Genuinely Blown Away, 5*

Having explained my frustrations with other hosting services regarding a space engineers server, Matt was able to identify exactly what I needed and assist me with getting the correct service and setup requirements I needed for my group's needs and ambitions. The interface for GTX is incredibly user friendly with easy setup and access to customer service for any further issues or concerns with prompt response and genuine attention given to the customer.

I have used many Game Server Hosting…

I have used many Game Server Hosting companies, and GTXGaming.co.uk is the best by far. Super fast and helpful support, good priced, has a really user friendly server panel for managing the servers, and has mod support for the servers, also for addition support you can join their discord. I have used servers for: 7 days to die, ARK, Conan, Terraria, Valheim, Rust and Minecraft. All 10/10 experiences!

★★★★☆

A good service with a great support team.

I had been looking for a dedicated server to set up and play Space Engineers with friends. I came across this service and it looked exactly like what I needed. I was new to setting up servers, so I was a little bit reluctant at first, but the information provided on the control panel helped get the ball rolling and soon enough we were playing.

FAQ

Space Engineers Server Hosting FAQ

Getting Started

How fast is Space Engineers server setup?

+
Instantly! Your Space Engineers server is activated immediately after payment. You'll receive your control panel login and connection details within seconds and your server is deployed on our high-frequency hardware in under 60 seconds.

What is included with a Space Engineers server?

+
Every Space Engineers server includes your choice of 10 to 200 player slots, up to 10GB of RAM and up to 100GB of NVMe storage included free, enterprise DDoS protection, scheduled offsite backups, full config access through our control panel and 24/7 support. Optional upgrades cover more RAM (up to 64GB), more storage, High or Realtime CPU priority and CPU clock boosts.

Can I install mods on my Space Engineers server?

+
Yes. Add Steam Workshop mods, blocks and in-game scripts to your world configuration through the control panel's Mod Manager, and manage Mod.io content for crossplay servers the same way. Console players cannot use Steam Workshop content, so stick to Mod.io mods when Xbox or PlayStation players need to join.

Does my Space Engineers server support crossplay?

+
Yes. Our Space Engineers servers run the official crossplay dedicated server build, so PC, Xbox and PlayStation 5 players can build and survive in the same world. For mixed-platform communities use Mod.io mods, which work on every platform.
Server & Upgrades

How many players can join a Space Engineers server?

+
You choose your slot count at checkout, from 10 up to 200 players, and you can change it at any time afterwards. Space Engineers performance scales with what your community builds as much as with player count, so pair high slot counts with a RAM upgrade and a CPU priority tier to keep simulation speed smooth on busy servers.

Can I upgrade my Space Engineers server later?

+
Yes. Player slots, memory, disk space, CPU priority and clock boosts can all be changed at any time from your client area, and the change is applied without losing any server data. You can downgrade too, and a credit will be given. Location moves are handled by our support team via ticket or live chat.

Which locations can I host a Space Engineers server in?

+
17 locations worldwide: New York, Ashburn, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Los Angeles, Portland, Quebec, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Helsinki, Stockholm, Moscow, Mumbai, Singapore and Sydney. Run the ping test on this page to find your lowest-latency location, then pick it during checkout.

Can I choose my world or scenario?

+
Yes. Start your server from any official scenario or premade world, tune every world setting from the control panel, or upload an existing save from another host or your own PC with the World Manager. Our support team can help with world transfers if you get stuck.

What affects Space Engineers server performance?

+
Simulation speed is the number to watch. Grid count and complexity, running scripts, mods and player count all load the CPU, which is why we run Space Engineers on high-frequency hardware. If your community builds big, step up through the RAM tiers and add a High or Realtime CPU priority upgrade to keep sim speed at 1.0.

Should I host a Space Engineers server from my own PC?

+
You can. Keen Software House publish free dedicated server software for Space Engineers, so self-hosting is possible. In practice a home connection struggles with the upload bandwidth, 24/7 uptime and DDoS exposure a public server needs, and every game update has to be applied by hand. A rented server gives you professional hardware, enterprise DDoS protection and automatic updates without leaving your own PC running.
Pricing & Billing

What is your refund policy?

+
We offer a 24-hour money-back guarantee on Space Engineers server hosting. If your server isn't right for you within the first 24 hours of order, contact us for a full refund, no questions asked.

What is the best Space Engineers server hosting in the United States?

+
GTX Gaming runs official partner Space Engineers server hosting, developed in collaboration with the game's creators, on high-frequency Intel and AMD Ryzen CPUs with NVMe storage in our United States datacenters, alongside 11 more locations worldwide. We are rated 4.7 out of 5 from more than 1,400 verified Trustpilot reviews, with instant setup, full config access, Steam Workshop and Mod.io support, scheduled offsite backups, enterprise DDoS protection and 24/7 support on every server.

Is GTX Gaming the cheapest Space Engineers server hosting in the USA?

+
GTX Gaming is not always the cheapest Space Engineers host, but it is one of the best premium options with strong value. Servers start at $11.39/mo for 10 slots with no setup fees, no contracts and a 24-hour money-back guarantee. Budget hosts typically hit lower prices with shared CPU cores and oversubscribed RAM, which shows up as falling simulation speed the moment your world gets busy.

Do you offer monthly Space Engineers server hosting with no contract?

