Citadel Servers has hosted games since 2012 and charges most titles per player slot, advertised from $0.43 per slot, on a heavily customised TCAdmin panel. Servers come with full FTP and database access, scheduled scripts and backups, NVMe drives on Xeon processors, one-click mod installs where supported and the option to move to another location at any time. The catalogue is wide, with hosting categories for Steam, Epic, console and mobile titles.
The Garry's Mod page is the strongest example of its work, with one-click Steam Workshop installs, a graphical configuration tool, automatic server and mod updates and support for the GMod server API. Other pages, including Counter-Strike 2 and Arma Reforger, reuse the same template text with little game-specific detail.
Two things hold it back. Its terms offer a seven-day money-back guarantee on web and VPS products but explicitly exclude game servers, and the FiveM page recommends a different GTA V framework, alt:V, over the product it is selling. It is a workable per-slot host for Garry's Mod and older Source titles rather than a first choice across the board.
