Why LOW.MS?
Below are a few reasons why LOW.MS is the ideal place to host your game server.
Instant setup
Your FOUNDRY server is deployed and ready to join within minutes of ordering, fully configured with sensible defaults.
Built for big factories
High clock speed Ryzen CPUs and NVMe storage keep large, complex factories ticking smoothly, because in FOUNDRY the factory, not the player count, is what pushes the hardware.
Automated backups
Scheduled backups protect your world, and one-click restores mean a bad day in the mines never costs you your megabase.
Easy configuration
Server name, password, player limit, autosave, and visibility are all editable from the control panel config editor. No file hunting required.
Always online
Friends can build while you sleep, or the server can pause itself when empty. Either way, nobody has to host from their own PC.
Support that knows the game
Our team runs FOUNDRY servers themselves. If you get stuck, real humans who know the game are a ticket away.
Automatic Cloud Backups
Your FOUNDRY worlds, settings and mod configuration are backed up to the cloud automatically. Keep up to 20 backups per server and lock the ones that matter so they are never cleared to make room.
From the Backups tab in the LOW.MS control panel you can restore any backup in one click, download a copy to your PC, or take a manual backup before a big change.
- Automatic scheduled backups, stored off your server
- Lock important backups so they are never overwritten
- One-click restore, or download any backup to your PC
- Included with every FOUNDRY server, no extra cost

Read our reviews on TrustpilotTop choice in my list
Out of all hosting providers. This is by far the top choice in my list. Simple UI with a mod manager included making it hassle-free when downloading specific mods.
Jose, Trustpilot review
Very helpful and responsive
I opened a ticket for help migrating my server from a different host. The game is Palworld and it isn't a simple process, they did it for me! Very helpful and responsive.
Justin, Trustpilot review
Insanely reliable service
Their prices are pretty cheap and I thought they'd cut back on performance but damn was I wrong. The service has been insanely reliable and the Support Team are on their own level!

What is FOUNDRY
FOUNDRY is a first-person factory-building sandbox set in an endless, fully destructible voxel world. Dig for resources, wire up power grids, and grow a handful of hand-fed machines into a vast automated industrial complex. Because every block of terrain can be reshaped, your factory can burrow through mountains, span canyons, or sprawl across the surface in whatever layout you can imagine. Multiplayer is where FOUNDRY really shines. A dedicated server keeps your world online around the clock, so friends can drop in, push production forward, and log off again without anyone needing to host from their own PC. As you unlock conveyor networks, robotic arms, and full logistics systems, the factory keeps running even while nobody is connected, and the auto-pause option can freeze time whenever the server is empty. With a LOW.MS server you get instant setup, automated backups, NVMe storage, and high clock speed CPUs. That last part matters: like all factory games, FOUNDRY's performance is driven by the size and complexity of your builds more than by player count, so strong single-core performance keeps a megabase ticking smoothly.

You can host it yourself. Here's what that costs.
Doable, but the gap between 'it boots' and 'your crew can actually log in' is where most home setups fall over. Here's what self-hosting FOUNDRY signs you up for, and what we handle if you'd rather skip it.
If you host it yourself
A few hours to set up, then ongoing upkeep.
01Pull it down with SteamCMD
On a Windows box, grab SteamCMD, open a terminal in its folder, then run
steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir C:\foundryserver +app_update 2915550 validate +quit. A spare desktop or mini-PC works, but if you plan to build a megabase, the server cares more about single-core speed and fast storage than about player count.Install command$ steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 2915550 validate +quit02Punch holes in the network
Forward
3724/UDP(game) and27015/UDP(Steam query) on your router to the host machine's LAN IP, then add matching inbound rules in Windows Firewall. This is where most home setups fall over, especially if your ISP puts you behind CGNAT.03Edit <code>app.cfg</code> by hand
Stop the server, open
app.cfgin the server folder, and set the basics: server name, password, world name, player limit, autosave interval, public visibility, and the pause-when-empty option. Save it, start the server again, and hope you didn't typo something that makes it boot with defaults.04Start it, then test joining
Launch the dedicated server executable and watch the console until it is clearly listening on the expected ports, then try connecting from a client using direct connect to
YourPublicIP:3724. If it only works on your home network, you just learned the difference between LAN and WAN the annoying way, and your upload speed now dictates everyone else's experience.05Keep it running forever
Now you get to run an always-on PC: power settings, sleep states, Windows reboots, and the moment someone trips a breaker your 24/7 server becomes "whenever I'm home". Patch days are extra fun because the server and every client need matching versions, and you should be making your own backups, because save corruption is a matter of when, not if.
06Be the on-call admin
When players can't see the server, it's you checking port forwards, firewall rules, and logs late at night, not a magic button. You'll eventually have a little folder of known fixes and a big pile of "why is it doing that".
