Why Host Starbound with Gravel Host?

Starbound's procedurally generated universe and multi-player exploration put real strain on CPU and network. Our Starbound hosting is tuned so your worlds feel smooth even when planets are loaded with players, mobs, and mods.

Custom Game Panel

Manage your Starbound dedicated server from one dashboard. Start, stop, and restart, edit the server config, manage players, and view live logs - no SSH or command line required.

Instant Setup

Your Starbound server deploys in about 60 seconds of checkout. The official Starbound dedicated server comes pre-installed - set your world name, password, and rules from the game panel, share your IP, and start exploring the universe.

Mods & Custom Maps

Full FTP and file manager access lets you tweak config, install mods and plugins, and manage server files exactly how you want. Everything a serious Starbound server owner needs.

DDoS Protection

Public Starbound servers can pull unwanted traffic fast. Every Gravel Host Starbound server includes enterprise DDoS protection on every plan and region at no extra cost - your sessions stay online even under attack.

3+ Years of Backups

We keep your Starbound server data for over three years. Come back after a patch and your worlds, characters, and configs are right where you left them. Daily automatic backups let you restore one-click.

Low-Latency Locations

Starbound PvP and co-op combat live and die on ping. Pick from server locations across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia so every player in your party gets low latency.
