BisectHosting's Squad servers are a fantastic way to host large communities of players. With key benefits such as 24/7 uptime and a user-friendly server panel, users can customize the server to their liking. BisectHosting's Starbase panel also allows users to designate players as admins and use various commands and features to moderate the server. This ensures the server is safe and secure and is essential for large public servers that get many new players.
