Valheim serversYour Valheim world, up around the clock

The host no longer has to be online for everyone else to play. The world waits for you, with its backups and its own address.

Valheim plans

€2 per GB of RAM, with no setup fee and no contract. The slots you see are real: when they run out we close, instead of cramming more in.

Not sure which one? Two questions

How many of you will play at once?

Any mods?

Fast-core processors, which is what games notice most: Intel Xeon E-2274G (up to 4.9 GHz) or AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (up to 4.8 GHz), depending on the machine. The vCPU is the most your server can use (1 vCPU = one processor thread); the RAM, on top of that, is yours alone.

Before you pay

  • Valheim on PC (Steam). Every player needs their own copy.
  • The game allows 10 players at once: that is why we don't sell bigger plans.
  • The join password is generated automatically and saved in the contrasena-napnodes.txt file, under Files in the panel. You can change it whenever you like.
  • Thunderstore mods in one click from the panel (the «Mods» button). Every player needs the same mods on their PC: we give you a code to import them into r2modman.
  • Players join through Join Game → Join IP, or with the friend code.
  • The control panel, our emails, invoices and support are in English too: you choose the language in “My account”.

Valheim questions

Is there a free server?

Yes: a free 4 GB Valheim server, no card and no end date, whenever there's room to spare. It uses the room nobody has paid for: you start it from the panel (if there's no room, you join the queue) and it switches itself off when nobody is on; if nobody plays for 14 days, it's deleted. If you want it always on with no queues, you move to a plan and it stays the same server.

How much RAM does a Valheim server need?

For the 10 players the game allows, 4 GB works well. With mods or a heavily explored world, 6 GB. More than that isn't used, which is why we don't sell bigger plans.

Does the host need to be online?

No. The server is always on: every Viking joins whenever they like and the world is still there.

Does crossplay work (Xbox and Microsoft Store)?

Yes, it's switched on: you can join by IP or with the friend code the game gives you.

Can I add mods (Valheim Plus, Jötunn…)?

Yes. The panel's «Mods» button searches Thunderstore and installs the mod with its dependencies and BepInEx. Your players import the same mods into r2modman with a code.

Can I upload my world?

Yes: you upload the world folder, zipped, from Files (for worlds from before 1.0, the .db and the .fwl). And the server keeps 2 backups you make yourself, plus an automatic daily one.
