Rent a Soulmask Server

Packages are matched to player count: 16 GB for 20 slots, 24 GB for 40 slots, and 32 GB for 60 slots. If you run many mods or continue an older world, the larger package helps.

You can choose between the original map, Level01_Main, and the DLC map, DLC_Level01_Main. Switching is done via a variable and can be changed anytime in the control panel.

Depending on the package booked: 20, 40, or 60 at once — the count is enforced by a fixed cap.

Mods load through the MOD_ID variable, where you enter a comma-separated list of mod IDs. Important: every connecting player needs the same mods installed. You will find the mods themselves on the Steam Workshop.

Typical initial setup: about 4 minutes. Queues or large installations can take longer. After that, set map name, player count, and admin password in the panel.

As a mask-bearer you control NPCs directly and assign them tasks like gathering, building, or fighting. A well-organised tribe keeps working this way even when nobody is actively at the keyboard.

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.

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.

Typical initial setup: about 4 minutes. Queues or large installations can take longer. Larger Steam installs can take a bit longer depending on the game.

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.

You choose the location at checkout: Germany (Falkenstein and Limburg) or France (Roubaix) — all in the EU, connected to the major European exchanges. Low pings for players across Germany, Austria and Switzerland at both locations, and solid latency for the rest of Europe.

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. Soulmask starts here at 18.34 EUR per month, and setup typically takes about 4 minutes.

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 and backups are included; data-center DDoS protection is included at every location. For one or two friends on a single evening self-hosting is often fine — for a persistent world, renting pays off.

Yes, you can do it yourself in the customer area using a slider. An upgrade takes effect immediately: you only pay the prorated difference for the remaining term, and the new price applies from the next renewal. A downgrade takes effect on the next renewal date. Your world, settings and subdomain are kept, and depending on the game, a restart is required afterwards. With monthly payment and a minimum term, the change is only possible once that term has ended, and for games with a slot-based plan it is not available.
