Host a Quake III Arena server — the 1999 GPL classic — with custom mods, competitive configs, and the network tuning pure Q3 deserves.
Our modified Pterodactyl panel gives you everything you need to manage a dedicated game server from any device.
Every server you run, on one screen. Live CPU, RAM, network, and player counts update in real time — no refresh, no terminal, no hunting through tabs. Start, stop, or restart any instance with a single click.
13 data centers across 5 continents. Pick the location closest to your players at checkout — switch anytime.
Quake III Arena is id Software's 1999 arena shooter — the game that defined competitive FPS for a decade and remains the purest air-control movement shooter ever shipped. The community still runs ranked matches on CPMA/OSP mods and custom maps.
Our Q3 template uses the GPL-released server binary with OSP, CPMA, and excessiveplus mod options. Custom maps (.pk3 files) upload via panel file manager. Rcon is panel-accessible; competitive configs (sv_fps 40, pmove_fixed 1) are templated.
Q3 is ultralight on hardware but demanding on network quality — tickrate and jitter are everything for competitive duels. Our low-latency 13-location network is what the community actually wants from a host.
“Server performance is excellent. Our community is very happy with the uptime and stability.”
“Setup was instant and the panel makes server management so easy. Highly recommend.”
“Best hosting we've used. Support is responsive and the hardware is top-tier.”
Yes. CPMA and OSP ranked ladders are still active; classic dueling is alive in the scene that's been doing it for 25 years.
OSP, CPMA, excessiveplus, and any community mod with a .qvm or .pk3. Full file access via the panel.
Yes. Upload .pk3 files via panel; maplist is editable.
256 MB is plenty for a full 32-slot server. Starter plan is overkill.
Always-on. Competitive Q3 servers are frequent DDoS targets during ranked play.
Yes. Quake Live is Quake 3's 2010 reskin with new matchmaking. Different binary, different server, both supported by us.
