S&box Hosting FAQ

S&box Server Hosting - Common Questions

Everything builders ask before they spin up their first S&box server. Tap a question to expand the answer.

What is S&box?

S&box is the spiritual successor to Garry's Mod, built by Facepunch Studios on Valve's Source 2 engine. It's a sandbox platform where players build, share and host community-made game modes written in C#.

How quickly does my S&box server deploy?

Your S&box server is live in under 60 seconds after checkout. There's no waiting room, no manual provisioning - the control panel is ready immediately so you can invite friends and start playing.

What hardware do you use for S&box hosting?

We use high-clock Ryzen and Intel i9 CPUs, dedicated DDR5 RAM (never oversold) and pure NVMe storage. Source 2 leans on single-thread performance, so we picked hardware that suits S&box specifically - not generic VPS leftovers.

Do you support S&box Workshop and community game modes?

Yes. You can hot-load community game modes and assets directly from the s&box platform via our control panel - no SSH, no manual file uploads, no faffing.

Is DDoS protection included with S&box hosting?

Yes - multi-Tbps DDoS mitigation is included on every S&box hosting plan at no extra cost. It's always on, in front of every node, with no opt-in or paid add-on.

Can I migrate my existing S&box server to GTX Gaming?

Absolutely. Free migration is included with every plan - our team will move your saves, configs and assets across from your existing host so you don't lose any progress. Just open a ticket after you order.

Which datacentre should I pick for my S&box server?

Use the in-page ping tester - it tests latency from your browser to all 11 of our datacentres (London, Paris, Frankfurt, New York, Dallas, Oregon, Charlotte, Washington, Quebec, Singapore and Sydney) and recommends the closest one.

Can I cancel my S&box server hosting at any time?

Yes. We bill monthly with no setup fees and no long contracts. Cancel any time from your client area - no questions, no exit fees.
