Explore Starbound Server Features
A tour of what comes with every Starbound server, and how it all works in the control panel.
INSTANT SETUP
Get your Starbound server online in minutes with our streamlined deployment process. No technical expertise required - select your preferences and we'll automatically configure your universe. Your crew can start exploring planets and building colonies immediately.
Our automated system handles all the technical setup, from server initialisation to performance optimisation. Whether you're hosting a small private server for friends or running a large public community, your Starbound universe will be ready for explorers in under 10 minutes.
AUTOMATIC BACKUPS
Protect your Starbound universe with our automatic backup system. Your planetary colonies, ship designs, character progress, inventory, and all universe data are regularly backed up to prevent any loss from crashes, corruption, or unexpected issues.
Restoring a backup is simple - select your desired backup from the control panel and click restore. Whether you need to recover from a server issue or roll back after testing new mods, your Starbound universe is always protected with customisable backup schedules.
DDOS PROTECTION
Keep your Starbound server safe from attacks and unauthorised access. We've implemented enterprise-grade security measures to protect your server and universe data, ensuring uninterrupted exploration and building for your community.
Our infrastructure includes advanced DDoS protection on all plans, capable of mitigating high-volume attacks without affecting server performance. Your crew can focus on exploring the cosmos and building colonies instead of worrying about server security or downtime from malicious attacks.
FULL FILE ACCESS & MOD SUPPORT
Take complete control of your Starbound server with full SFTP access and comprehensive modding support. Install mods from Steam Workshop or manually add custom content including new races, items, planet types, dungeons, and quests. Configure game modes (Casual, Survival, Hardcore), adjust server rules, set admin permissions, and fine-tune every aspect of your server to create your perfect space exploration experience.
Our control panel makes it easy to manage mods, edit configuration files, and adjust server settings without technical knowledge. Whether you're running vanilla Starbound or a heavily modded universe, our 24/7 support team is always available to help optimise your Starbound hosting for the best performance.
CUSTOM SUBDOMAINS
Every server gets a free yourname.wabbanode.com address, so nobody has to remember an IP and port. Change it whenever you like from the panel.
SERVER SPLITTING
Divide one plan into several smaller servers. Run a lobby and a survival world, or two different games, off the RAM you already pay for.
GAME SWITCHING
Swap your server to any game we host from the panel. Your plan stays the same, so a Minecraft server can become a Rust server next month without buying another.
DATABASES
Create MySQL databases from the panel for plugins, economies and stats. Credentials are generated for you and ready to paste into a config.
24/7 SUPPORT
Real people on live chat and tickets around the clock, replying in under five minutes on average. They play these games too.
AUTOMATIC CRASH DETECTION
If your server goes down, it comes straight back. A watchdog spots the crash, restarts the server and logs what happened.
One control panel to manage
every game server
Running a game server with your friends should be easy. That's why we built our own panel around simple, powerful tools that make sense the first time you open them.

What is Starbound?
Starbound is a captivating 2D sandbox adventure game that launches players into an infinite procedurally generated universe filled with countless planets to explore. Developed by Chucklefish, this space-themed survival game combines exploration, combat, crafting, and building as players travel between worlds using their customisable starships. With over 2000+ in-game objects and hundreds of materials, players can construct everything from simple cabins to elaborate space stations and planetary colonies. The game features diverse biomes, unique alien lifeforms, challenging bosses, quest systems, and mech exploration for navigating asteroid fields and derelict ships. Players can choose between Casual, Survival, or Hardcore modes, each offering different levels of challenge and risk.
Running your own Starbound dedicated server gives you complete control over your multiplayer universe and community. Customise server settings, configure game modes, adjust difficulty parameters, and leverage extensive modding support through Steam Workshop or manual installation to add new races, items, planets, and quests. With full server access, you can host persistent universes where your community builds lasting colonies, explores together, and shares adventures across the cosmos. Our powerful hardware ensures smooth performance for complex builds and multiplayer exploration, while automatic backups protect your universe's progress.
Best Starbound server hosting
Exploring an infinite procedurally generated universe is even better with a crew, and a Starbound dedicated server keeps your shared cosmos online so colonies and characters persist between play sessions. Whether you're building sprawling space stations or adventuring planet to planet, hosting your own server means full control over game modes, difficulty, and mods. Wabbanode makes it simple to host a Starbound server with friends and provides Starbound server hosting that stays smooth as your universe grows.
What your Starbound server needs
For Starbound we suggest 2 GB for up to 4 players, 4 GB for up to 12 players and 6 GB for up to 24 players, the same sizes the plan picker above recommends. Starbound is a 2D sandbox that runs lightly compared to many survival games, so its server requirements are modest. A modern CPU handles the world generation and simulation comfortably, and NVMe SSD storage keeps universe data and saves loading quickly. As players spread across more planets and you add mods, storage and memory needs grow, so keep some headroom for a lively server.
Modded universes and endless worlds
Starbound has excellent modding support through Steam Workshop and manual installation, letting you add new races, items, planets, and quests. Full server access means you can configure Casual, Survival, or Hardcore modes and manage your mod list, so your universe plays exactly how your community wants.
Why host with Wabbanode
Your Starbound server runs on fast AMD Ryzen 9 hardware with NVMe storage, always-on DDoS protection, and free automatic backups to protect your universe. Setup is instant, and our support team is available 24/7.
