SQUAD

In the current tariff, 16 GB RAM is paired with up to 67 player slots and 24 GB RAM with up to 100 player slots. The configurator shows the exact limit for your selection.

Yes, custom layers go up through the file management tools and slot straight into your own rotation — handy if your group prefers particular map variants.

Yes, SquadJS is the community standard for managing Squad servers: RCON integration, Discord notifications, logging and map voting. Install it via the file manager and configure it through a JSON file.

Every map has several playable layers, like Yehorivka RAAS v1 and Yehorivka AAS v2. Define the rotation in LayerRotation.cfg, or hand it to SquadJS and let its map-voting plugin let the group decide democratically.

Yes, using the RCON port and password from your dashboard you can connect tools like SquadJS or a direct RCON client. From there you change maps, kick players, issue warnings and manage team balance.

Yes, through SteamCMD. You can decide in the dashboard whether updates apply immediately or wait for the next restart — just make sure everyone in the group is on the same client version afterwards.

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 30 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.

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.

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.

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.
