New AutoUpdate function2014-10-17 12:23

Automatic updates of game servers is now possible.

What's new?
The ability to automaticly restart your server in the event of a new update for the game it's running. As we release SwedishHost AutoUpdate we are giving you as a customer control over how you want your server updated and if you would like our systems to restart it for you as soon as a new update is released for the game it's running. This is available as an option under the control panel were you can choose to use Auto Restart or if you manually want to control this. By default all servers are set with automatic restart in the event of an update.

Right now this function is only available for the game CS:GO but will be available for more in the future as we expand the system.

What does SwedishHost AutoUpdate entail ?
As soon as we detect that Valve has released an update towards their repositorys we will initiate our system to download and distribute the update to all servers running that game. Once the update part is complete the system will restart the servers that are set to auto restart in order to get your servers online, on the right version, as soon as possible.

As for other games it can take a while before we release the same functionality as the methods for each games are unique. Some even have technical limitations which makes it impossible and some never update anymore.


Should you encounter any problems after your server has been automaticly updated, don't hesitate to ask our support staff to help you out.
