Fatality Servers Starbound Server Hosting

Overview

Fatality Servers offers managed Starbound cloud hosting alongside root-access VPS hosting, dedicated servers and custom server setup. The managed option is aimed at players who want a game server and web control panel, while VPS and dedicated plans provide other ways to host and administer a server. The provider says a Starbound server can be deployed in under 60 seconds.

The Starbound hosting page specifies Ryzen 9 7950X processors with boost speeds up to 5.7 GHz, DDR5-5200 RAM and enterprise NVMe storage. These are the listed infrastructure specifications; the available memory, CPU and storage amounts depend on the plan. Fatality Servers describes its company as a small team hosting managed game servers, VPS and dedicated servers for gaming communities.

Key features

Mod installation and file access

Starbound mod support covers Steam Workshop subscriptions, manual .pak uploads and installation through the mods folder. Frackin' Universe is specifically supported. FTP access is listed, and SFTP is the stated route for moving existing universe, storage and player folders to a new server.

VPS hosting offers root access, which gives server administrators more control over the software they install. The VPS page lists Ubuntu, Debian and Windows as available operating systems. The managed cloud plans instead include a web control panel and FTP.

Backups and administration

Universe, storage and player folders are snapshotted every 15 minutes, with 30-day retention and one-click rollback through the dashboard. The web console includes tools for viewing the player list, broadcasting messages, scheduling restarts and managing administrators. The plan information also lists automatic backups and a modpack installer.

Network, locations and support

The maker says Layer 3/4/7 DDoS mitigation is included with every plan at no extra cost. Listed datacenter locations are New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Warsaw, Singapore, Tokyo and Sydney. Starbound support is available through live chat, Discord and tickets, with support tiers varying by plan.

Pricing

Fatality Servers is a paid service with no free plan. The managed cloud range starts at 3.90 USD per month, and the listed entry-level plan includes 8 player slots, 2 GB of RAM, 2 vCPU and 30 GB of NVMe SSD storage.

The starting prices distinguish the broad hosting categories from the individually named plans. For example, Cloud Hosting and Cloud Basic are both listed at $3.90 /mo, while the VPS Hosting starting price and VPS Basic are both $8.90 /mo. The custom setup is a one-time charge rather than a monthly hosting price.

Platforms

Fatality Servers lists Linux, web and Windows as supported platforms. Linux and Windows are also named as VPS operating-system choices, alongside Ubuntu and Debian. The web control panel provides browser-based access to the managed server's console and administration tools.

Who it's for

The managed cloud plans suit Starbound groups looking for a hosted server with an included control panel, file access, backups and mod support. Slot, memory, CPU and storage allowances vary across the Cloud Basic, Standard and Premium tiers, so groups can compare the listed limits with their expected server needs.

Administrators who want root access or a choice of operating system can consider the VPS plans. Dedicated hosting is listed for people who want bare-metal hardware or intend to host multiple Starbound universes. Groups that want installation, mod-stack configuration and initial access controls handled as a separate service can choose Custom Server Setup.

Verdict

Fatality Servers covers several needs under one provider: managed Starbound hosting, root-access VPS, dedicated hardware and paid setup assistance. Its clearest strengths in the listed offer are broad mod installation options, scheduled snapshots with rollback, console administration tools and a wide range of datacenter locations. The main decision is which level of control and capacity fits the community: managed cloud plans provide a defined hosted setup, while VPS and dedicated options offer more resources or administrative control at higher listed prices. Check the plan-specific limits and support tier when choosing.
