workshop IDs.
Can we bring our own submarine designs?
Sure. Upload a submarine built in the Submarine Editor and it becomes available to your crew right away.
What is the difference between Campaign and Sandbox?
Campaign tells an ongoing story with crew progression in a changing world. Sandbox offers an open canvas for building, experimenting, and custom scenarios with no story attached — both are set from the dashboard.
How quickly is our server ready after ordering?
Usually within a few minutes. Set server name, password, and max players in the control panel, and upload custom submarines through the file manager.
Can friends from different countries play together on our server?
Yes, a dedicated server makes that easy: unlike hosting directly through Steam, connection quality does not depend on one crew member's home connection — everyone connects to the server evenly, wherever they are.
Do I get a subdomain for my server?
Every mcfreehost server ships with its own address such as yourserver.mc.mcfreehost.com right from the start. Rename it anytime from the dashboard — no ticket required.
What do add-ons like bots and databases cost?
Monitoring and database add-ons — Uptime Kuma, MariaDB, phpMyAdmin, Game Server Watcher — never carry a surcharge. For music and chat bots, the first slot you activate is included; every additional bot is billed on top, and the dashboard shows the exact cost before you switch it on.
How long until I can actually play?
Typical initial setup: about 3 minutes. Queues or large installations can take longer. Larger Steam installs can take a bit longer depending on the game.
Am I locked into a long-term contract?
No — you are on a subscription that renews monthly, and you can cancel it from the dashboard whenever you like; the same goes for turning off automatic renewal.
Are the servers located in Germany?
Yes. All game servers run in German data centres (Falkenstein and Limburg) connected to the major German exchanges — low pings for players across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and solid latency for the rest of Europe.
Which provider is best for my server?
The best provider is the one that shows you what you get before you pay: RAM, slots, location, price and cancellation terms. Here the price and resources are visible in the configurator before checkout, there is no minimum term and setup is automated — feel free to compare that with other offers.
Should I host the server myself or rent one?
Self-hosting costs power, time and a machine that runs around the clock; port forwarding, updates and backups are on you. A rented server is online within minutes, keeps running when your PC is off, and updates, DDoS protection and backups are included. For one or two friends on a single evening self-hosting is often fine — for a persistent world, renting pays off.
