S&Box is Facepunch's Source 2 sandbox and the successor to Garry's Mod, where every game is a community-made gamemode. Novonode S&Box servers run on AMD Ryzen processors with up to 4 vCPUs, high-speed memory and NVMe storage, with DDoS protection on every plan.
Load any gamemode published to Facepunch's platform, from shooters to roleplay, and switch to another from the game panel. Gamemodes are written in C# with hot reloading, so changes show up without a restart.
Pick the loaded gamemode, player limits, map rotation and Source 2 engine convars from the panel. Your server updates through SteamCMD whenever Facepunch ships a new S&Box build, and automatic backups keep your data, configs and asset cache safe.
Pick a plan by memory and vCPUs. You can upgrade later.
Order it. Your server is set up the moment you check out.
Choose a gamemode and your settings in the game panel, then start the server.

“I have been a client of Novonode for just over a year now, and never once have been disappointed in the product quality or support. … The prices offered here are way lower than you would expect for the quality of support. Highly recommended.”

Question 01
Instantly. Your S&Box server is ready the moment your order goes through, so you can start it and invite your players right away.
Question 02
S&Box is Facepunch's successor to Garry's Mod, built on Source 2 and scripted in C#. It is a platform of community-made games rather than a single game.
Question 03
Yes, any gamemode published to the S&Box platform: shooters, roleplay, racing, horror and more. Switch the loaded game from the game panel and its assets are pulled in through SteamCMD.
Question 04
It depends on the gamemode you run and how heavy its assets are. Start with the plan that fits today: you can upgrade at any time without losing anything, and only pay the difference for the rest of your billing period.
Question 05
Yes, at any time and without disruption. Pick the bigger plan in your client area and you only pay the difference, pro rata, for the rest of your billing period.
Question 06
Yes. Back up every file on your S&Box server, schedule automatic backups for a set time, and restore an earlier backup if anything goes wrong.
Question 07
Yes. Your server stays online day and night, so your world keeps going whether or not you are playing.
Question 08
Yes, on every server at no extra cost. Attacks are filtered before they reach your server, so your players stay connected.
Question 09
Yes, within 24 hours of ordering a new service. Open a ticket from your billing account and we refund it. Renewals and add-ons are not covered.
Question 10
Our team is on Discord and tickets 24/7.
Pick how much memory your world needs and it's set up the moment you order, DDoS protected and ready for your players.
