Windrose Server Hosting

Technically Windrose supports 16+ players per server. Actual capacity depends on your hardware tier. An 8 GB Dinghy comfortably hosts 2-4 players, a 16 GB Brig covers 4-8, and the 32 GB Man o' War handles 16+. We impose no artificial slot limits.

Whenever your crew doesn't sail every single day. As long as you stay below roughly 18 hours a day on average (which is essentially always), you come out cheaper than on flat-rate plans. Typical weekend crews with 2-3 sessions per week save 80-90% versus classic 24/7 always-on tariffs.

Nothing. The entire world, all ships, settlements, recruited NPCs, discovered dungeons and boss progress sit on persistent NVMe storage. Next startup brings everything back in under 90 seconds, exactly as you left it. No peer-to-peer dependency, no host-player requirement.

For 2-4 players with one base, 8 GB is enough. For a full crew of 4-8 players with several ships and NPC settlements, we recommend 16 GB (our default suggestion). For 8-16 player alliances with multiple fortresses and parallel boss dungeons, 24 GB is the right call. For 16+ player communities, 32 GB is the fit.

Yes, one click in the control panel. Bump the RAM, quick restart, back to sailing. No new world slot, no migration, no lost progress. Upgrading from Dinghy to Man o' War takes about a minute.

Yes. Windrose launched on April 14, 2026 in Early Access on Steam, and RespawnHost supported it from day one. We track every Early Access update and patch by Kraken Express and Pocketpair Publishing from the moment they ship.

As soon as Kraken Express enables official mod support or Steam Workshop for Windrose, we unlock it in the panel. Meanwhile you can already edit configs, savegames and server files via full SFTP access.

After ordering you get full admin access via our control panel – start, stop, edit configs, view logs, manage backups. For in-game admin rights you add your Steam ID to the admin list in the server files via SFTP.

Yes, you can set a server password via config files or through our panel. Only players with the password can join – perfect for private crew servers, clan matches or closed roleplay communities.

Our system checks for new Windrose versions on every server start. A simple restart brings the game to the latest patch. This covers every Early Access update from Kraken Express.

We run servers in Frankfurt (Germany) for DE/EU and at US locations for North America. During checkout you pick the site with the lowest ping for your crew. Both regions run on AMD Ryzen 9 5950X hardware.

Yes, every Windrose server ships with permanent gaming-grade DDoS protection on network and application layer. Malicious traffic is filtered before it reaches your server. No surcharge, no opt-in.

You can, but you don't have to. An optional auto-stop rule shuts the server down after a defined idle window with no connected players. The harbour falls asleep on its own if a session gets cancelled last minute.

You can set up manual or scheduled automatic backups through the panel. We recommend daily auto-backups plus extra manual backups before major patches or planned world resets. Restoring a backup is a one-click operation.

Yes. Upload your existing Windrose save via SFTP to your RespawnHost server and restart – the world picks up from every existing progress marker. Our support team helps with the migration if anything is unclear.

Developer is Kraken Express. Publishers are Kraken Express and Pocketpair Publishing (Japan) – the publisher behind Palworld. Windrose launched on April 14, 2026 in Early Access on Steam and combines classic build-craft-survive gameplay with intense naval battles, boarding fights and 100+ handcrafted dungeons.

Yes. Unlike peer-to-peer host worlds, a dedicated RespawnHost server runs independently of any single player's machine. Even with nobody online, the world stays saved. The only interruption is when you stop the server for cost reasons – next start brings it back exactly as left.

No. Pay-per-Use means no minimum term, no notice period, no setup fee. Top up credit, start the server, play. Stop sailing for weeks and the credit just sits there. Don't need the server any more? Delete it in the panel.
