The Official Deadside Server Host
Bad Pixel runs every official Deadside server on GG Host machines. Not some of them — all of them. When you rent a Deadside server here, you're on the same infrastructure the developer chose for their own fleet.
"GGHost is a high quality server hosting company, who will be our new official server host going forward."
That announcement also spelled out why: Ryzen 9 CPUs, DDR5 memory, NVMe storage and 20Gbps connectivity. The arrangement has held ever since — through the 1.0 release and every update to the current 1.10 build.
Running the Current Build, Always
Update 1.10 (June 18, 2026) added the Prison and Port locations in grid E5, mission bosses, the improvised crossbow and launcher, and heavy armor. Hotfix 1.10.1 followed four days later. Your GG Host server picks up each build automatically — no manual patching.
Earlier this year, Update 1.9 (April 28, 2026) overhauled progression with blueprints, expanded the map around Mirny and reworked airdrops — the biggest shake-up to Deadside's loop since 1.0.
What's next: Bad Pixel's work-in-progress post from August 14, 2026 previews new ground vehicles (the VAZ-2107 and BRDM), tire mechanics, boars, a new point of interest and more missions. When it ships, servers here update the day it drops.
PC and Console Servers Are Separate — Here's How That Works
Deadside doesn't mix PC and console players. The Deadside Server (PC) hosts Steam players; the Deadside Console server hosts PlayStation 5 and Xbox — each platform on its own, or with crossplay between the two consoles. That's why they're separate products. Under the hood, though, both run on the same GG Host server hardware.
Console pricing is deliberately simple: one flat monthly fee, regardless of slots. Adding players doesn't add cost.
PC servers can also run the Public Test Server branch — switch your private server to PTS from the panel and try upcoming patches before they go live (guide).
Can You Host a Deadside Server Yourself?
Not from your own machine. Bad Pixel doesn't publish a dedicated-server build — there is no server tool next to the game in Steam's catalogue, and nothing to download for console — so every private Deadside server, PC or console, runs at a hosting provider.
That is why the question comes up so often, and why the answer here is short: pick the PC or console product above and the server exists a few minutes later. Game files, updates and the network are handled for you. What you keep is the control: Deadside's own in-game server admin panel, plus the GG Host control panel for the config editor, maps, PTS, mods and SFTP file access.
Attack traffic is handled by our in-house DDoS mitigation, written on XDP and eBPF, inspecting packets in the network driver before the operating system's network stack sees them. Attacks come in, players keep playing. No extra charge.
First-time setup — server name, your admin ID, platform and world — is a five-minute job in the config editor (guide).
Console Mod Support, Built Into the Panel
Since Bad Pixel's Mod Kit update (August 19, 2026), Deadside console servers support mods. On GG Host, mod management is part of the control panel itself.
Click the Mod.io icon on your service page and you're browsing the game's official mod.io catalog: search, filter by tag, check download counts and ratings. Click Install, drag your mods into load order, restart the server. That's the entire process. No file uploads, no config editing, no FTP.
Your mod list is stored in the panel, so it survives game updates and server reinstalls. If a mod misbehaves, remove it and restart; that works even when mod.io itself is down. Players install nothing: the game downloads the server's mods automatically when they join.
Guides: installing mods, load order, troubleshooting.
PvE, PvP or Scheduled Raids — What You Can Set
Deadside ships its own in-game server admin panel, and on a GG Host server it is yours from the first restart. The mode choice is the big one: PvE only, with no player-on-player damage; PvP with no base raids; or PvP with scheduled raids, where you set a start time in UTC and a duration in hours so bases are only vulnerable when you say.
Beyond the mode: a squad-size cap (three is the usual pick, so large groups can't steamroll solo players), reserved admin slots, a wipe schedule of never, weekly, every two weeks or every four weeks on the day you choose, a daily restart time, and sliders from 0% to 200% for activity frequency, bot damage and bot health. Kicks, bans and the live player list are in the same panel.
A solo or small-group server is the same product with PvE on and a low player count — nothing separate to buy. Every tab is documented in our server admin panel guide.
Maps: Mirny, Potny, or a Procedural World
Two official maps: Mirny, the full-size original, and Potny, the smaller map that PvP-focused servers tend to prefer. Each world keeps its own save, so you can switch from one to the other in the config editor and switch back later without losing either.
