If you want to lead your squad and control the battlefield, hosting your own The Front server is the way to go. You can manage every rule, invite friends or the community, and fight for victory exactly how you want. This guide explains how to host your own server and why Citadel Servers is the perfect choice for your setup.
Step 1: Pick a Reliable Hosting Provider
The Front is a fast-paced multiplayer shooter that relies on smooth performance and low latency. When selecting a host, focus on:
Performance: Servers with strong CPUs and SSD or NVMe storage reduce lag and ensure smooth gameplay.
Network Quality: Low latency and stable connections are critical for competitive shooters.
Ease of Management: A clean, intuitive control panel makes configuration simple for both new and experienced players.
Support Availability: 24/7 support ensures any server issues are resolved quickly.
Citadel Servers offers all of these, giving you the stability, performance, and flexibility needed for your battlefield.
Step 2: Order Your Hosting Plan
Once you’ve decided to host with Citadel Servers, getting started is simple:
1. Go to the The Front hosting page.
2. Choose how many player slots you want.
3. Pick your server location closest to your player base for the best ping.
4. Select any extras, like process priority, premium support, etc.
5. Proceed to checkout, once payment is confirmed, your server deploys automatically.
You’ll receive an email with your control panel login details and connection info within minutes.
Step 3: Configure Your Server
Once your server is live, it’s time to make it your own:
- Follow our Quick Start Guide
Set your server name, password, and admin list.
Adjust game modes, map rotation, and match settings.
Configure friendly fire, respawn rules, and round length.
Upload custom maps or mods using FTP/SFTP or the built-in Mod Manager.
Test the server to ensure it runs smoothly before inviting players.
All configuration is handled via the Citadel Control Panel, designed to make hosting easy and stress-free.
Step 4: Launch and Play
When your settings are ready, start your server from the panel and invite your friends.
Players can connect via the in-game server browser or by entering the server’s IP and port.
You can monitor activity, manage users, and restart your world at any time, all through the same web interface.
