CloudNord Sets a High Bar

After trying a number of hosting providers over the years, CloudNord has quickly become one of the most impressive I've used. Getting started was straightforward from the moment I signed up. The pricing is excellent for the hardware on offer, and there are plenty of configuration choices without the whole process feeling overwhelming. The management panel is clean, responsive, and easy to navigate. Performance has been consistently reliable too — my community has enjoyed smooth gameplay with no noticeable lag or stability problems.

The detail

Running a Factorio server

A Factorio server spends its time on one thing: simulating the factory, every tick, on a single thread. That is why the useful measure is UPS rather than player count — a four-person save with a sprawling late-game base asks far more of the hardware than a dozen people on a young map. Mods have to match on every client, saves move across as a single file, and autosaves run from the first boot.

How much RAM do you need?

1–4 players 3 GB Vanilla, early game, no mods.
4–10 players 6 GB A mid-game base with a modest mod list.
Up to 10, with Space Age 8 GB Several planets and platforms simulated at once.
Megabase or overhaul mods 12–16 GB Late-game factories, or packs like Krastorio 2.

A guide, not a limit — you can change plan later without losing your world.

Getting started

01
Pick a plan and a location

Factorio is bound by single-thread speed, so a fast core matters more than a large one. Size the RAM for the save you expect to end up with, then pick from our 18 locations.

02
Upload a save or generate one

The headless server always runs from a save file. Upload one from your local saves folder, or have the server generate a fresh map with the terrain settings you choose.

03
Add mods and match versions

Put mods in the mods folder and list them in mod-list.json. Joining players are prompted to sync, so stay on versions the mod portal still offers for download.

04
Set server settings and invite

server-settings.json carries the name, description, password, visibility and admin list. Autosaves are already on. Share the address, or list the server publicly with your Factorio account.

Split your server

Turn one server into two, for the same money

Need a database, a test server or a second world? Split RAM off the server you already have. You are re-allocating memory you already pay for, so the total barely moves — no second order, no migration.

Database servers

A real database, not a shared one

Split off a database and you get your own MariaDB, PostgreSQL or MongoDB server — its own RAM, its own storage, its own version. Not a schema on a box shared with a thousand other people.

Your own instance

Dedicated RAM and CPU. A heavy query on someone else's database can't slow yours down.

Pick your engine and version

MariaDB, PostgreSQL or MongoDB, each with every version worth running — choose at creation, keep it until you decide otherwise.

Manage it in the panel

Create databases and users, browse tables and run queries from the browser.

Reachable from your servers

Point your plugins at it over the private network — no public exposure needed.

Splitting is done from your server's page once it is running — nothing to order.

FAQ

Before you order

The things people ask about Factorio hosting before they deploy. Anything else — the crew is around 24/7.

Ask on Discord
No hard limit — from small co-op groups to large communities, scale resources as you grow.
Yes — install via the control panel or upload files directly.
Yes — high-frequency CPUs and NVMe storage are tuned for large factories and late-game UPS needs.
Automatic scheduled backups, restorable to any save point in one click.
Automatic or manual, your choice — we test every update for stability first.
Yes, at matching versions. Factorio is strict about it because mods change the simulation and every client has to arrive at the same result. The game handles most of the work: joining players are told exactly what is missing and can fetch it from the mod portal in a couple of clicks.
Because the limit is UPS, not framerate. Factorio simulates the whole factory every tick on a single thread, so belts, inserters, bot traffic and circuit networks all cost time whether anyone is watching or not. A faster core buys headroom; more cores do not, since the simulation cannot be split across them.
It helps. Every planet and every space platform is another surface the server keeps simulating, so memory use and UPS cost both climb well past a vanilla game of the same age. Eight gigabytes is a reasonable starting point for a group, and a late-game save will want more than that.
Yes. Upload the .zip save from your local saves folder and start the server on it. Bring the mods folder as well, on the versions the save was made with — a save refuses to load if a mod it depends on is missing or sitting at the wrong version.
Add your Factorio username to the admin list in server-settings.json, or promote yourself from the server console in the panel. Admins can kick, ban, pause the game and change settings while people are playing. The console takes RCON too, if you would rather script it.

CloudShield

DDoS protection, included

Every server sits behind always-on filtering at the network edge. Attack traffic is dropped before it reaches your node, so your players stay connected and you are not billed extra for the privilege.

On by default

Nothing to enable, configure or buy as an add-on. Active from the moment your server is created.

Filtered at the edge

Volumetric traffic is dropped upstream of your node, so your CPU and RAM keep serving players.

Game-aware filtering

Rules are tuned for game protocols, so real players are not caught alongside the attack traffic.

Nothing for you to do

Mitigation starts automatically. If something does get through, support can see it and respond.

Attacks, dropped Players, through
Enterprise network

Powered by a 10Gbps network

Every node sits on a 10Gbps uplink with direct routes into the major exchanges, so traffic reaches your players over as few hops as possible. Less distance, fewer transits, lower and steadier ping.
