ShootMania Storm Server Hosting, Explained

What is ShootMania Storm?

New to ShootMania Storm?

What is ShootMania Storm?

ShootMania Storm is a fast multiplayer arena shooter from Nadeo, the studio behind TrackMania, played on the ManiaPlanet network. Rounds are short and only your aim sets you apart: you hit opponents with rockets and lasers, or capture poles, in modes like Elite, where attackers face a single defender, Royal, Battle, Joust, Siege and Melee. With its map and script editors, players build their own maps and modes, so every server can offer something different.

Quick-Fire Matches.

Short rounds with few weapons, where aim and movement decide every fight.

Create Your Own Game.

Build maps and modes in the editors and share them with the community.

What is ShootMania Storm Server Hosting?

A ShootMania Storm dedicated server is an arena your group controls, running around the clock. You choose the title pack, the playlist that sets the mode and maps, the passwords and the player and spectator limits, so a clan, a league or a few friends can play their own way, and map makers can keep their maps online for others to try. Server controllers can connect with your admin passwords for matches and ladders. With us it installs itself in minutes, and you size the CPU, memory and storage yourself.

Always-On Arena.

Your server keeps running when you log off, without a PC left on at home.

Your Maps, Your Rules.

Run your own playlist with your own passwords and player limits.
