About Zeros Host

We ran game servers.Got fed up.Built better tools.

That's the short version. The long version is below.

You'll sometimes see us called Zeros RP — that's just our zerosrp.co.uk domain shorthand. Same team, same product.

01The problem

We ran game servers and kept hitting the same walls.

Garry's Mod DarkRP servers. Installing addons meant FTP clients, manual extractions, and hoping it went to the right folder. Every panel we tried felt generic - designed for every game, optimised for none.

02The build

We built the tools we needed ourselves.

Mod Manager first, so addon installs were one click instead of ten. Backdoor Scanner after a free addon pack arrived with a RAT in a Lua file. A browser file editor because opening a desktop FTP app to change one config line was too slow. Internal tooling that nobody else was building for GMod.

"Once we were using it daily on real servers, we made it available to other server owners."

03The shift

Once we used it daily, we made it a product.

When the panel was good enough to run real servers on, we made it available to other server owners. Zeros Host is built around that panel - not a panel bolted on as an afterthought.

04Right now

Small team. No investors.

Every feature we ship is something we've needed ourselves. Every bug we fix is something we've hit personally.

05What's next

Fewer new games. Deeper tools.

GMod, Minecraft, Terraria, and Rust are shipped. Now we're going deeper: addon integrations that surface player inventories from the panel, modpack installers for Forge and Fabric, more EU regions. Same principle throughout - tools that understand the game they're running.

What we believe about hosting

01

Panels should know the game they're running.

A Garry's Mod hosting panel should understand addon directories, mod ecosystems, and that server owners aren't sysadmins. We built ours from scratch around GMod-specific workflows.

02

No inflated claims or phantom features.

We don't inflate user counts, fabricate testimonials, or list features that aren't shipped yet. If something isn't ready, we say so.

03

Core tools are free at every plan, not premium upsells.

Backdoor scanning and health monitoring are included on every tier. Security tools shouldn't require an upgrade.

04

Small team means quick decisions and real expertise.

Every decision is made by someone who uses the product daily. No committees, no roadmap meetings - we move when something needs to move.

Founder

Nathan has been running Garry's Mod DarkRP servers since 2019. He built the Mod Manager first - because FTP addon installs were broken. He still runs the ZerosRP DarkRP server, still writes the code, and still handles every support message personally.
