Swarm Hosts is a browser control panel for game servers that run on a Windows 10/11 or Linux PC, mini PC, home server, or VPS you already own. Connect the lightweight agent, choose a supported game, and manage everyday tasks from the browser while your game servers, worlds, and local backups stay on your hardware. The Early Access catalog includes Minecraft Java, ARK: Survival Ascended, Valheim, Factorio, Terraria, Garry's Mod, Counter-Strike: Source, Left 4 Dead 2, Minetest, Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike 1.6, and OpenTTD. The Free plan connects one host at $0; no payment details are required during registration. You provide the hardware, storage, internet connection, and any required game license.
We built Swarm Hosts to make the path from a computer you already own to a playable game server easier to follow. The product connects the host, helps choose a supported game, and brings everyday management and local backup tools into the browser while the host and its files remain under the user's control. It is in Early Access, so the workflow is still being developed.
