Fur-equently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about MeowNode's s&box hosting services

s&box is a next-generation sandbox game created by Facepunch Studios - the same team behind Garry's Mod. It lets players build and host custom game modes using C#, create interactive worlds, and explore community-made experiences on a shared platform.

Yes! s&box is built around custom game mode creation using C#. Our servers support any game modes you develop or download from the s&box community asset system.

Absolutely. Our servers are fully compatible with s&box's built-in asset and game mode distribution system, so players can easily access custom content on your server.

We never limit player slots. Performance depends on your chosen RAM tier and the complexity of your game mode. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time to match your community's needs.

Yes, we perform automated backups twice daily and retain them for 45 days. You can also create your own backups at any time through SFTP or the file manager.

Yes. Our litter of experts can help you migrate your existing server data and configurations to MeowNode at no extra cost.

Our One Tier approach gives you access to paw-erful hosting without an upsell. This means you get the purr-formance you expect for less.

No. We use a fair-usage model instead of hard CPU caps, which means your server can use the resources it needs when it needs them. We actively manage our node health to make sure that burst capacity is always available. For full hardware details, see our server hardware specifications page in the help center.

Every plan includes a baseline storage allocation on NVMe SSDs, and if you need more, we'll increase it for free - just open a ticket. Automated backups are stored separately and don't count toward your allocation.

Yes, your server runs 24/7 regardless of whether players are connected. It's always available for players to join at any time. All servers include DDoS protection and are backed by a 99.9% uptime guarantee.

Cannot commend Captain Meowington and the litter of experts enough, they got us all up and pouncing since the mod we wanted to play wasn't on the one-click install options. Would paws-itively recommend MeowNode to those who aren't very competent at setting up Minecraft servers! 10/10

Claw-some server hosting. Holds up mods purr-fectly and never experience lag or hiccups!

Mittens Purrington

Captain Meowington helped me get my server changed over to a different game with zero friction. They also came to the rescue on troubleshooting a modpack that wasn't in their Modpack Manager utility yet and kept me in the loop every step of the way. Fur-tastic, prompt, knowledgeable service.

Sir Pounces-a-Lot

One of the best servers to host from. Experience no lag whatsoever, smooth as a cat's stretch!

Princess Fluffy

This was a fur-tastic service. It would consistently run smoothly for us as long as we refreshed it once a week. That being with 4 people spending an average of 4 hours a day of active playing/building. Super claw-some option if no one in your group has a reliable rig/connection to host with.

Server hosting experience was smooth as a fresh-groomed coat, no complaints there, which is an automatic 4/5 stars. Once I read one of MeowNode's newsletters and realized that they don't take investor money and don't raise prices, that raised it to a 5/5. Please support these cool cats!

Very pleased with the help i have received from Sir Purrsworth and Captain Catnip. I was losing my mind and about to give up after frustratingly trying to get my world save on to the new server host. I eventually managed to do it but with lots of meow-velous help. I would still be stuck without them and I am extremely grateful for everything. (side note: the price of the server for what you get is less than half of what i had already paid for from a different server host. i am glad i decided to find somewhere else even though i had already paid for the previous server for the month but the change is more than worth it to me.)

I used this service from Indonesia to host a Discord bot, but unfortunately the server location is too far from my region. This resulted in higher latency and slower response times, which affected the bot’s purr-formance, especially for real-time commands. The setup process was as easy as a catnap, and the service itself worked as expected, but the distance to the server made it less ideal for my use case. For applications like Discord bots that rely on quick responses, server location plays a big role. In terms of purr-time, there were occasional unexpected downtimes. However, I appreciate that the litter of experts was quite responsive and helpful whenever issues occurred. It may still be a good option for users closer to their server regions, but for users in Indonesia, I recommend choosing a provider with servers in Asia for better purr-formance.

Site - 32 an SCP : SL Roleplay Server.

Excellent and dedicated support. When my server couldn't be set up properly due to an outside issue the litter of experts had done everything within their power, and I mean everything. As much as they couldn't resolve the issue, due to a problem to do with the official game makers!! Not to do with an issue with the providers of MeowNode, they had still exhausted all options until they were 100% sure that it was not an issue they could resolve, and directed me to the correct resources to have my issue resolved. The game panel is also incredibly easy to use and has some lovely design. With server info and diagnostics for memory usage and CPU usage very well displayed and quite quick with updates. MeowNode is also incredibly affordable for a good server plan, especially for new server owners. As well as customizable with the pricing - being able to switch between levels of RAM available to buy ranging from 2GB to 25GB typically. MeowNode also provides a nice range of countries to select for their servers, including the United States, Australia, United Kingdom, Germany, Finland and France. MeowNode also provides services for premium-tier Discord Bots, VPS Hosting, Game hosting and Web Hosting. For game hosting, MeowNode provides game servers from commonly large games including Minecraft, Terraria, ARK : Survival Evolved, Palworld and Hytale. Alongside less typically provided games, like SCP : Secret Laboratory which is what I am personally hosting using MeowNode. In my opinion MeowNode has easily outpaced larger service providers like Shockbyte, Bisect and other large titles. I would like to finish this by shouting out Captain Catnip from the litter of experts, pawthank you for using quite the abundance of options you had attempted on my server. As much as it was not resolved, that can not be blamed on you but on Northwood (The creators of SCP:SL) haha.

So many claw-some things about MeowNode, First off the pricing is meow-velous I believe it's the cheapest on the market and they hold up to the standards they say if I ask for 8gb of memory they gave me 8.2gb they are always making sure I get what I paid for! Next the best thing about it is their quality of service and friendliness!!! They respond in less than an hour and are willing to run you step by step and explain why they do the things the way they do it!! They are also really friendly probably the most friendly service I have ever had! I used a discord ticket and they got back to me within the hour! They helped solve problems and ran the extra mile to make sure it worked!!! Sir Purrsworth helped me on discord that cat is so claw-some, kind and friendly. Honestly you need to give him a raise!!! Best customer service ever!!!

After the fall of Ramshard, MeowNode came to be our go-to server hosting for Minecraft. Support was whisker-fast, servers were always pouncing, with no downtime and a lot of fun and easy setup. I would paws-itively recommend MeowNode to anyone looking to host some kind of video game server, especially Minecraft.

the UI is easy to understand, like a kitten's first toy. Although there are times that the server can run slow but it's just a terraria game, we dont require lower pings so it did not matter that much

Officer Orangepelt

Officer Orangepelt

Always get whisker-fast, friendly, and helpful advice. They may not have all the answers when it comes to certain mods but they will always lead you in the right direction. I have nothing but good things to say when it came to an easy setup and ticketing system as well and any question I had. I paws-itively recommend them for their positive attitudes and their competitive pricing!
