Best bang for your buck Valheim server hosting. I have rented servers with them on and off for several years. Their customer service is excellent and I've had nothing but great experiences with them. Their pricing is some of the best and I have never had any lag issues.
William, CustomerWonderful customer service! This is not the first server I have rented, I did use a competitor company for a couple of months prior and I was NOT happy with their customer service. So I jumped ship and came to Survival Servers for Valheim, which I am glad to have done. They helped me with everything I needed to get my server running so I could finally play with my buddies once again. They responded so fast, no matter what time of day it was. I could not have asked for a better team to help troubleshoot problems. Awesome team!
Nick, CustomerSurvival Servers is the best Valheim server hosting - easy of use of their control panel and helpful staff helped this beginner very much.
Rigoberto, CustomerBy default, Valheim dedicated servers support up to 10 players. However, you can increase the player limit using mods like MaxPlayerCount or Valheim Plus, which allow you to configure higher player counts for larger communities.
Valheim Plus by nX_ on Nexus Mods is the largest mod for Valheim, making dozens of quality-of-life and building improvements. It includes the ability to modify maximum players on a server, add performance improvements, and provides extensive server management tools for fine-tuning gameplay.
Yes, mods like MaxPlayerCount (default value is 20, double vanilla) and Valheim Plus allow you to increase the player limit. The MaxPlayerCount mod only needs to be installed on the server and can be configured in the BepInEx/config/Azumatt.MaxPlayerCount.cfg file.
Yes, Valheim supports cross-platform play between Steam (PC with full mod support), Windows (Microsoft Store), and Xbox via Game Pass. PC servers are compatible with both Steam and Xbox players, making it easy to play with friends across different platforms.
For basic Valheim setups, 8GB RAM is recommended. For modded servers or high-player count servers, 16GB+ RAM is recommended for optimal performance. The Data Rate Modifier mod can help utilize the full bandwidth of all players.
