The Ultimate Source Engine Sandbox
Garry's Mod isn't just a game; it's a massive platform driven by its community. Whether you're running a serious DarkRP economy, a chaotic Trouble in Terrorist Town (TTT) match, or just building massive physics contraptions in Sandbox, you need a server that can handle the load.
Hosting a private or community GMod server gives you full control. Public servers heavily restrict your props, tools, and scripts. With your own dedicated server, you install the exact Workshop addons you want, configure custom Lua scripts, mount CSS textures, and build your own unique community from the ground up.
Custom Game Modes
Easily switch between DarkRP, TTT, Prop Hunt, Murder, and hundreds of other community-created gamemodes with a simple config edit.
Steam Workshop Support
Simply paste your Steam Workshop Collection ID into the panel. The server automatically downloads your addons and forces clients to sync them.
Advanced Lua Scripting
Get full FTP access to modify gamemodes, tweak addon code, and install admin mods like ULX and ULib exactly the way you want.