+
Yes, every GTX Gaming Space Engineers server is billed monthly with no minimum contract and no setup fees. You can add or remove upgrades or cancel at any time straight from your client area. Quarterly, semi-annual and annual billing cycles are also available with optional discounts.
The Complete Guide

The Complete Guide to Space Engineers Server Hosting in the United States & Worldwide

Everything you need to know before you rent a Space Engineers server in the United States or any of GTX Gaming's worldwide datacenters, from what the engineering sandbox actually asks of a server to Steam Workshop and Mod.io mods, crossplay, world settings and scenarios, sizing slots and RAM, pricing and locations.

What Is Space Engineers Server Hosting?

Space Engineers server hosting is a managed online service that runs the official Space Engineers dedicated server software on professional hardware in a datacenter, around the clock, so your world stays online and your community always has a persistent place to build. GTX Gaming's hosting is official partner hosting, developed in collaboration with the game's creators, and every server comes with your choice of 10 to 200 player slots, enterprise DDoS protection, scheduled offsite backups and a web control panel that turns admin jobs like editing world settings, adding Steam Workshop or Mod.io content, restoring a backup and watching live performance into a few clicks.

What Is Space Engineers?

Space Engineers is an open-world sandbox game of engineering, construction, exploration and survival, developed and published by Keen Software House. Players build ships, stations, rovers and planetary bases from functional blocks in a volumetric physics world where everything can be assembled, damaged and destroyed. Since its release the game has grown through years of major updates and remains one of the most popular engineering sandboxes on Steam, with crossplay connecting PC, Xbox and PlayStation 5 players on dedicated servers.

  • Creative and survival: build without limits in creative mode, or mine, refine and manage power, oxygen and thrust in survival.
  • Volumetric physics: ships and stations are functional machines; damage is structural and deformation is real.
  • Planets and space: fully destructible voxel planets, moons, asteroid fields and open space in one world.
  • Automation: programmable blocks, rotors, pistons and sensors enable everything from drills to drone fleets.

Why Rent a Space Engineers Server?

Keen Software House publish free dedicated server software for Space Engineers, so you could self-host from a spare PC. Most communities rent instead, for reasons that show up the first time a big build pushes simulation speed down while the host is asleep:

  • 24/7 persistent world: your grids keep running, refineries keep working and friends in any timezone can log in and build.
  • Simulation speed: Space Engineers is one of the most CPU-hungry sandbox games there is. Dedicated high-frequency cores keep sim speed at 1.0 where a home PC or budget host stutters.
  • DDoS protection: public servers attract attacks; enterprise mitigation at the datacenter edge keeps yours online.
  • Automatic updates: a managed server keeps itself in sync with every Keen Software House release; a home server waits for you to notice.

Mods, Scripts & Workshop Content

Modding keeps Space Engineers worlds fresh, and our servers support the full spectrum. On PC-focused servers, add Steam Workshop mods, blocks, skyboxes and world scripts to your configuration straight from the control panel's Mod Manager. Crossplay servers use Mod.io content, which works on every platform, and the panel manages both sources the same way:

  • Steam Workshop: thousands of community mods, from quality-of-life tweaks and new blocks to full progression overhauls.
  • Mod.io: the cross-platform mod service Space Engineers uses for consoles; pick Mod.io versions of your mod list when Xbox or PlayStation players need to join.
  • In-game scripts: programmable-block scripts run inside your world for automation, displays and fleet control.
  • Easy management: enable, disable and reorder your mod list from the panel, restart, done. We support all Space Engineers mods and DLC.

What Hardware Does Space Engineers Server Hosting Need?

Space Engineers looks like a building game until the physics engine has to simulate every grid, rotor, piston and script in your world at once. Simulation speed is single-thread CPU bound, and large worlds with long-lived builds lean hard on RAM. Budget hosts run this kind of server on oversubscribed shared cores, and it shows as sim speed dropping exactly when your community's builds get interesting. GTX Gaming Space Engineers servers run on:

  • High-frequency Intel and AMD Ryzen CPUs: fast cores keep simulation speed at 1.0 while grids multiply.
  • RAM sized to your world: up to 10GB free, with tiers through 12GB and 16GB all the way to 64GB for big worlds, long mod lists and high slot counts.
  • NVMe storage: up to 100GB free for the server build, world saves and backups, with tiers to 200GB and an extreme 14,000MB/s NVMe option.
  • CPU priority and clock boosts: High and Realtime CPU priority plus +5% to +20% clock boost tiers squeeze out extra headroom for the busiest worlds.

As a rule of thumb: a 10-slot vanilla world is comfortable on the included RAM; a modded server or a bigger community should step up a RAM tier; and a large public server running heavy scripts benefits from 16GB or more plus a CPU priority upgrade.

How Much Does Space Engineers Server Hosting Cost in the United States?

Pricing scales with the two resources that actually matter: player slots and RAM. The three presets below cover most communities, and every part of them can be adjusted at checkout:

  • Basic: 10 slots, up to 10GB RAM, up to 100GB NVMe from $11.39/mo. Small engineering crews.
  • Recommended: 30 slots, up to 12GB RAM from $41.94/mo. Modded community servers, most buyers.
  • Ultra: 60 slots, up to 16GB RAM from $77.81/mo. Big public servers and heavy mod packs.
  • Custom build: your choice of 10 to 200 slots, RAM to 64GB, storage and CPU priority, from $11.39/mo.

All plans include instant setup, DDoS protection, scheduled offsite backups, full mod support, full config access and 24/7 support, with no setup fees and no contracts. Billing is monthly and you can change slots, RAM and upgrades or cancel at any time.
