Factorio Server Hosting On the Decentralized Cloud
Rent a dedicated Factorio server from $2.49/mo. Stable, experimental or a fixed release, Space Age on or off, an RCON console and your saves.
Host your own Factorio dedicated server on the Flux decentralized cloud. Factorio's stable release by default, or the experimental branch or one fixed release, Space Age on or off, server-settings.json as a form, an RCON console with bans and admins, and your single-player save uploaded in minutes. Plans from 2 to 8 GB from $2.49/month, with DDoS protection and nodes in 50+ countries.
Manage Everything From One Dashboard
Full control of your Factorio server from the browser: settings, saves, mods, players, bans, backups and an RCON console. No SSH.
Overview
status, address, players and version at a glance
Live status
Whether your server is up, how many players are on, the Factorio build, and how much CPU and RAM the factory uses right now.
Server settings
Name, password, public listing, pausing when empty and autosaves, as a form over server-settings.json.
RCON console
See who is on, kick, ban and unban, promote admins, save the map and run any command.
Choose your location
Place the server in any of 50+ countries, and see which of them have room for it right now.
Scale hardware
Add RAM or CPU when the factory outgrows the plan.
Live console
A real terminal into the container, beside the server log as it happens.
Saves and mods
Load any save, upload your own factory, and add mods from the mod portal with their dependencies.
Backups
Back up every save, mod and setting, and restore them when you need to.
Why Host Your Factorio Server on Flux?
A shared factory is better when it is always there: friends log in at different hours, the trains keep running, and nobody has to leave their own PC on for everyone else. A dedicated Factorio server keeps your map online around the clock, on your settings and your mods.
Every plan here has dedicated vCores and memory, reserved for your server rather than shared, on a decentralized cloud of thousands of independent nodes across 50+ countries.
The fiddly parts are handled. The server runs Factorio’s stable release, the one Steam installs, and moves to the next one by itself, so nobody is locked out by a version mismatch; the experimental branch or one exact release is a choice in the dashboard. Space Age is one switch, the ports are opened and routed for you, your saves are synced to a standby node, and enterprise-grade DDoS protection is included on every plan.
You still get an ordinary management panel: server-settings.json as a form, an RCON console, a file browser for your saves and mods, a live terminal and backups. Plans start at $2.49/month, billing is pay-as-you-go with no contract, and your saves are downloadable whenever you want them.

Factorio Server Plans
Dedicated Factorio hosting from $2.49/month, sized by the factory you are building, with Space Age, an RCON console and no player limit on every plan.
Factorio 2GB
Factorio 4GB
Factorio 8GB
We don't sell player slots. No plan limits players: Factorio's max_players is 0, unlimited, unless you set one. The plans are sized by how big a factory their memory carries.
*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.

Always the version your players have
Factorio only lets a player join a server running exactly their version. The server runs the stable release, the one Steam installs, and moves to each new one within hours of its release, without you doing anything. Playing on the experimental branch, or holding a modpack on one exact release? Pick it on the dashboard’s Game Version tab, free, and switch back whenever you like.
Space Age, or the base game
The expansion, with quality, elevated rails and the new planets, is on by default. Switch it off in Deployment Settings for a base-game server that every Factorio owner can join.
Your single-player factory, online
Upload a save from your own game with the Files tab and restart: the server always loads the newest save it has. Mods go the same way, into the mods folder, and players are offered the same set when they join.
An RCON console in the dashboard
See who is online, kick, ban and unban, promote admins, save the map and run any command, with the RCON password the server generated read for you. Bans are kept in the server’s ban list and survive restarts.
Saved on every stop
The server autosaves every ten minutes and writes the map when it stops, which took a tenth of a second in our tests. Saves, mods and settings live on a volume synced to a standby node, and a backup takes all of them.
