How much does a Star Rupture server cost in 2026? Real prices from €10.40/mo, a plan-by-plan breakdown and RAM by player count.
How much does a Star Rupture server cost in 2026?
A dedicated Star Rupture server costs between €10.40 and €47.99 per month, depending on RAM, CPU performance and storage. For a typical co-op squad, you can expect to pay around €10–14/month; a high-stability 16 GB server with faster hardware tops out near €48/month.
The two providers we compare for Star Rupture are Shockbyte (English 24/7 support, NVMe storage) and Minestrator (French datacenter, RAM-tiered plans). All prices below come directly from their live Star Rupture plans — no estimates.
The short answer
Star Rupture server price breakdown (per plan)
Here is every Star Rupture plan currently available in our Star Rupture hosting comparison, sorted by monthly price.
| Plan | Provider | RAM | Storage | Price / month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| StarRupture | Shockbyte | 4 GB+ | NVMe | €10.40 |
| MyBox 8 | Minestrator | 8 GB | 50 GB SSD | €13.99 |
| MyBox 12 | Minestrator | 12 GB | 80 GB SSD | €20.99 |
| MyBoxPerf 8 | Minestrator | 8 GB | 50 GB SSD | €23.99 |
| MyBox 16 | Minestrator | 16 GB | 120 GB SSD | €27.99 |
| MyBoxPerf 12 | Minestrator | 12 GB | 80 GB SSD | €35.99 |
| MyBoxPerf 16 | Minestrator | 16 GB | 120 GB SSD | €47.99 |
The key takeaway: Shockbyte's single plan is the cheapest entry point at €10.40/month with NVMe storage. Minestrator scales by RAM, and its "Perf" tiers cost more because they run on higher-performance hardware — which matters for Star Rupture, as you'll see below.
What actually drives the price of a Star Rupture server?
A few factors explain most of the €10.40–€47.99 range:
- RAM — the biggest cost lever. The recommended minimum is 8 GB, with 16 GB for a comfortably stable session. Minestrator's price climbs steadily from 8 to 16 GB.
- CPU performance — Star Rupture's Unreal Engine is single-thread intensive, so raw clock speed matters more than core count. Minestrator's "Perf" tiers cost a premium specifically for faster CPUs.
- Storage type and size — Shockbyte ships NVMe; Minestrator includes 50–120 GB of SSD depending on the tier, which gives you room for multiple saves and backups.
Why high clock speed matters here
How much RAM (and budget) do you really need?
Star Rupture is a co-op survival and base-building game capped at a small squad, so you're paying for stability rather than for a big player count. The ranges below map directly to the real plans above.
Duo or trio
RAM: 8 GB
Players: 2–3
Price: From €10.40/month
✓ Ideal for: A small co-op group getting started. Shockbyte (€10.40) is the cheapest entry; Minestrator MyBox 8 (€13.99) gives you a full 8 GB.
Full squad of four
RAM: 16 GB
Players: 4
Price: €13.99–€27.99/month
✓ Ideal for: A complete squad wanting headroom for a smooth session. Minestrator MyBox 16 (€27.99) gives the most RAM per euro on standard hardware.
Full squad — high-stability
RAM: 16 GB + faster CPU
Players: 4
Price: €35.99–€47.99/month
✓ Ideal for: A persistent 24/7 world that needs to stay rock-solid. Minestrator's 'Perf' tiers (MyBoxPerf 16, €47.99) add the high clock-speed CPUs the engine prefers.
The best value pick
For most groups, Minestrator MyBox 8 at €13.99/month is the smartest buy: a full 8 GB of RAM plus 50 GB of SSD, which already covers the recommended minimum for a co-op squad. Step up to MyBox 16 (16 GB) or the "Perf" tiers only when you want maximum stability or a high clock-speed CPU. If you just want the cheapest possible start, Shockbyte at €10.40/month is the lowest entry price.
Is there a free Star Rupture server option?
Free Star Rupture hosting exists in theory — you can self-host from your own PC at no monetary cost. But it comes with real trade-offs: the world only runs while your machine is on, you expose your home IP, and you handle SteamCMD installs, UDP port forwarding (7777 for game traffic, 27015 for the Steam query) and the manual in-game "Manage Server" setup yourself. A paid plan from €10.40/month removes most of that friction with a persistent world, DDoS protection and automatic backups — and many hosts handle the server initialization for you.
Should you rent monthly or pay longer-term?
All the plans above are billed per month, with no long commitment required. That suits Star Rupture especially well: dedicated servers are still an officially experimental feature in Early Access, so the server needs updating after each game patch before players can reconnect. A monthly plan means you can pause hosting between updates and simply cancel when your group takes a break — there's no need to buy a server outright while the game is still evolving.
