Coming soon
Squad servers are on the way
Squad's license rules out running it commercially, Offworld Industries names the hosting companies it trusts, and its licensing rules don't accept servers in virtual machines. Squad opens on Wilderack once Offworld makes us a hosting partner.
Plans will start at 8 GB, with 12 GB recommended for most groups.
Made for Squad
Why host Squad with Wilderack
Built for 100-player matches
Plans sized for full 50 versus 50 matches, on the fast single cores Squad needs.
Layer rotation without files
Let players vote, or play your own layer list in order or shuffled, and edit the lists in the panel.
Workshop mods and load order
Add mods by Steam Workshop id and set their load order. Players get them by subscribing on Steam.
Admin tools ready
RCON is set up with its own password, so the panel console and tools like SquadJS work from the first start.
Every server includes

About Squad
Squad hosting isn't open yet. Squad's license rules out running it commercially, and Offworld licenses servers only on hardware it approves, which doesn't include virtual machines like ours today. We will open Squad once Offworld makes Wilderack a hosting partner. Join the waitlist to hear first.

Squad server hosting FAQ
When can I rent a Squad server?
Once Offworld Industries makes Wilderack a hosting partner. Squad's license rules out running servers commercially, and Offworld licenses servers only on hardware it approves. Join the waitlist to hear the day it opens.
What is a licensed Squad server?
A server Offworld has licensed, listed in the main server browser. Unlicensed servers show under Custom Servers. Offworld does not license servers in virtual machines without its approval, which is part of what we need from Offworld before we open.
How much RAM does a Squad server need?
At least 8 GB, which is also Offworld's minimum for a licensed server. 12 GB suits a full 100-player match, and modded servers do best on 16 GB.
Can I use Steam Workshop mods?
Yes. Add mods by Workshop id and set their load order. Players get them by subscribing on Steam.
Can I sell perks on my Squad server?
No. Offworld lets server owners take donations and give donors whitelist or priority access, but not sell kits, roles, vehicles or other gameplay perks.
Can I switch to a different game later?
Yes. Swap your server to any game your plan can run, as often as you like, with no swap fees. Your old world is saved so you can switch back.
How old do I need to be?
Wilderack is for players aged 13 and up. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian needs to agree to the purchase.
