Valheim Plus Server Hosting
A Valheim server with the Valheim Plus mod preinstalled on BepInEx. On our test it loaded Valheim Plus 10.4.0.0 and idled at about 1.5 GB with an empty world, so the 4 GB starting size leaves room for a full group. Extra BepInEx mods cost memory, and the calculator adds overhead for them.
- Dedicated Valheim server with Valheim Plus preinstalled
- Edit valheim_plus.cfg in the file manager
- Up to 10 players (game limit)
- Full file + console access
- Backups on a schedule you set
- Switch to vanilla Valheim any time

Getting started
Your first hour on Valheim Plus
1
Connect
Your address and port are on the server page in the panel. Paste the address into Valheim Plus's multiplayer screen; if it asks for a port separately, use the one the panel lists — not one from a forum post.

Add your content
Supported here: Extra BepInEx mods. Upload through the panel's file manager, or over SFTP for anything large, then restart from the console.

Valheim Plus config, versions and extra mods
Valheim Plus is installed when the server is created, from the maintained community build (Grantapher/ValheimPlus). On our test server it loaded as version 10.4.0.0 and reported itself up to date.
All of its settings are in BepInEx/config/valheim_plus.cfg. Stop the server, edit the file in the file manager, then start it again. By default Valheim Plus sends the server's settings to every player who joins, so the group plays by one set of rules.
Every player needs Valheim Plus installed on their own PC, in the same version as the server. After a Valheim patch the mod usually needs its own update before it works again; that is true of Valheim Plus everywhere, not only here.
Other BepInEx mods go in BepInEx/plugins. Server Name, World Name and Server Password are on the panel's Startup tab; your join password is generated per server, so nobody else has it. Crossplay is off by default.
Valheim Plus server hosting FAQ
How much RAM does a Valheim Plus server need?
We start it at 4 GB. An empty world with Valheim Plus loaded idled at about 1.5 GB on our test, and that size covers the first 5 players. Allow about 0.3 GB per extra player, and about 4 GB more if you add other BepInEx mods.
Is Valheim Plus server-side only?
No. By default every player needs Valheim Plus installed too, in the same version as the server.
Where is the Valheim Plus config?
In BepInEx/config/valheim_plus.cfg. Edit it in the file manager while the server is stopped, then start the server.
How do I update Valheim Plus?
The server installs the latest release when it is created. To move to a newer one, reinstall the server from the panel. Download a copy of valheim_plus.cfg first, because a reinstall can replace it.
Can I add other mods?
Yes. Put any BepInEx mod built for your Valheim version in BepInEx/plugins and restart. A full 10-player world with mods needs about 9.5 GB, so the 10 GB plan at $29.99 a month.
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 much does a Valheim Plus 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.
Not sure about the size?
The calculator above is sized from our boot tests and published host sizing — 4 GB to start 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.
