How to make a Garry's Mod server

A GMod server is the clubhouse: your gamemode, your addons, your rules. Setup on FadeHost takes minutes, including a Workshop collection.

  1. 1

    Create your server

    Start the free 7-day trial (no credit card) or pick a plan — 2 GB runs sandbox easily; heavy DarkRP addon packs like 4 GB. Then hit Create Server in the panel, choose Garry's Mod and your region, and the server installs itself. Your server's address and port appear on the server page as soon as it's up.

  2. 2

    Pick a gamemode and addons

    Choose the gamemode (Sandbox, DarkRP, TTT, Prop Hunt, and more) and paste a Steam Workshop collection ID from the Settings tab — the server mounts the whole collection, and joining players download it automatically.

  3. 3

    Name and protect the server

    Set the hostname players see in the browser, plus an optional join password, from the panel. Custom configs go in via the file manager (custom.cfg is loaded for you).

  4. 4

    Join the server

    Find your hostname in the in-game server browser, or open the console (~) and run connect with the address and port from your server page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much RAM does a Garry's Mod server need?

GMod is light — 2 GB runs a vanilla sandbox comfortably. Heavily modded servers or big DarkRP communities benefit from 4 GB or more.

Can I run DarkRP, TTT or other gamemodes?

Yes — set the gamemode in your server settings and add the gamemode's addons via a Steam Workshop collection. The server downloads everything automatically at boot.

How do Workshop addons work?

Create a Workshop collection on Steam, paste its ID into your server settings and restart. All addons in the collection are downloaded and mounted automatically.
