Platform: Dash · Nodes
Central control with the same neon glassy Dash vibe: operate by UI, API, or Discord.
Operate with confidence
- • Dash: fleet orchestration, updates, backups with glassy controls
- • Discord: slash commands, status, safe reboots via the Riftspire bot
- • Nodes: resilient, observable, auto-recovery on your or our hardware
Premium nodes are tuned for game workloads with per-server CPU budgets, core placement, and headroom for busy maps, so budget tiers still feel good to play on.
Choose your path
Managed, self-managed on our infra, or bring your own hardware — all designed to be cheaper than typical branded game hosting while staying reliable.
We run it for you
Updates, monitoring, backups, incidents — handled.
- • Proactive patching & mod checks
- • Scheduled/on-demand backups
- • Priority support
You take the controls
Operate via Dash, API, and Discord tooling on Riftspire infrastructure.
- • Fleet control with Dash

CPU is shared across nodes, with higher tiers placed on less contended, higher‑clock hardware and given more consistent, prioritised access. Backup slots refer to retained snapshots per server; when all slots are in use, older snapshots are pruned as new ones are created.
Add your own hardware — keep control, gain Dash
Run the Riftspire Node daemon on your server (Linux). It pairs securely to your account and shows up in Dash. Manage updates, backups, and restarts from one place. Use Discord tools if you want chat-first ops.
