Why Terraria hosting at HostValues?
NVMe storage

Full control
Manage your server settings, mods and worlds through the game panel or via SFTP.

DDoS protection: Cloudflare Magic Transit in the US and on our premium nodes in the Netherlands, OVH Anti-DDoS at our OVH locations. Your game server stays online 24/7.
How to host a dedicated Terraria server at HostValues
No port forwarding and no PC that has to stay on: your Terraria server runs in a data centre and you manage it in your browser, in the game panel. It takes four steps.
Choose a plan
Pick the plan that fits your group. The RAM advice on this page shows how much memory you need for how many players. At checkout you can add extra RAM or storage.
Choose a location
At checkout you choose Europe (Netherlands / France), the United States (San Jose), Canada (Montreal) or Singapore. Choose the location closest to most of your players. In Europe and the US your server runs on an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X or 9950X; in Canada and Singapore we use different hardware.
Pay
Pay per month, or per year with 15% off. Prices include VAT and you can cancel monthly. After payment your server is set up automatically.
Start your server in the game panel
On first start your server installs tModLoader and creates the world. Under Startup you set the world name, world size, difficulty and a server password. Your friends start tModLoader (free on Steam for everyone who owns Terraria), choose Multiplayer, Join via IP and enter the IP address and port from the panel.
How much RAM do you need?
| Players | Plan | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 4, few or no mods | Copper, 2 GB | €2.80 |
| Up to 8, a few mods | Silver, 4 GB | €5.60 |
| Up to 8, big mods such as Calamity | Gold, 8 GB | €11.20 |
| Up to 8, large modpacks | Platinum, 12 GB | €16.80 |
Your server has 8 player slots by default (Max Players under Startup). Mods weigh more than players: for big content mods, choose at least Gold.
Frequently asked questions
How many players can join my Terraria server?
Your server has 8 player slots, the default of a tModLoader server; you see this as Max Players under Startup in the game panel. Every plan handles that. Mods use more memory than players, so choose your plan based on the mods you want to run.
Does my server support tModLoader?
Yes, your server runs tModLoader as standard. You add mods via the file manager or SFTP. Big mods such as Calamity use extra memory, and your players join through tModLoader as well.
How much RAM does my Terraria server need?
Terraria is lightweight compared to most games. 2 GB is enough for a small group. If you play with mods or larger groups, 4 GB gives you plenty of headroom. Heavy modpacks with many players benefit from 8 GB.
Can I upload my existing world?
Yes, you can upload your existing world file via SFTP. That way you continue right where you left off. Make a backup on both sides first.
Are backups made of my world?
Yes, automatic backups are enabled by default and you can restore one yourself through the game panel. If you want to go further back, you can add extra backup slots.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes, you can upgrade to a larger plan at any time through the client area. Your world and settings are kept intact.
How do I host a dedicated Terraria server?
Choose a plan and a location and pay; your server is then set up automatically. On first start it installs tModLoader and creates your world: under Startup you set the world name, size, difficulty and password. Your friends start tModLoader, choose Multiplayer, Join via IP and enter the IP address and port from the panel.
Can players with the normal version of Terraria join?
No. Our Terraria servers run tModLoader, so everyone joins through tModLoader. It is free on Steam for everyone who owns Terraria on PC. Players on console or mobile cannot join.
Does my server run Terraria 1.4.5?
Not yet. As of 7 October 2026 the stable version of tModLoader is based on Terraria 1.4.4, and the tModLoader team is still working on support for 1.4.5. Your players join with the current stable tModLoader.
Which port does my Terraria server use?
Terraria uses port 7777 by default. At HostValues your server gets its own port, shown next to the IP address in the game panel; your players enter both. You do not need to forward any ports yourself.
