How much does a Garry's Mod server cost? Real 2026 prices

The price of a Garry's Mod server varies mainly according to the gamemode, the RAM, the number of players and the amount of addons. Here are some concrete benchmarks for 2026, from a small Sandbox to a large DarkRP Garry's Mod server.

Self-hosting: "free" but with constraints

Hosting it yourself via SRCDS costs nothing on the surface, but it means leaving your PC on 24/7, sharing its power and exposing your IP without Anti-DDoS. We cover it all in How to create a Garry's Mod server.

With a host: the ranges according to your needs

• 2 to 3 GB of RAM for a small Sandbox or Prop Hunt among friends (up to ~16 players): from €2.99/month.
• 4 to 6 GB for a DarkRP server with an addon collection and 20-30 players: around €6 to €10/month.
• 8 GB and up for a large, heavily loaded RP server with an active community: €10 to €18/month depending on the host.

These ranges assume good hardware. A "cheap" server on a slow CPU lags at 20 players in DarkRP: price alone means nothing without processor quality.

What really makes the price vary

• CPU frequency: GMod depends mostly on a single core. A Ryzen 9 7950X3D changes everything compared to an old Xeon.
• The gamemode: a DarkRP loaded with addons demands far more resources than a Sandbox.
• Anti-DDoS included or as a paid option.
• The panel and support: a good panel saves you hours.

The right instinct: look at the RAM / CPU quality / included Anti-DDoS ratio, not just the advertised price.
