Host a Quake III Arena server — the 1999 GPL classic — with custom mods, competitive configs, and the network tuning pure Q3 deserves.
Transparent pricing for Quake 3 server hosting. All plans include NVMe storage, DDoS protection, and our modern panel.
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.
“Setup was instant. I was uploading my world within two minutes of checkout.”
“Latency from the EU node is under 30ms for my whole squad. Zero rubber-banding even on intense sessions.”
“Support actually knows the games. Had a config issue resolved in 20 minutes at 2am.”
“Backups saved a 200-hour save after a mod broke it. One-click restore, worth the plan by itself.”
“Panel is miles better than what I was on before. I don't even miss SFTP.”
“Switching between games without paying again is the feature I didn't know I needed.”
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.
