DarkRP server hosting on Zeros Host

If you run a DarkRP server in the UK, you have probably tried generic shared hosting and found that it falls apart the moment you start loading workshop addons or a populated jobs file. Zeros Host is built around the opposite starting point: the panel knows what DarkRP is, and the infrastructure is tuned for it.

What the plans look like

GMod hosting starts at £5 per month for the Starter tier (2 GB RAM, 10 GB storage). The Roleplay tier at £19/mo gives you 8 GB RAM and 40 GB storage, which is enough for a moderately-populated DarkRP server with a workshop collection in the hundreds. Pricing is on the pricing page; the numbers there are what you pay, no setup fee on top.

Every plan comes with a 24-hour free trial, no credit card required. You get full panel access during the trial, so you can test workshop syncing, run a config change, and see how the server behaves before committing to anything.

The panel is built for DarkRP

Stock Pterodactyl is a general-purpose panel. Zeros Host uses a heavily modified fork. The things it adds that matter most for DarkRP:

• DarkRP Config Builder - edit your darkrp_config, custom shipments, entities, and jobs through a structured UI rather than raw Lua files. Syntax errors show inline rather than surfacing as server crashes.
• Backdoor Scanner - scans addon files against known backdoor patterns (RunString, loadstring, obfuscated strings, known malicious domains) and flags the exact file and line. Worth running before you add any paid addon from an unknown source.
• File History - automatic snapshots of your server files on every panel save. If a config change breaks something, you can compare diffs and restore to any point without pulling from a local backup.
• Workshop Manager - sync a Steam Workshop collection ID directly from the panel. The collection is applied on next server start.

The server is in the UK - and Germany

Most of our hardware is hosted in Germany (Hetzner infrastructure), which gives latency in the 20-40ms range for most UK players and is comparable to UK-based hosts. We also have a real UK node live in London for players who want the shortest possible hop. The panel is at panel.zerosrp.co.uk.

How to get started

Head to zerosrp.co.uk/pricing, pick your tier, and start the trial at zerosrp.co.uk/register. The server is provisioned in about 30 seconds. If you have questions, ask in the Discord.

If you are moving from another host and want to transfer your files, the panel has a file manager with bulk upload. The help centre has a migration guide.
