Renting a game server is the simplest way to host your server, as almost everything is done for you. Similar to VPS hosting with the differences being a proper UI and autoverification (note that autoverification is done only on the '''partnered server hosts''' mentioned below).

Servers allow players to play online with other people. They can be hosted by the players themselves or by a game hosting service. Servers should optimally allow up to around 20 players, though more can join the server, it will run significantly slower.

Server Browser

The server browser is used to display all verified servers sorted by ping/location, with official servers in your region always being shown first.


Example of what the server browser might look like

Hosting a server

A server must be hosted on a machine to be playable, this can be done in a number of ways.

Hosting from home or using a VPS

  • Hosting from home is an easy task and is mostly free, but will require you to dedicate a computer to host the server and have acceptable specifications of the computer and internet speed.
  • Hosting on a VPS is more complex and has upkeep costs, but is the most flexible, fully dedicated, has a static IP address and requires no port forwarding.


Both home hosting and VPS hosting follow the same instructions, the only difference being that a VPS server setup will be done over a FTP client and doesn't require port forwarding.

Renting a game server

Renting a game server is the simplest way to host your server, as almost everything is done for you. Similar to VPS hosting with the differences being a proper UI and autoverification (note that autoverification is done only on the partnered server hosts mentioned below).


SCP:SL is currently partnered with two game hosting services:

Verification

For a server to be visible on the server browser, it has to be verified.


Verification is a mostly manual process in which the server's config is checked to see if it follows the Verified Server Rules, if it does the server is issued a verification key which the server uses to authorize itself to the server browser.


This is bypassed on the aforementioned game server hosting services.

Server Moderation

To moderate their server owners and assigned server staff have access to the Remote Admin panel, it allows general moderation features such as kick, ban and mute as well as more cheaty options such as spawning items, giving godmode or door bypasses.
