$3.50/monthfor the 2GB Garry's Mod needs
Plans start at $2.50/month, then $1 per extra GB. It's the same price for every game we host — you're paying for RAM, not the title — so one subscription runs Garry's Mod today and anything else tomorrow.See how pricing works

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
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
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
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
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.
How many players can a Garry's Mod server hold?
Up to 128 players. Sandbox and prop hunt scale to large counts easily; addon-heavy DarkRP servers feel best around 32-64 players — add RAM if you push higher.
How do I add custom maps to my GMod server?
Two ways: include the maps in a Steam Workshop collection so they download automatically, or upload .bsp files to the maps folder via SFTP. Set the starting map in your server settings, then restart.
Is there a free trial for Garry's Mod hosting?
Yes — a 7-day free trial with no credit card. Spin up a GMod server, load a gamemode and Workshop collection, and invite friends before paying anything. No GSLT or Steam token is required.
