Why should I choose Shockbyte as my Starbound host?
We offer many more features and utilize more powerful hardware than any of our competitors, even at a lower cost. Shockbyte has been providing hosting services since 2013. With hundreds of thousands of customers served and more than half a million servers hosted, we have an incredibly strong reputation among the gaming server community.
We’re so confident you’ll be happy choosing to rent from us as your Starbound server host that we offer a full money back guarantee. If you wish to cancel your order for any reason, just contact our support team within 72 hours for a full refund. All we ask is that you let us know why so we can further improve our service.

How do I create a Starbound server?
If you were wondering how to create Starbound dedicated server with your friends, Shockbyte has made it extremely easy to host a Starbound server instantly. Once you purchase your dedicated server, you will automatically receive an email with all of your server and login information.
From there, you will gain access to your server control panel. Here you can control every aspect of your private server. You have direct access to your server files, and can make it a public server if you so choose. Once you login, just start up your server and play with your friends.
Players who are interested in hosting your own Starbound dedicated server will find Shockbyte’s support team and servers to be far more reliable and easy than doing it yourself.
Can I change my plan or upgrade my server later?
You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time from the client area. Once you have submitted the order, the plan change is applied automatically and instantly. No files or settings are lost when upgrading, your server will simply be upgraded to the new plan you have selected.
Our customers range from first-time server owners to large-scale game server networks with hundreds of players. With Shockbyte, there is no limit to the size you can grow your server.
This is my first game server, can you help me if I get stuck?
