# Unturned Server Hosting Guide: Setup, Commands, Mods and Fixes

> Unturned server hosting guide for FREAKHOSTING: GSLT setup, game settings, vehicle and item spawning, admin, RocketMod plugins, Workshop maps and fixes.

This Unturned server hosting guide lists every FREAKHOSTING help page for Unturned. Your server runs the Unturned dedicated server with RocketMod already installed. In the Game Panel, **Game settings** changes your server's rules in plain words, with presets and a review before saving. One thing comes first: a Steam game server login token (GSLT), without which the server can't start. New here? Start with [getting started](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/unturned/getting-started-with-your-unturned-server.md).

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need a Steam token for my Unturned server?

Yes. Our Unturned servers need a valid GSLT for App ID 304930. Without it the panel stays on **Starting** and nobody can join.

### Is RocketMod installed?

Yes. RocketMod 4.9.3.18 is installed on every new server, so `/v`, `/i` and plugins work straight away.

### Can I change Unturned settings without editing files?

Yes. **Game settings** covers the server, server list, safety limits, zombies, items, vehicles, players, gameplay rules and weather. For `Owner`, `Cheats` and `PvE`, edit `Commands.dat` with the link on the same page.

### How do I back up my Unturned world?

Use [Backups](https://help.freakhosting.com/portals/game-panel/how-to-create-and-restore-backups.md). Type `save` in the console first so the backup has the latest world.
