All Valheim Plans Include
Play Valheim Multiplayer
Sail, build, and survive in a procedurally generated Norse purgatory. Valheim lets your crew raise longhouses, tame the wilds, hunt down bosses, and push into new biomes together. The frozen Deep North arrives with 1.0.
With ThundraNode Valheim server hosting, your world stays online around the clock. Friends can join anytime from PC or console thanks to crossplay, keep building and exploring, and progress without depending on one player hosting from home.
What Is Valheim Server Hosting?
A Valheim private server is a persistent Viking world running on dedicated hosting hardware instead of one player’s PC. Your server handles the world, player traffic, and mods so your own machine can focus on the game.
Dedicated Valheim hosting keeps your world online 24/7 for up to 10 players. Your crew can build, farm, and explore even when the host is asleep, and nobody has to stay online for the world to exist.
Compared to self-hosting, ThundraNode gives you stronger performance, lower latency, DDoS protection, automatic world backups, crossplay for friends on other platforms, and no port forwarding. Every plan is backed by a 3-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it risk free.

Quick answers before you launch your Valheim multiplayer server.
Will my server be ready for the Valheim 1.0 Deep North update?
Yes. Valheim 1.0 with the Deep North biome releases on September 9, 2026, and your server can be updated to the new version from the control panel. We recommend taking a world backup before updating, which the panel does automatically.
How many players can join a Valheim server?
Valheim dedicated servers support up to 10 players in one world by default. Mods can raise that limit, but 10 players is the standard cap set by the game.
Does Valheim server hosting support mods?
Yes. Valheim supports BepInEx-based mods and server-side mod packs, which you can install through your server’s file access. Mods usually need to be installed by every player as well as on the server.
Can I upload my existing Valheim world?
Yes. You can upload your existing world files (.db and .fwl) through the file manager, so your group can continue an existing save on a dedicated server.
Do I need port forwarding for Valheim hosting?
No. With hosted Valheim servers, players connect through your hosted server without exposing your home network or changing router port forwarding rules.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. Every Valheim plan comes with a 3-day money-back guarantee. Submit a cancellation request and contact support within the eligible period and we will refund you.
Does your Valheim hosting support crossplay?
Yes. Valheim supports crossplay between platforms, and the 1.0 release expands it further across PC, Xbox, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2. Your server runs with crossplay available so friends can play together from different platforms.
Where are your Valheim servers located?
You can choose from datacenters in New York, Montreal, Falkenstein, and Warsaw when you order, so you can host close to your crew for the lowest ping.
