HOW TO BUY
Buy a Valheim Server: Steps to Start Your Valheim Server
To start your own Valheim server you need a machine with resources reserved for you that runs the game's server software around the clock. When you buy a Valheim server from Phoenix Sunucum you receive a DDoS-protected Ryzen VDS with full root access, and you carry out the Valheim server setup on it yourself.
How to Buy a Valheim Server
- Pick the plan that fits your player count and mod load from the Valheim server plans.
- Complete your order in the client panel; your server details appear in your panel.
- Connect to your server with the access details sent to you.
- Follow the steps in the Valheim server setup guide and open your server to players.
Are Valheim Server Rental, Valheim VDS and Valheim Hosting the Same?
Yes. “Valheim server rental”, “Valheim server hosting”, “Valheim hosting” and “Valheim VDS” all describe the same need: a machine with resources reserved for you that keeps a Valheim server online without interruption. Our service is not a shared game panel but a VDS you fully control, so there are no limits on mods, plugins or settings.
When you buy a Valheim server the price is set by the processor, RAM and disk you choose; current Valheim server prices are listed in the plans section.
TECHNICAL GUIDE
Valheim Server Setup Guide: How to Start a Valheim Server
A Valheim server runs on Windows or Linux with the free Valheim Dedicated Server tool on Steam (App ID 896660). The information below summarises the basic settings you will need when setting up the server yourself on your VDS with full root access.
Valheim Server Ports
| Port | Protocol | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| 2456 | UDP | Game connection (default) |
| 2457 | UDP | Steam query port (game port + 1) |
Suggested Resources to Start
| Usage | Processor | RAM |
|---|---|---|
| 2–5 players | 2 vCPU | 4 GB |
| 6–10 players | 4 vCPU | 8 GB |
| Modded / large bases | 4+ vCPU | 8–16 GB |
How to Set Up a Valheim Server: Steps
- Download the server files with SteamCMD using the
app_update 896660command. - Set the
-name,-port 2456,-worldand-passwordparameters in the start script (the password must be at least 5 characters and must not contain the server name). - Add the
-crossplayparameter so that Xbox and Game Pass players can connect. - Open UDP ports 2456–2457 in the firewall and start the server.
Configuration and Mod Notes
- World files (
.dband.fwl) are kept in theworlds_localfolder; you can set the automatic backup frequency with the-saveintervaland-backupsparameters. - If you plan to use mods, BepInEx (BepInExPack Valheim) is installed on the server; most mods must also be installed on the player side in the same version.
- A Valheim server supports 10 players by default; in large bases, performance is determined mostly by single-core speed.
We do not install the game; this guide is written so you can do the installation yourself on your server with full root access. The resource suggestions are starting values and vary with your mod and player counts. For the infrastructure that protects your server against attacks, see our game DDoS protection page.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Valheim Server Hosting
With full root access, install your Valheim Dedicated Server yourself together with mod managers such as BepInEx. An uninterrupted, DDoS-protected VDS infrastructure with fast NVMe storage that helps prevent desync problems while you play crossplay (Xbox/PC) with your friends.
After your order, the automation system activates your VDS server within seconds.
Yes. With full root/administrator access, installation and management are entirely in your hands.
Yes. The plans include DDoS protection, and network traffic is filtered against attacks.
Yes. When you start the server with the
-crossplay parameter, platforms other than Steam can connect too. In this mode players can also join with the join code the game provides instead of an IP address.Mods run on BepInEx. Extract the BepInEx pack into the server folder and put the mod files in the
BepInEx/plugins directory. Most mods must also be installed on players' computers in the same version; mods that run only on the server side are a minority.The world on your computer consists of two files:
.db and .fwl. Copy both into the server's worlds_local folder and enter the file name as the -world value on the launch line.The Valheim server password must be at least 5 characters and must not contain the server name or the world name. With a password that breaks this rule, the server shuts down before starting.
To start a Valheim server, first rent a Valheim VDS, then connect to it, install the game's server files, open the required ports and launch the server. The step-by-step version is in the Valheim server setup guide on this page. We do not install the game; you do the setup yourself on your server with full root access.
The cost is the monthly price of the Valheim server plan you choose. The price depends on the processor, RAM and disk; entry plans suit small communities and higher plans suit busy servers. Current Valheim server prices are in the plans section.
No, they are the same service. Valheim server rental, Valheim server hosting and buying a Valheim VDS all mean the virtual server with resources reserved for you on which you run your Valheim server around the clock.
