Arma Reforger dedicated hosting for a small friend group (2026)
Arma Reforger is Bohemia’s newer Cold War sandbox on a modern engine — Conflict mode, Everon, Workshop scenarios — not the same product page as Arma 3 (different tiers, RAM floors, and host SKUs). Shockbyte, Nodecraft, GameTeam and BisectHosting sell it. Apex Hosting and PebbleHost Reforger page URLs we tried returned 404 (Apex’s catalog lists Arma III only). Prices below were read from each host’s own Arma Reforger page. GameTeam’s FAQ calls Reforger lighter than Arma 3 at the same player count, but scenario size still scales RAM — confirm the bill and headroom at checkout.
RAM, slots and mods
- Friend-group fit: A passworded Conflict / coop night is often well under Shockbyte’s labeled Minibus · 12 players · 6 GB slot cap. Nodecraft does not limit slots (FAQ pattern) and marks Budget “Not recommended for this game” — Premium from 5 GB · $24.98/mo recurring is the 24/7 line they push. GameTeam FAQ: unlimited slots on a per-GB price; scenarios often land around 32–128 players depending on content. You do not need a 48-slot APC box for a friend group.
- RAM honesty (host claims only — distinct from Arma 3): Shockbyte’s Reforger tiers start at 6 GB (Minibus) then 8 GB / 10 GB — higher floors than their Arma 3 Private 3 GB line. Nodecraft Budget/Premium cards list 5 / 6 / 10 GB (5 GB labeled “Minimum Viable”). GameTeam’s FAQ says 4–8 GB and notes Reforger is lighter than Arma 3 at the same player count but scales with scenario size. Bisect prices per GB but did not display a clear $/GB rate on the markup we read. Vanilla friend nights may fit 4–6 GB; modded / large Conflict scenarios should budget toward 6–10 GB+ — confirm at checkout. Do not reuse Arma 3 RAM tables.
- Mods / Workshop (host claims only): GameTeam claims Workshop install — mods declared by ID and version in server config; clients download on join; AI copilot for mod/scenario setup. Bisect claims Full Mod Support. Shockbyte claims Full File Access / easy configuration / customize missions (no Reforger-specific Workshop one-click claim on the page we read). Nodecraft claims file manager + SFTP and links Steam Workshop in the game bio (no Reforger-specific Workshop one-click claim on the page we read). Apex / PebbleHost not confirmed. See Night 6.
Comparison: Arma Reforger plans
Price sources: every price comes from the host’s own Arma Reforger page (fetched 24 Oct 2026, NZDT). No third-party or search-summary prices are used. Recurring monthly figures are preferred over first-month sale teasers (sales disclosed where shown). TBD means the host page showed no clear plan total, or the page URLs we tried returned 404. Confirm at checkout.

Apex / PebbleHost: no host-owned Arma Reforger product page confirmed (404 / absent from catalog). No host is crowned “#1”. Confirm slots, RAM and the recurring bill at checkout.
Oceania note
Arma Reforger’s Conflict sync and vehicle netcode still punish long routes. AU/NZ groups should check Nodecraft’s listed Melbourne / Sydney / Auckland nodes on this Reforger page, then Shockbyte (Melbourne company; global locations claimed), GameTeam’s global map, and Bisect stock (21 locations; out-of-stock notice on the page we read). Apex and PebbleHost were not confirmed for Reforger — Arma 3 / Minecraft Sydney notes do not transfer here. See the Oceania ping guide.
Budget note and shortlist (not rankings)
- Labeled under ~$20 recurring: Shockbyte Minibus 6 GB / 12 players, $17.99/mo. Nodecraft Budget from $14.90/mo hibernates and is marked “Not recommended” — prefer Premium if you want 24/7.
- 24/7 Premium: Nodecraft Premium 5 GB, $24.98/mo recurring (first-month sale disclosed separately); step to 6–10 GB if the scenario or Workshop set needs headroom.
- RAM toward 4–8 GB (host FAQ): GameTeam Budget from $0.49/GB · week, Premium from $0.74/GB · week — confirm plan total, term and GB at checkout.
- If Bisect price/stock is hidden, or Apex/PebbleHost are absent: use Shockbyte, Nodecraft or GameTeam first; home CTAs for Apex / PebbleHost if you want to ask support whether Reforger is coming.
- Similar nights: Arma 3 (Night 51), DayZ (Night 23), Squad (Night 42), Hell Let Loose (Night 50). Also budget under ~$20 and Oceania ping.
