WARDOGS server hosting: community servers and the partners BULKHEAD named
The short answer, checked October 31, 2026: community-hosted WARDOGS servers exist, and BULKHEAD named QONZER, BisectHosting and xREALM as approved hosting partners. As listed on each partner's own page that day, a 60-slot server starts at £49.95 a month at QONZER, US$69.99 at xREALM and $71.99 at BisectHosting. Prices change, so check the partner page before you buy.
To find a community server in game, hit DEPLOY and choose the Community list (Update 0.1.2, September 30, 2026).
Community servers and the three named partners
Community-hosted servers exist for WARDOGS. BULKHEAD named three approved hosting partners for them: QONZER, BisectHosting and xREALM.
This page records what each partner lists on its own WARDOGS page. It does not rank the three. The details still open are listed in the last section.
What the three partners list: slots and monthly price
Each partner lists a 60-slot, an 80-slot and a 100-slot WARDOGS package. The prices below are copied as each partner showed them on October 31, 2026, in the currency each page used. They are not converted, and the pages do not state matching hardware, so do not read the table as a like-for-like comparison.
| Partner | 60 slots | 80 slots | 100 slots |
|---|---|---|---|
| QONZER | £49.95/mo | £59.95/mo | £69.95/mo |
| xREALM | US$69.99 per month | US$79.99 per month | US$114.99 per month |
| BisectHosting | $71.99 monthly | $83.99 monthly | $95.99 monthly |
Scroll sideways for the rest of the columns.
BisectHosting adds "applicable taxes" to its monthly price. It lists 24GB, 28GB and 32GB of RAM for the three tiers, and a per-GB rate that falls from $2.99 (monthly) to $2.40 (annual).
QONZER lists savings of 5% (quarterly), 10% (semi-annual) and 15% (annual), a 7-day money-back guarantee and no contracts. xREALM lists whitelisting and reserved slots by Steam ID and a banned-player list.
How players find a community server
Two in-game tools do the finding: the DEPLOY flow and the server browser.
DEPLOY: Official, Community, Infantry Mode, Low-Level
Update 0.1.2 (September 30, 2026) added a new DEPLOY flow. Hit DEPLOY and choose Official, Community, Infantry Mode or Low-Level servers.
BULKHEAD said the purpose was to better highlight the existence of the Infantry Mode and Low-Level COMMUNITY servers. Those servers existed before the update; 0.1.2 did not create them.
Fan guides recommend Low-Level servers for new players. That is a fan-guide recommendation, not an official statement.
Ping tags and filters in the server browser
Per the Season 02 patch notes, Season 02 added "maximum ping tags and filters to the server browser." The same notes say community server admins can configure their own ping limits.
Also per the Season 02 patch notes, official servers enforce per-region maximum ping limits. A player who exceeds a limit over a sustained period is kicked, and cannot rejoin the same server until the next map transition. This page records no numeric limit.
What is still To be confirmed
This page covers the existence of community servers, the three partner names, what each partner lists for price and slots, the DEPLOY lists and the Season 02 ping tools. It does not cover the details below, so it leaves them open.
- Mod support on community servers: To be confirmed.
- Server locations and the regions QONZER and xREALM offer: To be confirmed.
- Prices for billing periods other than monthly at xREALM: To be confirmed.
- Whether the three packages match in hardware and settings: To be confirmed.
A failed join is a client-side problem with its own page: WARDOGS can't join server.
