Our verdict on Shockbyte

Shockbyte's Arma 3 ladder is short and readable. Private gives 24 players on 3 GB for $14.99 a month, Corporal steps to 64 players on 5 GB for $29.99, and Sergeant opens a customiser at 128 or more players on 6 GB and up for $49.92. Every tier carries DLC support, mod verification, custom terrains and custom missions, automatic updates and backups, and a choice of 16 network locations picked at checkout.

The feature worth singling out is the refund. Shockbyte advertises a 72-hour self-serve refund on the game pages, which means cancelling is a button in the client area rather than a conversation with a retention desk. For a first Arma 3 server, where a squad may discover in two evenings that 3 GB does not carry their modset, that is a genuinely useful escape hatch. The new control panel is the host's own rather than a Multicraft or TCAdmin skin, and support runs 24/7.

The pricing is the problem. Five dollars per gigabyte is the worst ratio in this directory, and Arma 3 is a game where memory is the binding constraint on any modded server. The company's own guide for installing Workshop mods walks through the process manually, so this is not a one-click host in the sense LOW.MS or Host Havoc are. Steps between tiers are large too, which leaves a 30-player unit paying for 64 slots.
