What is Silksong Server Hosting?

SSMP is the community mod that brings your friends into Silksong. A Silksong server runs the SSMP server for your group around the clock, so nobody has to host from their own game or forward ports. With Physgun you pick the SSMP version, share enemies and progress, set PvP, teams and damage in the config editor, keep strangers out with the whitelist, and get full file access over SFTP and SSH.

Always Online.

Your server stays up when you log off, so friends can join any time.

Your Rules.

Co-op or PvP, shared progress or not, and who gets to join.