Console servers run Mirny or Potny. PC servers have two more options: modded maps, which load by name, and one most people don't know exists — a procedural world, generated from a map size of 1 to 4 and a seed. Size 1 is compact and suits PvP; size 4 is the largest, for bigger or survival-focused groups. The same size and seed produce the same map every time, so a seed you like can be reused or shared, and a new seed is a new map.
Step by step for PC, including the modded-map field: how to change maps on your Deadside server.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is GG Host really the official Deadside server host?
Yes. Bad Pixel announced the move publicly in the Update 0.11.0 Steam post, and every official Deadside server runs on GG Host infrastructure today. Renting here puts your private server on the same hardware.
Do PC players and console players share servers?
No. PC (Steam) players and console players never share a server. The console product hosts PS5 and Xbox — individually or with crossplay between the two consoles — while PC players use the PC product. Both products run on the same GG Host server hardware.
Does adding slots to a Deadside console server cost more?
No. Console servers are one flat monthly fee — the price doesn't change with slot count.
Can I try experimental Deadside patches on my server?
Yes, on PC. Switch your private server to the Public Test Server (PTS) branch from the panel, try the upcoming build, and switch back when you're done. There's a step-by-step guide in our knowledgebase.
How fast is my Deadside server set up?
Minutes. Servers deploy automatically after checkout, and game updates install automatically from then on — including day-one builds like Update 1.10.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes — game servers come with a 48-hour money-back guarantee. If the server isn't what you wanted, open a ticket within 48 hours of your order and we'll refund the payment, minus the payment processor's fees (roughly 3% + £0.20 — the gateway keeps those either way). This covers game servers; dedicated servers are provisioned per order and aren't included. The exact terms are in our Terms of Use, §23.
What uptime can I expect?
Every location is backed by a 99.99% monthly network uptime SLA from our datacenter partner. We quote network uptime rather than a blanket number on purpose: whether the game process stays up also depends on the game itself — a bad patch can crash any server, on any host. The infrastructure underneath it is the part we can honestly put a number on.
Can I run mods on my Deadside console server?
Yes. Since the Mod Kit update (August 19, 2026), Deadside console servers support mods, and GG Host has mod management built into the control panel: browse the game's mod.io catalog, install, set load order, restart.
Do players need to install anything to join a modded console server?
No. The game downloads the server's mods automatically when a player joins. Mods are managed entirely server-side, from your GG Host panel.
Can I host a Deadside server on my own PC?
No. Bad Pixel doesn't release a dedicated-server build, so private Deadside servers run at hosting providers. Order the PC or console product here and it deploys in minutes, on the same infrastructure as the official servers.
Can I get a private Deadside server on Xbox or PS5?
Yes. The Deadside Console product runs PS5-only, Xbox-only or crossplay between the two, at one flat monthly fee, with console mods managed from the control panel.
Can I run a PvE-only or solo Deadside server?
Yes. Set PvE only in the in-game server admin panel — or PvP with no raids, or scheduled raid hours — cap the squad size, and keep the player count small. A solo server is the same product with PvE switched on.
Which maps can my Deadside server run?
Mirny (full size) and Potny (smaller) on both PC and console. PC servers can also run a modded map by name or a procedural world generated from a size of 1 to 4 and a seed. Switching between Mirny and Potny keeps both saves.

Don't take our word for it. Below is what our existing customers say about us:
Faceroll_Fatality
This is by far the best server host my community has EVER used and we have used all the "Major Brands" Nitrado,PingPerfect etc for our SCUM Servers. the Hardware is Legit! you are not another sucker being hosted on some kids Bitcoin mining rig in the burbs. Great Connectivity, Great systems.. but hardware aside the HUGE bonus for me is the Customer Service! With a game like SCUM where we are receiving almost Monthly minor patches and adjustments to the game things get weird... GGhosing have 100% been Active in the SCUM Community and are in Direct contact with the SCUM Developers. When things go wrong (And they always do with games in Development) These guys are ALL OVER IT. A Server host that Submits Bugs, offers solutions to issues and Genuinely care about the state of the games they are hosting. 10/10

The other hosts are a joke compared to GGhost I use GgHost to host a busy gaming server. I recently made a switch from a competitor host. All of my problems were solved with GGhost that I had with the other server hosts. I am just absolutely amazed at the difference and would never consider leaving GGhost ever.... E-V-E-R.... you guys rock !! Thank you ;)
