Your own The Bus server, hosted in Australia
A The Bus dedicated server gives your group a server that is always online, with settings, admins and passwords you control, instead of relying on one player to host from their own computer. ASPEC Hosting is Australian owned, so your The Bus server sits in Australia near your players and is billed in Australian dollars.
Simulation servers keep a shared world running for convoys, farms, airfields and transport networks. They often carry large map and mod files, and some save long-running economies, so storage and memory headroom matter.

Build your The Bus serverThe Bus server hosting FAQ
How much does The Bus server hosting cost in Australia?
Plans start at $12.00 AUD a month. For The Bus we usually suggest starting on Performance ($50.00 a month on Dedicated, or $30.00 on Budget Hosting). Longer billing cycles carry a discount, and we confirm the plan with you before anything is charged.
How much RAM does a The Bus server need?
It depends on your player count, map size and mods. Performance (4 GB RAM, 60 GB storage) is a sensible start for most The Bus groups. Tell us how many players and which mods you expect when you build your server, and we will recommend a plan before invoicing.
How do I get a The Bus server?
Build your server: pick Dedicated or Budget Hosting, a location, The Bus and a plan, then create your account. The Bus is set up by our team rather than installed instantly, so your build arrives as a setup request. We confirm the details and send an invoice, and nothing is charged before that.
Where are your The Bus servers hosted?
In Australia. Our locations are Sydney and Melbourne. Each location's current availability is shown on the locations page.
What is the difference between Dedicated and Budget Hosting for The Bus?
Both come with the same memory and storage. Dedicated gives your The Bus server its own CPU allocation for steady performance. Budget Hosting runs on shared CPU cores for 40% less, which suits smaller groups; performance can vary when neighbouring servers are busy.
Can I switch my The Bus server to a different game later?
Yes. You buy game server capacity, not a single game. Ask us to install another game and keep the same plan, location and billing.
Can I use mods on my The Bus server?
Where The Bus supports server mods, yes. Large map packs need extra storage, so tell us your mod list when you order.
