Renting an Arma 3 server is now the simplest option: no SteamCMD installation, no ports to open, no IP to expose. In a few minutes, you have a server online 24/7. Here's how it works, step by step.

1. Choose the right plan

The choice comes down mainly to RAM and the number of players. For vanilla or a small co-op, 4 GB is enough. For a modded RHS/ACE or Antistasi server, aim for 6 to 8 GB. What matters just as much is the quality of the CPU behind it: a Ryzen 9 7950X3D makes all the difference on Arma 3.

2. Subscribe in a few clicks

Once the plan is chosen, subscribing takes a few minutes. With Fly-Serv, there's no commitment: you rent by the month and stop whenever you want. Pricing starts at 2.99 €/month.

3. Receive your server instantly

Delivery is instant: as soon as the payment is validated, your server is created with an address ready to share. You get access to the FlyPanel to start and manage it.

4. Install your mods and mission

From the panel, enable Steam Workshop mods in one click (the -mod= parameter is handled for you) and drop your mission into the mpmissions folder. To choose your mods, see Which mods should you install on an Arma 3 server?

Renting rather than self-hosting means saving time, a protected IP and a server that's always online, often for less than the electricity of a PC left on 24/7.
