Why Host Your Core Keeper Server on Flux?
A Core Keeper world is a long dig: the base around the Core, the farms, the automated mines and the bosses still waiting below. Hosted from someone's own game, it stops when they log off. A dedicated Core Keeper server keeps it there for the whole crew, whoever is playing.
Every plan has dedicated vCores and memory reserved for your server on a decentralized cloud of thousands of independent nodes across 50+ countries. Steam players join with the Game ID, and friends on the Epic Games Store, the Microsoft Store and GOG join by IP on the same server.
The fiddly parts are handled. Keep up to 30 worlds and switch between them, start new ones with their own mode and seed, or upload your single-player world. Upload mods from mod.io, make admins and lift bans from the browser. An outdated server refuses players on the new version, so this one checks Steam every 30 minutes and restarts onto a new build as soon as nobody is playing.
You still get an ordinary management panel: a file browser, a live terminal and backups. Plans start at $4.49/month, billing is pay-as-you-go with no contract, and your worlds are downloadable whenever you want them.

We don't sell player slots. The player count on each plan is its starting Max Players: you can change it yourself in Deployment Settings, up to 100, though each plan is sized for its own figure. Core Keeper's own default is 8.
*The first week is free for customers new to Flux Cloud: one free week per account, not per app or per server. It takes no card and ends on its own after 7 days unless you choose to keep the server. If you've deployed any app on Flux before, standard pricing applies. Our 30-day money-back guarantee covers your first paid month, whether or not you took the free week first.

Two ways in: Game ID and IP
A Core Keeper server has a Game ID, which Steam players paste into Join via Game ID: it goes through Steam's relay and needs nothing opened. Players on the Epic Games Store, the Microsoft Store and GOG join by IP instead, with one line that holds the address, the port and the password. Both are kept on your server, never in the public app listing, and you can change either if it gets out.
Thirty worlds on one server
The server keeps worlds in 30 slots and plays one. Switch between them, start a new world in Normal, Hard, Casual or Creative with the seed you want, or bring the world from your own game: it is the same file. Characters stay with each player.
Mods, admins and bans
Upload a mod's .zip from mod.io and switch mods on and off; they are kept on the data volume, so they survive the server moving to another node. Make anyone admin from the list of players who have played, and lift bans, without touching a file.
Never left behind by an update
A server running an older build than the players refuses them. This one checks Steam for a new build every 30 minutes and restarts onto it as soon as nobody is playing, or within the hour, saving the world first. A daily restart at a time you choose keeps long sessions smooth.
