Arma 3 Server Hosting, Explained

What is Arma 3?

New to Arma 3?

What is Arma 3?

Arma 3 is Bohemia Interactive's military sandbox, with realistic ballistics and combined arms warfare on huge open maps like Altis, Tanoa and Livonia. Players pick a role and a loadout, plan as a squad, and move on foot, in armor, helicopters or jets to take their objectives. Much of its long life comes from the community: milsim units running scheduled operations, co-op groups playing Antistasi, roleplay servers like Altis Life, and missions built in the Eden editor.

Combined Arms.

Infantry, armor, helicopters, jets and boats share one battlefield, and teamwork decides the fight.

Zeus.

One player curates the battlefield in real time while the rest of the group fights it.

Why rent a server?

What is Arma 3 Server Hosting?

An Arma 3 dedicated server runs your mission on always-on hardware, independent of any player's PC. A server hosted from the game ties everyone to one person's machine and router, and the session ends when they log off. A dedicated server keeps going while nobody is online, with your modpack, your passwords and your rules. With Physgun it installs itself the moment you order, updates on every start, and gives you SFTP plus SSH and VS Code for your config files and mod folders.

Always Online.

Your server keeps running around the clock, so your unit can deploy on its own schedule.

Full Control.

Load your modpack, set the rules in server.cfg, and add CPU and memory any time.

Physgun

You set the player limit yourself, and we never charge per slot. Bigger missions, more AI and heavier mods need more CPU and memory, and you can add both any time.

Yes. Upload your mod folders, such as CBA_A3, and add them to your server's mod list, and players load the same set. Mods only the server needs get a list of their own.

Yes. Run your server on the Creator DLC or Contact branch and load that content alongside your mods.

Yes. Your server can keep the mission going after the last player leaves, so it is still there when your unit logs back in.

Yes. BattlEye anti-cheat is on by default, and your server can kick players whose mods are not signed with a key you added.

Restart it. The server updates itself every time it starts, so players on the current version can always join.

Yes, to another Gamebox game your server has the resources for. A switch wipes the files and installs the new game, and the panel offers a backup first.

Yes. You can set up a backup schedule in the panel, and secure backup storage is included in every Physgun server!

Yes. Every Physgun server is protected from DDoS attacks.
