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.
