Red Alert Server Hosting, Explained
New to Red Alert?
What is Command & Conquer: Red Alert?
Command & Conquer: Red Alert is Westwood Studios' 1996 real-time strategy game, set in an alternate-history World War II between the Allies and the Soviets. You place a Construction Yard, send harvesters for ore, build an army and defenses, and race to destroy the enemy base. The Counterstrike and The Aftermath expansions added 34 missions and new units. Dedicated servers today run OpenRA, a free, open-source remake, and that is what your Physgun server runs. Players join with OpenRA, not the Steam or Remastered versions.
Two Factions.
The Allies and the Soviets field different armies, from Tanya to the Mammoth Tank.
Superweapons.
Turn a match with the Chronosphere, the Iron Curtain or a Nuclear Missile.
Why rent a server?
What is Red Alert Server Hosting?
A dedicated OpenRA server keeps a Red Alert lobby open around the clock, with no PC left on at home and no ports to forward. A fresh lobby opens after every match, and the first player in runs it. On our servers you pick the OpenRA version in the panel, the server updates itself on every start, and you get full file access over SFTP and SSH.
Always Online.
Your server stays up when you log off, so your group can play any time.
Full Control.
Pick your OpenRA version, and turn automatic updates on or off.
