Explore Insurgency: Sandstorm Server Features
A tour of what comes with every Insurgency: Sandstorm server, and how it all works in the control panel.
INSTANT SETUP
Get your Insurgency: Sandstorm server online in minutes with our streamlined deployment process. No technical expertise required - choose your plan and we'll automatically configure your server. Your squad can deploy immediately.
Our automated system handles everything from SteamCMD provisioning to port configuration, Mod.io authentication, and network hooks. Whether you're running an 8-slot private Checkpoint co-op or a full 32-slot community server, your Sandstorm server will be ready in under 10 minutes.
AUTOMATIC BACKUPS
Protect your Sandstorm server setup with our automatic backup system. Your server config, mod list, admin lists, mapcycle, mutator setup, and match history are regularly backed up so a bad update or misconfigured mod never costs you your setup.
Restoring a backup is just a click away. Select the snapshot you want from the control panel and roll back instantly - perfect for recovering after a broken Mod.io update.
DDOS PROTECTION
Keep your Insurgency: Sandstorm server safe from attacks and unauthorised access. We've built enterprise-grade security into every plan so your Push matches and Checkpoint co-op runs stay online, even when griefers or bad actors try to bring the server down mid-round.
Our infrastructure includes advanced DDoS protection on all plans, capable of absorbing high-volume attacks without affecting tickrate or hit registration. Your squad stays focused on the objective, not the connection.
FULL FILE ACCESS & MOD.IO SUPPORT
Take complete control of your Sandstorm server with full SFTP access and a powerful in-browser control panel. Enable Mod.io mod subscriptions via Mods.txt, edit Game.ini and Engine.ini, tune your mapcycle, drop in custom missions, and even use the MaxPlayersOverride trick in Engine.ini to push your Co-op lobbies past the vanilla 8-player cap.
Whether you're running vanilla Push, hardcore Checkpoint, a modded community Firefight lobby, or a custom-mission co-op server, our 24/7 support team can help with Mod.io setup, MaxPlayersOverride, and performance tuning.
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.
Server locations around the world
Choose the location closest to you and your players at no additional cost. We're continuing to add new regions as our network grows.

What is Insurgency: Sandstorm?
Insurgency: Sandstorm is New World Interactive's iconic tactical modern-combat shooter - the successor to the original Insurgency and one of the most respected realistic FPS games on Steam. Deploy across sun-baked Middle Eastern battlegrounds in PvP modes - Push (attack / defend), Firefight, Skirmish, Domination, and Frontline - or take on the AI in Co-op - Checkpoint, Outpost (wave defence), Survival, Hardcore Checkpoint, and Frontline PvE. With a legendary community modded server scene powered by Mod.io integration - custom weapons, custom missions, expanded rosters, hardcore rulesets - Sandstorm stays fresh year after year.
Running your own Insurgency: Sandstorm dedicated server gives you complete control. Host a private 8-slot Checkpoint co-op, a 16-slot Push / Firefight PvP lobby, or a full 32-slot community server loaded with Mod.io content. Our infrastructure is tuned for Sandstorm with high-clock CPUs, NVMe storage, and enterprise-grade DDoS protection so your engagements stay smooth from insert to extraction.
Best Insurgency: Sandstorm server hosting
Sandstorm rewards a server that behaves the same on the twentieth round as it did on the first. An Insurgency: Sandstorm dedicated server keeps your Push rotation and Checkpoint co-op standing between sessions, so your unit deploys on its own schedule. Wabbanode provides Insurgency: Sandstorm server hosting with Mod.io wired in from the start.
What your Insurgency: Sandstorm server needs
For Insurgency: Sandstorm we suggest 4 GB for up to 8 players, 8 GB for up to 16 players and 12 GB for up to 32 players, the same sizes the plan picker above recommends. Bot simulation in Checkpoint and Outpost is what actually loads the server, so clock speed counts for more than memory once the AI count climbs. NVMe keeps Mod.io content and custom missions loading quickly.
Push, Checkpoint and Mod.io
PvP covers Push, Firefight, Skirmish, Domination and Frontline. Co-op covers Checkpoint, Outpost, Survival and Hardcore Checkpoint. Mod.io brings custom weapons, missions and rulesets, and full file access handles the rest of the tuning.
Why Wabbanode
Ryzen 9 CPUs absorb heavy AI waves and NVMe keeps mod loading short. Enterprise DDoS filtering protects a public lobby, and backups run nightly without being asked.
