Garry's Mod Server Hosting Guides

13 guides to help you set up, configure, and troubleshoot your Garry's Mod server.

Step-by-step guide to creating a GMod server via game panel or VPS.

Three ways to join a GMod server: direct IP, Steam Favorites, and in-game browser.

Edit server.cfg to set your GMod hostname so players see it in the server browser.

Switch maps live with changelevel or change the default startup map.

Add a Workshop Collection ID to auto-distribute addons to all players on connect.

Hide from the server browser, add a password, or use a SteamID64 whitelist.

Use ULX console or in-game chat commands to ban, banid, or unban players.

Grant superadmin in ULX, SAM, or SAdmin via the Game Panel console.

Install DarkRP from GitHub, set the gamemode, and customise jobs with DarkRPModification.

Install Prop Hunt Enhanced, add ph_ maps, and configure the gamemode for a working server.

Set up a SWRP server with DerivedRP, Star Wars content, and custom clone trooper jobs.

Restart to auto-update on NolimitHost, or use SteamCMD app_update 4020 on a VPS.

Wipe and reinstall for a clean server, or restore core files while keeping your data.
