What you can manage

Game-specific tools without a host-shell learning curve.

Players and whitelist

Manage player access without handing out host credentials.

World settings

Use safe presets first and disclose advanced server settings when needed.

Player connection

See reachability and use the documented direct-connect or managed relay path supported by the game.

Bring your own hardware

Pay for a management layer—not another box every month.

Use the Windows 10/11 or Linux PC, mini PC, home server, or VPS you already control. Swarm Hosts organizes supported launches and everyday operations around it.
