S&Box Server Hosting

With our instant S&Box server deployment, your server is ready in under 60 seconds! Unlike other hosts requiring manual setup, our automated system pre-configures your S&Box dedicated server with optimized settings, installs the latest updates, and provides immediate access to your control panel.

Our S&Box hosting plans include DDoS protection, NVMe SSD storage, automatic backups, SFTP access, mod support, and 24/7 monitoring. Unlike budget hosts, we don't charge extra for essential features like DDoS protection or server location switches – everything you need is included in one transparent price.

Absolutely! Our S&Box server hosting fully supports custom content. Upload your own creations via SFTP or Git, or simply set any gamemode and map from sbox.game and you're good to go. We also work with studios to ensure production deployments run smoothly on our high-performance infrastructure.

Yes! Our exclusive S&Box package manager is built directly into the control panel and lets you install any gamemode or map from sbox.game with a single click - no SFTP, no command line, and no manual file management. Browse the catalog, pick a package, and your server is ready to host within seconds. It's the fastest way to switch between gamemodes or try out community-made content on your S&Box dedicated server.

Our S&Box dedicated servers scale depending on your chosen plan and gamemode complexity. The Source 2 engine's improved networking allows for larger player counts than GMod, and our high-performance S&Box server hosting ensures smooth gameplay even with complex physics interactions and custom content.

S&Box, like most Source 2 games, is almost exclusively single-threaded for its core server loop - meaning raw per-core performance matters far more than core count. The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X is one of the best single-threaded chips on the market today, delivering exceptional clock speeds and IPC that translate directly into smoother physics, tighter tick rates, and lower latency for your players. We overclock them further to squeeze out every last drop of performance, so your S&Box server runs as fast as the engine can possibly go.

Not at all! While S&Box uses C# instead of Lua, our user-friendly control panel handles all the technical aspects. Features like automatic updates, pre-configured settings, and full SFTP and Git access mean anyone can run a successful S&Box server. For developers and studios, we provide full server access including console, file management, and production-ready infrastructure.

Other hosts only offer the Windows build of S&Box, running through a compatibility layer ("Proton") that allows the server to function on Linux. At Physgun, we're proud to be the first and only host to run S&Box servers natively on Linux without using Proton or any compatibility layers.

This means our S&Box servers have direct access to hardware resources without the overhead of translation layers, resulting in significantly better performance, lower latency, and improved stability compared to hosts running S&Box on Windows or through Proton. Our technical expertise allows us to optimize S&Box server hosting in ways that others simply can't match. That's Physgun.
