Grapple Gaming review
A practical private-server option for five-player groups, but not a verified DST host.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Grapple Gaming provides private game-server hosting from South Africa, with plans sized from 1 GB to 12 GB of memory. Its published offering is designed for small private Assetto Corsa groups: servers are private by default, and players can be invited individually by email rather than joining through a public IP address. The service is operated by Grapple Gaming (Pty) Ltd, headquartered in Johannesburg, and its published category details set a five-player limit.
Pricing starts at 79 ZAR per month, billed monthly. The plan range includes 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, 6 GB, 8 GB, and 12 GB options. Each listed plan includes a private server, console access, server files, backups, and Assetto Corsa support. The published plans also include the core controls expected by small private groups: full file access, restore points, and support for custom mods and plugins. There is no free plan, and ordering is not yet open; the vendor says the published monthly prices will apply when ordering opens.
For the Don't Starve Together Hosting category, the main issue is product fit. The published service description focuses on Assetto Corsa, and the available details do not establish Don't Starve Together support or a verified platform match. That makes Grapple Gaming more suitable for a small South African racing group than for someone specifically seeking a Don't Starve Together server. Choose it if private access, South African hosting, console and file control, backups, and mod support matter for Assetto Corsa. Choose a host with explicit Don't Starve Together support if that game is the deciding requirement.
