S&Box

Bring your ideas to life in Facepunch's next-generation sandbox.

s&box is the spiritual successor to Garry's Mod, built by Facepunch on the Source 2 engine. Rather than a fixed game, it's a platform: the community creates and publishes its own gamemodes in C#, from sandbox to prop hunt, roleplay and mini-games. An s&box server is the always-on online space where your community meets to play those gamemodes together, around the clock, even when your own computer is off.

Hosting your s&box server with us rather than on your own machine means peace of mind. Your server stays online around the clock, shielded by DDoS protection, without exposing your personal address or lagging your own game when you play. s&box runs on Source 2 and executes C# code in real time: it is CPU clock speed that drives smoothness, not just RAM. Our MyBox plans combine a high-frequency CPU with dedicated RAM, never shared, for a stable server even on the most ambitious gamemodes.

Spinning up an s&box server with us takes seconds, all managed from a clear panel. You choose the gamemode to load on startup, from Facepunch's official sandbox to community creations hosted on asset.party, and set the map, the player count and your server name. You can also attach a Steam token to keep a stable server identity and enjoy automatic updates. You configure, it goes live, you play.

The power of Source 2, no compromise

s&box runs C# code and Source 2 physics in real time: the CPU is what drives smoothness. Our MyBox plans combine a high-frequency CPU with dedicated RAM, never shared, to handle the load even on the most demanding gamemodes.

Frequently asked questions about S&Box hosting

Pick a plan that fits your player count and your s&box server is delivered in seconds. From the panel, select the gamemode to load, set the map and server name, then share your address with your players. No technical skills or SteamCMD install required, everything is preconfigured.

Plan for around 8 GB for a small server with friends, and 16 to 20 GB for 20 to 40 players on an asset-heavy gamemode. Usage depends mostly on the gamemode, its physics and its scripts. CPU clock speed matters as much as RAM, and you can adjust your plan in a few clicks.

It all happens from the panel, in a single variable. Enter the game package identifier to load on startup, for example facepunch.sandbox for the official sandbox, or one of a community creation published on asset.party, then restart. Your server loads the new gamemode and its map.

Yes. s&box is available on Steam, and your players and you must own the game to join a server. Hosting itself needs no extra license: our dedicated server automatically fetches the required files. You pay for your hosting plan, your players for their copy of the game.

Yes. s&box is a platform: your server can load Facepunch's official sandbox as well as the many community creations, from roleplay modes to prop hunt and mini-games. Gamemodes are hosted on asset.party, and your server pulls the one you choose on startup.

Your server stays online 24/7 even with your computer off, protected by DDoS mitigation, and your personal address is never exposed. Your players no longer get lag when you play, and our support helps you whenever you are stuck. All without buying or tying up a dedicated machine at home.

Use the recommended RAM by player count table above on this page. There is no wrong choice: start at the size that fits you, and increase your plan in two clicks as your community grows. The gamemode you run also affects the load.
