Briefing
About Garry's Mod server hosting
A Garry's Mod server is the Garry's Mod dedicated server, installed with SteamCMD (app 4020) on Windows or Linux. What it plays depends on the gamemode you start it with: +gamemode takes a folder name from garrysmod/gamemodes, so DarkRP runs with +gamemode darkrp. The Facepunch wiki calls a Game Server Login Token mandatory, says servers without one rank lower in the server list, and each server needs its own token.
Most server content comes from the Steam Workshop. A public or unlisted collection, loaded with +host_workshop_collection, lets the server download and mount addons at startup and check them for updates on every restart. Players still need the content. Lua files are sent automatically, but models, materials, sounds and maps have to be served through Workshop downloads (resource.AddWorkshop) or FastDL. When that step is missed, players see ERROR models and missing textures.
The Facepunch wiki doesn't publish official RAM or CPU requirements for a DarkRP server, so size a server by player count and addon count. On DarkRP, custom jobs, entities, shipments and settings go in the darkrpmodification addon, never in DarkRP's core files. EZ Game Host lists Basic for Sandbox and TTT, Standard as DarkRP ready with Workshop collections, and Pro for large community servers, with FastDL, ULX admin support, full file access and 3 backup slots.

Setup
How to set up a Garry's Mod dedicated server
You can run the server yourself or let EZ Game Host run it for you. Here is what each path involves.
With EZ Game Host
- Choose Garry's Mod and a plan sized for your group.
- Name your server and pick its game options and region at checkout.
- Pay, and the server deploys automatically with 3 backup slots ready.
- Share the server address with friends and manage everything from the panel.
Self-hosting on your own machine
- Install the Garry's Mod dedicated server with SteamCMD using app ID 4020.
- Create a Game Server Login Token at steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers with App ID 4000.
- Build a public or unlisted Workshop collection with your gamemode, map and addons.
- Start srcds with +gamemode, +map, +host_workshop_collection and +sv_setsteamaccount set.
- Add a resource.AddWorkshop line for each content addon so players download its models and materials.
- Install ULX and ULib, do a full restart, and run ulx adduser to make yourself superadmin.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install addons from the Steam Workshop?
Paste Workshop collection IDs into the panel or upload addon files directly. We keep the server files organized so maps, DarkRP jobs, weapons, and dependencies load cleanly after restart.
What game modes are pre-configured on my server?
DarkRP, TTT, Sandbox, Prop Hunt, Murder, and common community modes can be selected during setup. You can still replace the gamemode files or add your own custom Lua whenever you want.
Do you support FastDL?
Yes. FastDL is included for maps, materials, models, and sounds so first-time players are not stuck waiting on slow in-game downloads.
How do I install ULX admin mod?
Upload ULX and ULib through the file manager or Workshop collection, then assign yourself superadmin from the console. We can also help import existing admin groups.
Can I migrate my existing DarkRP server to EZ Game Host?
Yes. Bring your addon collection, server.cfg, DarkRP database, jobs, shipments, maps, and custom Lua. We will help move the server without making your community start over.
How many players can my server handle?
Small groups fit the Basic plan, active DarkRP communities should start on Standard, and large public servers or networks should use Pro for more CPU and memory headroom.
Why do players see ERROR models or missing textures?
Players don't have the content. Check that the addon is in your collection, add resource.AddWorkshop for each content addon, and check its Workshop page for required content. Lua-only addons don't need this step.
Why won't my server start, or why does it show Steam error code 6?
An invalid or expired Game Server Login Token stops the server from starting, and changing your Steam password invalidates all your tokens. Error code 6 usually means the same token is in use on two servers.
Where should I put custom DarkRP jobs and settings?
In the darkrpmodification addon inside garrysmod/addons, for example lua/darkrp_customthings/jobs.lua for jobs and lua/darkrp_config/settings.lua for settings. Editing DarkRP's own files stops you from updating it.
