Satisfactory Server Hosting Canada

What Is Satisfactory Server Hosting?

Satisfactory server hosting is a managed service that runs the official Satisfactory dedicated server on professional hardware in a datacentre, around the clock, so your crew can keep building whether or not you are at your PC. Every GTX Gaming Satisfactory server includes up to 100GB of NVMe storage, daily automatic backups, enterprise DDoS protection and a web control panel, and our plans come with 8GB, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, so jobs like changing the player limit, adding mods or restoring a backup take a few clicks.

People look for it as a Satisfactory dedicated server, a Satisfactory game server or simply a Satisfactory server to rent, and they all mean the same thing: a private, always-on home for your own Satisfactory server, with your factories, your saves and your rules.

What Is Satisfactory?

Satisfactory is a first-person open-world factory building game from Coffee Stain Studios in Sweden. You play a pioneer sent by FICSIT Inc. to an alien planet, where you explore, gather resources, fight the local wildlife and build factories that grow from a few smelters into towering, automated production lines. It started in Early Access in 2019, left it with version 1.0 on 10 September 2024, and is on version 1.2 today.

• Factory building: place machines, connect them with conveyor belts, pipes and power lines, and automate every step from ore to the parts FICSIT asks for.
• Logistics: trains, trucks, drones and hypertubes move resources and pioneers across the map, and version 1.2 adds vehicle paths and Fluid Trucks.
• Progression: unlock tiers at the HUB, research at the MAM and deliver Project Assembly parts through the Space Elevator.
• Co-op: play alone or together, with players on Steam and the Epic Games Store sharing one dedicated server.
• What comes next: Coffee Stain announced Core Values, the first paid expansion for Satisfactory, in September 2026, with its release date still to be announced.

Why Rent a Satisfactory Server?

Coffee Stain makes the Satisfactory dedicated server free to download, so you could run it on a spare machine at home. Most crews rent a Satisfactory server instead, for reasons that show up within the first week:

• Always online: the server runs 24 hours a day, so anyone in your crew can log in and keep the factory growing without waiting for the host.
• Room to grow: a big save needs memory, and the official wiki lists 8GB for the server alone. A rented server keeps that load off your own PC.
• Nothing to run at home: no ports to open on your router and no PC left running overnight.
• Proper hardware: high-frequency CPUs and NVMe storage in a datacentre, with DDoS protection at the network edge.
• Backups and support: daily automatic backups on top of the game's own autosaves, and a 24/7 support team, mean a broken save is an inconvenience, not the end of your factory.

Getting Started: Claiming & Joining Your Satisfactory Server

Your server is set up the moment you order. Satisfactory manages dedicated servers from inside the game, so getting your crew onto the planet typically looks like this:

• Order: pick a plan and your location, and your server is set up instantly.
• Add it: in Satisfactory, open the Server Manager from the main menu and add your server with the IP address and port from your control panel.
• Claim it: the first time you connect, give the server a name and an admin password. Whoever claims the server is its admin, so do this straight away.
• Start playing: create a new game with your session name and starting location, or upload and load an existing save, then join.

Set a player password if the server should stay private. Your crew adds the same address in their own Server Manager, and the Web Console in your control panel shows the server's own output, so you can see straight away what it is doing.

Uploading Your Save & Blueprints

Already playing Satisfactory with friends? You do not have to start again. The game moves saves to a dedicated server for you:

• Back it up: keep a copy of your save on your own PC before you move it.
• Upload it: connect to your server in the Server Manager, open Manage Saves and choose Upload Save.
• Load it: pick the save under Load Game, then join from the server's status page.
• Blueprints: blueprints you designed in single player can be copied onto the server too, so your crew can build with them.

Moving from another host works the same way, or copy the save files in with the File Manager or SFTP. Our 24/7 support team can handle the whole move for you.

Server Settings, Player Limit & Autosaves

Most settings live in the game's Server Manager, where the admin manages the session, the saves and the passwords. A few live in the server's own files, which you edit through Configuration Files in the control panel:

• Admin password: set when you claim the server, and needed for every change in the Server Manager.
• Player password: optional. Leave it empty for an open server, or set one to keep it private.
• MaxPlayers: the player limit, in Game.ini. Coffee Stain tunes the server for four players by default and warns that a higher limit may affect stability, performance and resource use.
• Autosaves: by default the server autosaves every five minutes and keeps three rotating autosaves, alongside our daily backups.
• Game Modes and Creative Mode: chosen when you create a new game, from cost multipliers and world randomisation to free building.

The official wiki's dedicated server pages list every setting, and our support team can make any change for you.

Mods on Your Satisfactory Server

Satisfactory has an active modding community, and the community-made Satisfactory Mod Manager installs mods for you, on your PC and on your server. On your GTX server it works like this:

• Install Satisfactory Mod Manager on your PC.
• Stop your server and copy the SFTP mod path from Server Details in your control panel.
• Add the server under Manage Servers in Satisfactory Mod Manager, in its advanced SFTP mode, with that path.
• Install your mods and start the server. Every player needs the same mods.

Read each mod's description first, as not every mod is made for multiplayer, and add one mod at a time. When Satisfactory updates, some mods stop working until their authors update them, so check your mods before you update the server.

Updates, Version 1.2 & the Experimental Branch

Your server runs the official dedicated server for Satisfactory 1.2, released in June 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S at the same time. It brought back rain with new weather presets, reworked vehicle paths, added the Fluid Station and Fluid Truck, introduced Game Modes and renamed the advanced game settings to Creative Mode. When Coffee Stain releases a patch, update your server from the control panel with Steam Update, so your crew's game and the server stay on the same version.

Coffee Stain tests big changes on the Experimental branch first. Install the Experimental update branch from the Mod Manager's Advanced Tools in your control panel to try them early, and back up your save before you switch, as Coffee Stain advises. Dedicated servers are for the PC version only: the official wiki says dedicated servers are not available for the console release.

How Much Does Satisfactory Server Hosting Cost in Canada?

You pay for slots and memory, with up to 100GB of NVMe storage included on every server:

• 10 slots with 5GB: from CA$16.90/mo. A lighter start for a brand-new world.
• Pioneer, 10 slots with 8GB: from CA$22.22/mo. The amount of RAM the official wiki lists.
• Factory, 10 slots with 12GB: from CA$29.34/mo. Our pick for a growing mid-game save.
• Megafactory, 20 slots with 16GB: from CA$52.64/mo. Late-game saves and bigger groups.

All plans include instant setup, DDoS protection, daily automatic backups and 24/7 support, with no setup fee and no contract. Billing is monthly by default, with three-month, six-month and yearly cycles available at a discount, and you can change plan or cancel at any time.

How Many Slots & How Much RAM Does a Satisfactory Server Need?

Memory matters more than slots. The official Satisfactory wiki lists 8GB of RAM for a dedicated server, and says 16GB may be recommended for larger saves or to host more than four players. A new world through the early tiers runs on the Pioneer plan's 8GB; once trains, drones and the mid-game tiers fill your map, the Factory plan's 12GB gives your save room to grow, and a late-game megafactory or a bigger group belongs on 16GB or more. On slots, every plan starts at 10, which covers the four players Coffee Stain tunes the server for and leaves room for friends once you raise the limit in Game.ini. Watch live memory use in the control panel and add memory, up to 32GB, at any time.
