Alien Swarm Server Hosting, Explained
New to Alien Swarm?
What is Alien Swarm?
Alien Swarm is a free top-down co-op shooter from Valve, made by a team hired from the mod community. With your friends, form a squad of four IAF Marines, each with a class of their own: Officer, Special Weapons, Medic or Tech. Plan your loadout, then blaze through an overrun off-world colony, from the icy planet's surface to a lava-flooded mining facility, and level up to unlock more of the 40-plus weapons and equipment.
Every Class Has a Job.
Heal, hack doors, weld and hold back the swarm, with friendly fire on.
Aliens in Huge Numbers.
Drones, Parasites, Shieldbugs and Mortarbugs stand between you and extraction.
Why rent a server?
What is Alien Swarm Server Hosting?
An Alien Swarm dedicated server keeps your squad's server online around the clock, without one player hosting from home or forwarding ports. On our servers you set the server name and player slots in the panel, pick the difficulty, vote shares and voice chat in the config editor, send console commands from the panel, and get full file access over SFTP and SSH.
Always Online.
Your server stays up when the host logs off, so the squad can play any time.
Full Control.
Set the difficulty, votes and voice chat from one panel.
