Valheim Server Hosting

Yes, absolutely! Our servers support Crossplay by default. You can activate 'Crossplay' mode in the startup settings so that players from Steam, PC Game Pass, and Xbox consoles can play together on the server.

Yes, Valheim Plus is one of the most popular mods and is fully supported by us. You can easily install BepInEx and Valheim Plus on your server and adjust the configuration via the file manager.

You can easily upload your local world (.db and .fwl files) via SFTP to the server. Place them in the 'savedata/worlds_local' folder and adjust the world name in the startup settings. Then you can continue playing online.

Valheim is designed for 10 players simultaneously. With mods like Valheim Plus, this limit can be increased, but for the best performance and stability, we recommend sticking to 10 players.

To become Admin, you must enter your Steam ID (or Xbox ID) in the 'adminlist.txt' file. You can find this in the file manager. After a server restart, you have access to console commands like Kick, Ban, and Save.

Yes, Valheim enforces a server password. The password must be at least 5 characters long. You can change it in the startup settings of our panel at any time.

Since the Hildir update, there are World Modifiers (e.g., resource rate, raid frequency, portal rules). You can change these settings either via chat command as Admin or adjust the server startup parameters accordingly.

For a normal world with 2-5 players, 4 GB RAM is usually enough. However, if you build huge bases or terraform a lot, the RAM requirement increases. Then we recommend 8 GB RAM or more to avoid lags.

Yes, thanks to BepInEx support, you can use almost all client and server-side mods. Simply upload the mods to the 'plugins' folder. Note that with Crossplay servers, mods are often restricted or all players need the same mods.

That's up to you. With our Pay-Per-Use model, you can let the server run whenever you want. If it should run 24/7, that's no problem. If you turn it off at night, you save money.

The server saves world progress automatically every 20-30 minutes by default. As Admin, you can force a manual save at any time with the command 'save' in the console.

When Iron Gate releases an update, you can simply restart your server. Our system checks for updates at startup and installs the latest version automatically.

Yes, our servers always support the latest version of Valheim, including all new biomes like Ashlands as soon as they are released. For old worlds, there are often tools to generate new biomes.

We have servers in Germany and in USA (Salt Lake City).

Customers can set up manual or automatic backups for a minimal fee.

Yes, you can choose in the settings whether your server should appear in the public server list (Community Server) or not. Note that it can sometimes take a short while until it appears there.

This usually means that server and client do not have the same version. Make sure your game is up to date on Steam/Xbox and restart the server to pull the latest update.

Yes, you have full access via SFTP. This is ideal for uploading large worlds, downloading backups, or installing many mods at once.

Yes, BepInEx is the framework for most Valheim mods. It is pre-installed on our servers or can be activated with one click.

Anytime. If your world grows and RAM becomes scarce, you can switch to a larger package with a few clicks. Your world and data remain intact.
