Valheim Modded Server Hosting
The same Valheim server with the BepInEx mod loader in place, so server-side mods load from the start. Mods cost memory before the first player joins, so the calculator adds overhead for them.
- Dedicated Valheim server with BepInEx
- Mod loader installed and ready
- Full file + console access
- Backups on a schedule you set
- Switch to vanilla Valheim any time

Getting started
Your first hour on Valheim (BepInEx)
1
Connect
Your address and port are on the server page in the panel. Paste the address into Valheim (BepInEx)'s multiplayer screen; if it asks for a port separately, use the one the panel lists — not one from a forum post.
2
Add your content
Supported here: BepInEx mods. Upload through the panel's file manager, or over SFTP for anything large, then restart from the console.

Valheim (BepInEx) server requirements: RAM and players
Valheim (BepInEx) needs 4 GB before anyone connects. These are the plans our calculator picks for a few common group sizes, using the same numbers as the calculator above.
| Players online | RAM needed | Plan | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 4.0 GB | 4 GB | $11.99/mo |
| 10 + mods | 9.5 GB | 10 GB | $29.99/mo |
| 20 + mods | 12.5 GB | 14 GB | $41.99/mo |
BepInEx mods, crossplay and worlds
BepInEx is already installed. Put mods in BepInEx/plugins over SFTP or with the file manager and restart. Most Valheim mods also have to be installed by each player; the panel's Startup tab has a ModPack field for a pack you host yourself.
Crossplay is off by default on the modded server, because mods and crossplay often conflict. Turn Enable Crossplay on in the Startup tab if your mod set supports it.
World Name and Server Password are on the same tab. Your join password is generated per server, so nobody else has it.
Valheim (BepInEx) server hosting FAQ
How much RAM does a modded Valheim server need?
The same 4 GB a vanilla Valheim server needs, plus about 4 GB for the mod set before anyone connects. Allow about 0.3 GB per extra player. Sixteen players with mods comes to about 11.3 GB, so the 12 GB plan.
Which mods can I install?
Any mod built for BepInEx on the Valheim version you run. Put them in BepInEx/plugins and restart.
Does crossplay work with mods?
It can, but it is off by default here because many mods break it. Turn on Enable Crossplay on the Startup tab if your mod set supports it.
Can I upload my existing world?
Yes. Stop the server, upload the world's .fwl and .db files over SFTP, and set World Name on the Startup tab to match.
Can I go back to vanilla Valheim?
Yes. Switch the server to plain Valheim from the panel; your world files stay in place.
How many players can join?
Up to 10, which is Valheim's own limit. A full 64-player world needs about 21.7 GB, so the 22 GB plan at $65.99 a month.
How much does a modded Valheim server cost?
From $11.99 a month for 4 GB. Each extra gigabyte adds $3. Terms of 3, 6 and 12 months are 10%, 15% and 20% off, with no setup fee.
Do my players need the same mods?
Yes for most mods. Send your players the mod list, or publish a modpack and point them at it.
Not sure about the size?
The calculator above is sized from our boot tests and published host sizing — 4 GB to boot with the first 5 players included, then about 0.3 GB per extra player, plus 4 GB when mods are on. If you'd rather compare every plan side by side, they're on the pricing page.
