Factorio server hosting
Run a headless Factorio server on a Nxeon VPS — full root over SSH, fast single-thread cores for big megabases, Mod Portal modpacks, DDoS protection, and a dedicated IPv4. From $4.99/mo.
A dedicated Factorio server keeps your factory running and simulating even when you log off, so your friends can extend the rail network and belt spaghetti around the clock. Running your own on a Nxeon VPS means full root over SSH to install the headless server, drop in a Mod Portal modpack, and tune every server setting yourself.
Factorio's simulation runs on a single fast core, so clock speed is what keeps your UPS at 60 as the factory grows. Our plans pair quick cores with enterprise NVMe on ZFS, a dedicated IPv4, always-on DDoS protection, and automatic backups — the combination a sprawling megabase actually needs.
A small factory runs happily on 2 GB, mid-size co-op saves want 4 GB, and heavy overhaul packs like Krastorio 2 + Space Exploration do better with more headroom. Resize any time as your factory — and your friend group — grows.

Questions, answered
What are the requirements for a Factorio server?+
Factorio is CPU-led, not RAM-hungry — the sim runs on a single fast core, so clock speed matters more than core count. A small factory runs comfortably on 2 GB; a large megabase with heavy overhaul mods is happier on 4–8 GB and the fastest cores you can get. Our plans pair quick cores with NVMe so your UPS stays at 60.
Is Factorio server hosting Steam-based?+
No — the Factorio headless server is a direct download from the official site, not Steam. That makes it simple to install and update over SSH with full root, and it means no Steam account or GSLT is required to run a public server.
Can I run modpacks like Krastorio 2 or Space Exploration?+
Yes. Mods come from the official Factorio Mod Portal as .zip files that drop into the server's mods folder, managed via mod-list.json. The one golden rule is that every client must run the exact same mods and versions as the server — our install guide covers the full workflow.
How many players can join?+
Factorio scales well for co-op — dozens of players are fine on a fast core. The limiting factor is usually the size of the factory (UPS), not player count, so a fast CPU and NVMe matter more than a big slot number.
Can I keep my save backed up?+
Yes. With full root you control autosaves, and our platform adds scheduled backups and snapshots so a corrupt save or a bad mod update never costs you your megabase.
