What it is
Shockbyte Astroneer Server Hosting provides a persistent multiplayer server for friends to explore, build and colonise planets together. The server stays running while its owner is offline, so players can continue in the shared world. Owners can adjust settings such as player limits and mods, with full file access and configuration options. The listed hosting features include instant setup, automatic backups, a live server console, a control panel and server migration. The Astronium plan is $6.99 a month and lists 8 players and 2GB RAM; the facts also list other slot and RAM figures, with a maximum of 16 players. Hosting supports Steam, mods, custom weather, scenarios and mutators. Shockbyte advertises 99.9% uptime, DDoS protection, 24/7 support, self-serve guides and a 72-hour self-serve refund. Its SLA separately targets 99.99% monthly network availability for qualifying outages, while excluding certain software, configuration, client-caused and resource-limit interruptions. Shockbyte is based in Melbourne and has provided game server hosting since 2013.
