NFOservers review
A 48-slot Arma 3 server at $57.59 on company-owned hardware, with a free two-day trial and no refunds.

NFOservers is the oldest operator in this directory and the least interested in looking modern. There are no plan cards for Arma 3; there is an order page with a calculator, and it sets a minimum of 48 slots. A Chicago Premium server at that size is $57.59 a month on month-to-month billing, which makes this comfortably the most expensive entry point here and the only one aimed squarely at a large public server rather than a squad.
What the money buys is infrastructure. Every machine is company-owned rather than leased, the seven locations are all Premium-grade with up to 300 Gbps of blended tier-1 bandwidth and an in-house routing system that detects packet loss and reroutes around it, and the Premium sites carry enough headroom to absorb denial-of-service floods. The control panel is written and maintained in-house rather than bought off the shelf, which the company argues lets it adapt quickly when a game updates. Free webhosting, a permanent IP with a dedicated DNS name and a free Mumble server on 8-plus-slot orders are thrown in, and there is a free two-day trial of the exact server you would keep.
The terms are unforgiving. Refunds are ruled out except in a narrow auto-renewal case, so the trial is the only real evaluation route. Game servers are backed up weekly rather than daily, which is thin for a persistent Arma campaign, and the whole proposition collapses for anyone who needs twelve slots rather than forty-eight.
NFOservers pros and cons
- Where it wins
- A free two-day trial of the exact server you keep afterwards
- Company-owned machines and up to 300 Gbps of premium bandwidth
- Selling game servers since 2002, on a control panel it maintains itself
- Where it doesn't
- Arma 3 starts at 48 slots, so $57.59 is the entry price
- Terms of service rule out refunds outside a narrow renewal case
- Game servers are backed up weekly, not daily
