Valheim Dedicated Server on a VPS from €12/mo

Host your own Valheim dedicated server on a VPS: 4 GB of RAM is enough for a world with friends, BepInEx mods, crossplay for Xbox/Game Pass, 8 GB from €12/mo. Step-by-step guide.

What you get

  • 8 GB of RAM from €12/mo — Valheim only asks for 4 GB; the rest is headroom for mods.
  • BepInEx mods — drop plugins into a folder and point the service at the BepInEx start script.
  • Crossplay flag — let Xbox and Game Pass players join your world.
  • Cheap backups — worlds are small, so a nightly archive plus an off-site copy costs almost nothing.
  • Full root access and a dedicated IPv4 — install whatever your community needs.

An honest note about ping

Our servers are in the EU, on the French–German border (Lauterbourg). From Russia and Ukraine expect 40–80 ms — fine for co-op survival. Players in Europe get lower latency.
