Simply click the order link above and choose your Factorio server options. Here’s a brief explanation of each option and what it means:
Slots
This is the maximum number of players your Factorio server can accommodate at one time.
Location
This refers to the physical location of your Factorio game server. Choosing a server location closer to you or your players results in lower latency. Lower latency, or ping, is the response time of your game server to in-game actions. Lower latency improves the overall gaming experience.
Extreme Performance Locations
We offer extreme performance locations with Ryzen 9 7950x CPUs, providing some of the best performance available. If you're seeking top-tier performance for your Factorio server, select an extreme location. Note that if you choose this option, the CPU Clock Speed addon isn’t necessary.
Memory Allocation
Factorio servers demand memory, especially for larger game worlds or resource-intensive mods. Our lowest memory option is usually sufficient, but for expansive worlds or heavy mod usage, you may want to consider a higher memory allocation. You can always upgrade later. Our control panel allows real-time monitoring of CPU, memory, and hard disk usage and provides historical data for the past 30 days.
CPU Clock Speed
For our standard locations, we use Ryzen 9 5950x CPUs. We also offer overclocked 5950x CPUs, so this addon can enhance your Factorio server’s performance. However, for the best overall gaming experience, our extreme locations with the Ryzen 9 7950x might be preferable.
Disk Space
You have the option to upgrade your server's hard disk space if needed. Factorio servers typically require minimal disk space, so upgrading isn’t always necessary. This option is available based on user demand.
CPU Priority
In our shared hosting environment for Factorio servers, multiple servers are hosted on a single machine. Choosing the CPU priority option gives your server greater precedence over others on the same machine, which can be crucial for performance, especially during periods of heavy resource usage.
VIP Ticket Priority Support
We offer VIP support to prioritize your tickets. Our staff provides 24-hour support, and during busy times, this option places yourc ticket at the top of our list with a response time of 1-15 minutes. While not essential due to our fast standard response times, it's available for those who want premium support.
Our pricing plans above have been carefully selected to provide you with a guide on what you may need. Remember you can always upgrade at any point so should you need more power for your Factorio game server you can get it instantly with our upgrade option.
Payment Terms
You can choose from monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annual plans. The longer plan you choose, the cheaper the price becomes.
