Why Among Us needs specific hardware

Lightest game on the list

Among Us uses almost no server resources. A 1-core, 1 GB RAM cloud server runs 3–5 concurrent lobbies with no issues.

Private server = no strangers

Hosting your own server means you control who can connect. Perfect for team events or private communities.

Runs on any OS

The Among Us dedicated server binary runs on Linux. Any Dedimax cloud or VPS plan with a Linux distribution works perfectly.

Scale up for events

If you run a community event with many games simultaneously, simply upgrade your plan — or add a second cloud instance. No commitment required.

Frequently asked questions

Can I restrict who joins my server?

Yes. Use a private lobby code only your friends know, and host your own server so it doesn't appear on public matchmaking. You control exactly who connects.

Do my friends need a modded client to join?

No. Players connect using the standard, unmodified Among Us game. They just need to enter your server IP in the custom server field — no mods required.

Can I run multiple lobbies simultaneously?

Yes. The Among Us server handles multiple lobbies by default. A single 2-core cloud server runs 5–10 simultaneous lobbies with no performance issues.

Can I customise game settings centrally?

Some server-level settings are configurable, but most options (impostors, task count, kill cooldown) are set by the lobby host in-game. The dedicated server handles networking and matchmaking.

What operating system does the Among Us server need?

The dedicated server binary runs on Linux. Any Dedimax cloud or VPS plan with Ubuntu or Debian works perfectly — no Windows licence needed.

Among Us is the most affordable game to self-host. Its dedicated server binary is extremely lightweight — a single cloud server with 1 core and 1 GB RAM can run multiple concurrent lobbies. Hosting your own Among Us server gives you full control over who can join, custom game settings, and no reliance on public matchmaking servers. Dedimax cloud servers start from €3.90/mo with instant deployment and no commitment — the simplest way to run private Among Us lobbies for your community or team events.
