Xonotic Server Hosting, Explained

What is Xonotic?

New to Xonotic?

What is Xonotic?

Xonotic is a free, open-source arena shooter in the style of Quake and Unreal Tournament, built on the DarkPlaces engine. It began in 2010 as a fork of Nexuiz. You frag other players with sci-fi weapons that each have two fire modes, pick up health and armor on the map, and get around fast with strafe jumping and rocket jumping. Matches are short, and the next map is voted on or picked from the list.

Fast Movement.

Strafe jumping and rocket jumping make movement as much a skill as aim.

Many Modes.

Deathmatch, Duel, Capture the Flag, Clan Arena, Freeze Tag, Key Hunt, Race and more.

Why rent a server?

What is Xonotic Server Hosting?

A Xonotic dedicated server is your own arena that stays up around the clock. Hosting from your game ends the match when you quit, and needs port forwarding on your home network. A dedicated server gives your friends or clan a place to play with your own game mode, map list, mutators, bots and admin password. With us, it installs itself in minutes and comes with a panel for restarts, backups and your config.

Always Online.

Your server keeps running when you log off, so friends can play any time.

Your Rules.

Set the mode, maps, time and frag limits, mutators and votes.
