Game servers built in Australia, run by AI.
Low ping for AU/NZ players, your data kept onshore, and an AI assistant that installs mods, fixes crashes and makes backups — just ask in plain English.
Launching with the games our community plays
Start narrow, do it properly. Tap a game for details.
Tell your server what you want. It does the rest.
No config files, no mod-version guesswork. The assistant installs and updates mods, edits settings, reads crash logs, restarts safely and takes backups before risky changes.
Mods & configs
Installs modpacks and tweaks settings in plain English.
Crash triage
Reads logs, finds the cause and suggests or applies a fix.
Safe by default
Snapshots before changes, so anything can be rolled back.
You stay in control
Risky actions ask for confirmation first.
Built on hands-on work: a Valheim agent swarm, a Starbound agent and the Valheim wiki at gaming.brandan.au.

Questions
When does the beta start?
A closed beta is planned soon. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when spots open.
Where are the servers?
Brisbane and Sydney at launch. Melbourne, Perth and Auckland are planned.
What does "sleep when empty" mean?
When nobody's online for a while, your server hibernates to save cost and energy. It wakes as soon as someone connects. Prefer 24/7? Add always-on.
Is the AI assistant safe to let loose on my server?
It takes a backup before changes and asks before anything destructive. You can roll back at any time.
Can I bring my own mods or world?
Yes — upload worlds and mods through the file manager or SFTP, or let the assistant install packs for you.
Are prices final?
No. All prices are indicative beta pricing in AUD and may change before launch.
Is this affiliated with the game developers?
No. GameHost.au is an independent host. Game names are trademarks of their respective owners.
