Our verdict on Nodecraft
Nodecraft splits every game into two lines, and for Arma 3 that split matters. Budget "Wake & Play" servers hibernate when nobody is connected and resume on demand, starting at $11.92 for 4 GB, $17.88 for 6 GB and $23.84 for 8 GB. Premium servers stay online around the clock and run $19.98, $29.98 and $39.98 for the same memory. Player slots are not capped on either line, so the only ceiling is what the game engine allows.
The safety nets are the best here. A 24-hour trial needs no credit card, only phone verification, and a longer card-backed trial is offered alongside it. The money-back guarantee runs seven days, once per customer for life, which is more than double what most of this table offers. Backups are stored in the cloud, the ping widget names 27 cities, and the panel handles game swapping without a new order.
Two things hold it back. Nodecraft flags its own 4 GB tier as not recommended for Arma 3, so the honest starting point for a real server is $17.88 on 6 GB — and at that price several hosts above give you a Workshop installer as well. Which leads to the second problem: nothing on the Arma 3 page is Arma-specific. There is a generic one-click installer and a knowledge-base article about adding missions, but no mod manager, no Creator DLC handling and no headless client guidance.
