To make a new server in Roblox, players simply look for the “Private Servers” tab on a game’s page—assuming the developer allows it, of course, some don’t like to share—then pay with Robux for a monthly slot. This lets them name it, invite friends, or even lock it down for total peace. Want more control over the chaos and to dodge random drama? Private servers are perfect for that. Stick around for tips on setup, access, and a few sneaky customization tricks.
Jumping into Roblox and want a world of your own? Good news: private servers make that possible—at least, when the game supports them. Not every Roblox game offers the option, so if you’re eyeing a specific place to call your digital home, check first. Public servers, of course, are the default; they’re a bit like the wild west—anyone can join, chaos can ensue, and making a private joke is a risky move.
Private servers in Roblox let you carve out your own world—if the game allows it, escape the wild chaos of public servers.
But with private servers, you get a velvet rope experience for you and your chosen crew. Setting up a private server isn’t free, though. Usually, it’ll cost you some Robux, Roblox’s own currency, and operates on a monthly subscription model. The exact price can vary, so be ready for your wallet—or virtual wallet—to take a small hit. After enabling the Private Servers toggle in the Monetization section of Game Settings, extra options appear that let you set whether access is free or paid.
After buying, you’ll see your server listed in the game’s server tab, making it easy for friends (or foes, if you’re feeling generous) to hop in. Naming your server is a nice touch; who wouldn’t want to join “Epic Gamers Only” or “No Noobs Allowed”? Access control is a major perk here. Owners decide who gets in—friends, specific users, or just themselves. The power trip is real, but it’s also handy for keeping out randoms or pranksters. Custom in-game server lists can even be created by developers to display both public and private servers, adding flexibility for more advanced players and communities.
If privacy is your thing, you can even disable joining entirely. This all helps keep the server calm, secure, and maybe even drama-free. Creators can monetize these servers, too. In the Roblox Creator Hub, developers enable private server sales and set the monthly price, scoring a little Robux for themselves along the way.
Managing the server is straightforward, but there’s some backend work if you want advanced control—like using Roblox’s Messaging Service or TeleportService:ReserveServer, though these are mostly developer tools.
