S&Box Game Server Hosting
Host your S&Box server, high performance and instantly setup, with full addon and package support, Source 2 Optimised. If your custom gamemode, multiplayer creation, competitive shooter, platformer, racing game, puzzle game or community game is on S&Box we can host it.
What is S&Box?
S&Box is a sandbox game that utilizes the source 2 engine and is the spiritual successor to Garry's mod. In it, you can create and play hundreds of different games created by the community, anything from a competitive shooter, a fast paced platformer, a puzzle game or a high speed racing game, you name it! As well as having much better graphics and performance than the predecessor it also has more advanced building tools due to it being ran on the source 2 engine.
Why host a S&Box server with Iceline Hosting?
Our control panel has been simplified for ease of use, allowing you to change maps, upload addons and adjust settings all without needing any advanced knowledge. We also provide instant server start-up, automated server updates to ensure you're always running the latest version Facepunch release and daily backups so you'll never lose your work. Our servers use enterprise grade hardware meaning we can handle all the advanced physics, lighting and networking that Source 2 brings allowing you to build and play with as many players as you need. We have thousands of satisfied customers who have hosted Garry's Mod servers with us for years and are now moving over to S&Box servers and we expect to offer the same level of service to them as we always have.
Turbo Mode
All other game server companies cap CPU usage (when the CPU hits 100% your server crashes and lags). We set a soft limit on CPU usage (Turbo mode) which is absolutely free to use and means that your server will only be allocated its allocated amount of CPU when another server is actively using it, otherwise your server will have access to an unlimited amount of CPU, based on how much is free on our hardware.
This means no random shutdowns or speed limits. If power is available your server will use it, if not it will ensure all servers are allocated the same amount.

Our S&Box server has been running flawlessly since we started. The performance is excellent even with complex custom assets and 20+ players online. The control panel makes it easy to manage packages and switch between our different gamemodes. Source 2 optimization really shows.

We're running a public server with multiple custom gamemodes and the performance is fantastic. The automatic updates keep us current with Facepunch releases, and the daily backups have saved us multiple times. The support team helped us optimize our server settings for maximum performance.

Great server performance and reliability. We're developing a custom competitive shooter gamemode and the server handles it beautifully. The Source 2 engine really shines with the hardware they provide. Highly recommended for anyone serious about S&Box hosting.
