Terraria hosting.

You set the player limit in your own config rather than buying a slot count, and a .wld world you have already played uploads over SFTP. You can pin a version, but a pinned server and an auto-updating Steam client drift apart, so it is a thing to watch rather than a safety net.

Where it runs

Every game server we run lives in Dallas, roughly central to North America, which keeps the delay between a click and what happens in game about even for players on either coast.

What is Terraria server hosting?

Terraria is the 2D sandbox where you dig, build and take on bosses with friends. A Terraria server keeps that world running all the time, so nobody has to be the host. Whoever logs in first, the progress is right where you left it.

Vanilla Terraria is light work. Eight players fighting the Moon Lord on a Calamity-sized modpack is not, which is why the plans run on AMD Ryzen 9 9950X machines, the sort of fast processor Terraria likes.

Mods are managed through tModLoader itself rather than from our panel, so the mod list works the way it would on a machine of your own, and backups run on a schedule. Bring your existing .wld world file and carry on from where you were.

Why choose our Terraria hosting?

Vanilla or tModLoader, chosen when the server is built, and the world is yours to shape from there.

The world files stay yours, so you can upload, download and back them up whenever you like, and an existing .wld carries straight over.

You keep full control of the co-op world, at a price that splits well between friends, with support that answers quickly.

Protection from attacks

Rival servers sometimes get flooded with junk traffic to knock them offline. Cloudflare Magic Transit and CosmicGuard filter that out before it reaches you, and hardware filtering catches the sneakier attacks that pretend to be real players.

Real people, day and night

Tickets and Discord are answered around the clock by people who run game servers themselves. No scripts to read from, no waiting for office hours.

Backups you can roll back to

Your Terraria server saves a copy of itself on a schedule, so a griefed world or a bad update is a restore rather than a disaster. Putting one back takes a couple of clicks in the panel, and you can download the files yourself any time with an SFTP app.

Questions

Terraria hosting, answered.

Vanilla Terraria is light. 2 GB handles a co-op world for a group of friends, and 4 GB covers a large world with a full server. Mods change that: tModLoader is its own plan starting at 4 GB, with 6 and 8 GB for big packs like Calamity played by a group.
Yes, as its own server type. Mods are managed through tModLoader itself or uploaded over SFTP rather than installed from our panel, which has no Terraria mod browser. A modded world will not open on a vanilla server, so decide which one you are running before you start building.
Yes. Upload your .wld file into the worlds folder over SFTP, select it in the server configuration, and restart. If the world came from a modded save, install the same mod set first so it loads correctly.
You set the player limit in your server config rather than buying a slot count. A vanilla world handles a normal friend group comfortably; a heavy modpack gets demanding quickly, so a larger group on a big pack wants one of the higher RAM tiers. Mod weight affects this far more than player numbers do.
Yes, the server version is something you set. Be careful with it: Steam updates players' clients on its own, and Terraria refuses connections between mismatched versions, so a server pinned behind the current release can become one nobody can join. Pin deliberately, and move forward when your mods are ready.
Yes, on every plan at no extra cost. Game servers in Dallas sit behind Cloudflare Magic Transit and CosmicGuard, so floods of junk traffic are thrown away before they reach the machine, and so are the subtler attacks that imitate real players. It is always on - there is nothing to switch on and no add-on to buy.
