See why customers say we are the best in Valheim server host!
"Great! Good library of games, very helpful and easy to follow guides on getting set up, transferring existing worlds to the server, etc. Nice dashboard, - love the automation actions like scheduling backups and server shut down/start up. Performance wise great as well - you get what you pay for and it all just kinda works. Been very pleased; I hosted a Terraria server, and when my friends and I beat it, we moved on to Valheim. Experience between both was the same: stable server, easy to maintain and automate, zero connection or gameplay issues. I've never had to contact support so far for any issue."
"Out of the many hosting sites I tried using for a brand new game. This place had it all the first time. Easy, quick, and efficient! Not to mention top notch customer support who are able to help at a moments notice. Never have I had such an easy time uploading worlds and getting my friends on the server with ZERO hassle! Great service!"
"A reasonably priced server with good performance, and easy accesibility through both website and app for iPhone. Been on a subscription for about a week, and have already put lots of hours into my Valheim-server with my friend. 10/10 would recommend, if you’re in the market for a 24/7 server for you and your friends."
