Your World Stays Available

Keep Your Factorio Factory Online And Ready For Every Player

Give your multiplayer factory a permanent server address so players can join, build and continue the production line without relying on one person to host the session.

Deploy the Factorio application image, upload or create your save and keep the server available around the clock. You control player access, mods, configuration, autosaves and restart schedules.

The Factorio image gives you a faster starting point, while root access keeps the server fully self-managed after deployment.

What Changes When The World Has Its Own Server

  • Friends connect to one public server address instead of a player-hosted session.
  • The factory can stay available while your own gaming PC is switched off.
  • You control the Factorio version, mods, ports, player access and restart schedules.
  • CPU, RAM and NVMe storage can be selected around the size and activity of the factory you plan to run.
  • Client-area controls keep power, reboot, password reset and server details within reach.
Do Not Pay For The Wrong CPU Route

Choose Flexible VPS Or Dedicated CPU For The Same Factorio Deployment

Both routes deploy the same Factorio application image. The difference is flexible shared CPU resources on VPS versus dedicated CPU resources on VDS.

From £14.99/month

Factorio VPS

Deploy the Factorio application on flexible shared CPU resources at the lower starting price.

  • The same Factorio application image
  • Flexible CPU, RAM and NVMe configuration
  • Full root access for saves, mods and settings
  • Upgrade resources as the factory grows
Configure Factorio VPS
From £29.99/month

Factorio VDS

Deploy the same Factorio application with dedicated CPU resources for more consistent performance under sustained load.

  • Larger factories with heavier mod collections
  • More active players building at the same time
  • More entities, trains, logistics and factory automation
  • Server owners who want dedicated CPU from day one

Order Around The Factory You Will Run

Give Factorio Enough Memory Without Ignoring The CPU

These are practical starting points, not player-count guarantees. Factory size, active entities, trains, mods, map age and concurrent activity all change the load. Factorio simulation speed can become CPU-bound as the factory grows.

Lighter Start

A Small Private Factory

4GB RAM

A sensible VPS starting point for a small unmodded or lightly modded factory with a few regular players.

  • Keep the mod list and active factory size sensible
  • Leave memory for Linux, the save and server processes
  • Upgrade when the factory and entity count grow
Build A 4GB VPS
Stronger Starting Point

Mods And A Growing Factory

8GB RAM

A stronger starting point for a growing save, a broader mod list or more simultaneous building activity.

  • More breathing room for the server, mods and save data
  • Suitable for a more active private group
  • Consider VDS when CPU demand also rises
Configure An 8GB Server
Heavy Factorio Use

Large Factories, Trains And Heavy Automation

12GB+ RAM

Pair more memory with dedicated CPU when the factory, trains, mods and active simulation create sustained server load.

  • Dedicated CPU VDS route available
  • Scale memory and NVMe storage together
  • Monitor actual usage after launch
Build A Factorio VDS
No Locked Game Panel

Deploy Factorio First, Then Add Your Saves, Mods And Management Tools

Root access gives you control over the Factorio server software instead of limiting you to a fixed list of game-panel options.

Select the Factorio application image during deployment, then upload or create your save, configure player access and add the mods or management tools you need.
