Managed Hosting (Studio Cloud)

> Coming soon — private beta. Managed hosting is still being finished and isn't generally available yet. To put a game online today, use Self-Hosting on a VPS.

Managed hosting (Studio Cloud) will let you put a game online without running your own server. The intended flow:

• One-click deploy — pick a plan and ED5 provisions a managed game server for your project from your dashboard.
• Lifecycle controls — deploy the latest build, restart, toggle maintenance mode, roll back, and restore backups, all from the dashboard.
• Monitoring — health, player counts, and logs in one place.
• Public play link — the same shareable /play/<slug> link, resolving to your managed server automatically.

Until it's generally available, the supported path is self-hosting on your own VPS, which already works end-to-end with the public play link (register your server under Connect your own VPS in your dashboard). See Self-Hosting on a VPS and Publishing Your Game.
