Why LOW.MS?
Below are a few reasons why LOW.MS is the ideal place to host your game server.
EXILED and LabAPI plugins
Custom roles, custom items, round modifiers and whole alternative game modes, installed and configured from the panel.
One facility, simulated tight
A full round puts a lot of players and a lot of state in a small space. High clock speed Ryzen CPUs keep it responsive when everything goes wrong at once.
Plugin breakage handled
Northwood updates knock EXILED plugins over regularly. We track the rebuilds so you are not the one working out which plugin took the server down.
Remote admin and console
Northwood's remote admin system plus a live console from the panel, so you can run your round rather than watch it from outside.
DDoS protection as standard
Popular community servers get attacked. Always-on enterprise protection is included, not an upsell.
Locations near your players
Datacenters across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific, so your regulars connect on low ping.
Automatic Cloud Backups
Your SCP: Secret Laboratory 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 SCP: Secret Laboratory server, no extra cost

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 SCP: Secret Laboratory
SCP: Secret Laboratory is a free multiplayer horror game set inside a collapsing SCP Foundation facility. Players are split between Class-D personnel, scientists, facility guards, Chaos Insurgency, Nine-Tailed Fox and the anomalies themselves, and almost every round ends differently. It is built for community servers: the official ones are a small fraction of the population, and the game has thrived for years on servers run by the people who play them. The server files are free and published by Northwood Studios, which is why the community-server scene is so large. The plugin ecosystem around EXILED and LabAPI goes deep: custom roles, custom items, round modifiers, economy systems, and event modes that turn a horror round into something else entirely. A server with a well chosen plugin set builds a regular playerbase fast. We are templating SCP: Secret Laboratory now, with plugin management, config editing and remote admin access. Our nodes run high clock speed Ryzen CPUs, which matters for a game where a facility full of players is simulated in one tight space. Watch this page for the order button.
