Whether you sail solo or assemble a crew of friends, every voyage brings new islands, deadly encounters, and untold treasure. Learn more on the official Windrose website.

Premium Windrose Dedicated Server Features
Every dedicated Windrose box launched on our APAC fleet ships with the full GTX feature stack — built for Australian crews who expect their server to just work, every session.
Enterprise DDoS Protection
Our AU datacentres feature enterprise-grade DDoS mitigation, keeping your server online and your crew sailing without interruption from malicious attacks.
Instant Deployment
Your dedicated server is provisioned and ready to play within seconds. No waiting, no delays — your world is live the moment payment clears.
24/7 Expert Support
Our dedicated support team is available around the clock to help with your server. Whether it's configuration, troubleshooting, or general queries, we're here for you.
Automatic Offsite Backups
Your world is automatically backed up to offsite storage. Lost your treasure to a server issue? Roll back to a previous save with a single click from your control panel.
Full Server Control Panel
Manage every aspect of your dedicated server through our intuitive web-based control panel. Adjust settings, manage players, install mods, and restart your server with ease.
AU-Based Server Locations
Low-latency Windrose game servers hosted from datacentres across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Enjoy minimal ping and smooth gameplay for your entire crew.
Enterprise-Grade Hardware
Windrose punishes underspec'd hardware: physics-driven naval combat, streaming procedural geography, and continuous world saves all hammer the CPU and storage layer at once. Our Australian Windrose fleet runs on enterprise silicon chosen specifically for that workload — no virtualised slices, no oversubscription, no compromises.
AMD Ryzen 9 9950X
16 cores, 32 threads, latest-gen Zen 5 architecture. High single-thread clock speeds — which is what game servers actually need — combined with enough parallel capacity to handle AI, physics, and multiple worlds without stutter.
DDR5 Memory
Significantly higher bandwidth and lower latency than DDR4. Matters for large multiplayer worlds where entity counts, ship physics, and save-state operations push memory throughput hard.
Enterprise NVMe SSDs
Ultra-fast read/write speeds for near-instant world loads, rapid autosaves, and fast offsite backups. No spinning disks, no SATA SSDs — NVMe only across our entire Windrose fleet.
Why Rent A Windrose Server From GTX?
The game has shipped, the wind is up, and the rest of the crew is waiting on Discord. This is what separates a proper GTX Australian server from the cut-rate competitors flooding the local market.
Instant Deployment
Place your order, finish payment, and your Australian dedicated server is online within seconds. The provisioning runs end-to-end automatically — no support ticket queue, no manual handoff, no waiting overnight for a tech to spin you up.
Dedicated Resources
Your CPU threads, your DDR5 RAM, and your NVMe space sit reserved exclusively for your crew. There's no oversubscription on our Australian boxes, so when another tenant's server goes ballistic you don't feel a thing — your tick rate stays steady.
Full Control
Mob multipliers, ship damage scaling, world presets, custom invite codes, password protection, scheduled restarts, mod files — every knob is exposed in the GTX control panel and editable from your browser. No console access required, no support tickets to make tiny config changes.
Best Pricing
Pricing kicks off at A$16.43 per month and the figure on the order page is the figure you actually pay each cycle. No surprise setup charges, no quiet renewal hikes, and no stripped-back specs to make the headline number look better — just transparent Australian pricing for serious hardware.
