OpenTTD Server Hosting, Explained
New to OpenTTD?
What is OpenTTD?
OpenTTD is a business simulation game in which players earn money by transporting passengers and cargo via road, rail, water and air. It is a free, open-source remake and expansion of Chris Sawyer's 1995 Transport Tycoon Deluxe. Connect industries and towns on maps of up to 4096 x 4096 tiles, in one of four climates, and keep up as new vehicles arrive over the decades and towns grow.

Why rent a server?
What is OpenTTD Server Hosting?
An OpenTTD dedicated server keeps your shared map online around the clock, so everyone can log in at different times and keep building, without a PC left on at home or ports to forward. On our servers you set the server name, passwords, player and company limits and game version in the panel, shape new maps and the economy in the config editor, run JGR's Patch Pack, one click away in the panel, and get full file access over SFTP and SSH for your saves.
Always Online.
Your map stays up when you log off, so your group can play any time.
Full Control.
Set your map, rules and passwords, and pick the version it runs.
