V Rising Server Hosting: dedicated server from $6.92/mo

The best V Rising server hosting runs Stunlock's official dedicated server, leaves you in control of ServerGameSettings.json, opens SFTP access to your files, makes backups and lets you change plan without losing anything. It sells memory rather than slots, since your players' castles live on the server too. Our four V Rising hosting plans tick all of that, from $6.92 to $23.17 per month, with support that answers 24/7.

With a host like OuiHeberg, choose a plan and a country, then pay. Stunlock's official dedicated server is installed for you, in its PC version. Set the rules of your world in ServerGameSettings.json, start the server from OuiPanel, then launch V Rising to join it. The first start happens on its own, with nothing for you to set.Read the setup guide →

The official dedicated server installs on its own after payment. It is online a few minutes after it is created.

Yes, and a V Rising private server keeps the world open even when nobody is online. Each player needs V Rising on Steam, on PC. The official server accepts a password, to keep the world for your group.

Yes. Stunlock runs official servers in PvE and PvP, with its own rules, raid hours and wipes. A private server lets you choose the rules, the pace and the players. Stunlock says so itself, more specific wishes are better served by a private server.

The settings file shipped with the server is set to 40 players, and Stunlock puts the technical limit at 128. Its official servers are set to 60. Our plans don't sell slots. You choose the memory, and the number of players stays a server setting. The more players and castles, the more memory you need. With us, the number of players is set in the Maximum players variable in OuiPanel, 40 on delivery.

Stunlock publishes no figure for the dedicated server. The 12 GB you sometimes read about is what the game asks of a player's PC. The server's memory depends on the number of connected players and on what they build, castles and servants included. Our plans go from 8 to 24 GB. Start with the one that suits you and move up a plan when needed, without losing data.

Through the GameModeType key in ServerGameSettings.json, set to PvP or PvE. The same file sets castle raids (CastleDamageMode and its hours), clan size, difficulty and resource rates. Stunlock also ships the server with ready-made presets, for PvP, PvE, duos or hardcore. With us, the preset is chosen in the Game settings preset variable in OuiPanel. It takes priority over your own ServerGameSettings.json file and also applies to a world already under way, at the next start. Without a preset, the server follows that file, and failing that it plays PvP.Read the server settings guide →

With one of Stunlock's three difficulty presets, Difficulty_Easy, Difficulty_Normal and Difficulty_Brutal. The difficulty is also written in ServerGameSettings.json, under the GameDifficulty key. According to Stunlock, Brutal is meant for players who already know the game well. With us, it is chosen in OuiPanel, in the difficulty variable, and adds to the game settings preset at the next start.Read the server settings guide →

The server name, password, number of players, game settings preset, difficulty, save name and automatic updates are set in OuiPanel, Configuration › Server settings › Environment variables, with the Server name, Server password, Maximum players, Game settings preset, Save name and Automatic update variables, plus one for the difficulty. They apply at the next start, and OuiPanel rewrites them into ServerHostSettings.json at every start. So change them in the variables, not in the file. The rules of your world, PvP or PvE, raids, clans and resource rates, are in ServerGameSettings.json, which opens in the OuiPanel file manager or over SFTP. On our servers, your settings files are in the save-data/Settings folder, and your worlds in save-data/Saves/v4.Read the SFTP guide →

It updates at startup. As long as the Automatic update variable is on, which is the default, the server checks the game version at every start and installs the latest one. After a Stunlock patch, restart the server right after an automatic save. This matters, because an up-to-date player cannot join a server that is behind.

According to Stunlock, add your SteamID64 to the adminlist.txt file in the server's settings folder, one per line. No restart needed. In game, enable the console in the options, open it with the ~ key, then type adminauth. On our servers, adminlist.txt is in the save-data/Settings folder. The game creates it, empty, at the first start.Read the console commands guide →

They are typed in the game's console, after adminauth. Stunlock lists kick to remove a player, banuser and bancharacter to ban an account or a character, banned to see who is banned and unban to lift a ban. The list command shows all the others. The OuiPanel console, for its part, shows the server log.Read the console commands guide →

No. Our servers run the PC version of the dedicated server, and V Rising has no crossplay between PC and PS5. A PS5 player therefore cannot join a PC server. The game is not on Xbox. All your players need V Rising on PC, on Steam.

Not for now. Stunlock has no official modding tool and has said it won't release one. We don't offer mods on our servers at the moment, and we would rather tell you before you order. Your server runs the game as Stunlock releases it.

V Rising lets you host a private game from your own PC, and Stunlock's server tool is free. But the world is only open while that machine stays on, and you have to open its ports. A host does it for you, on a machine online day and night, with anti-DDoS and backups. With us, the entry plan is $6.92 per month.

According to Stunlock, one UDP port for the game and one UDP query port, used by the server list. With us, both ports are reserved when the server is created. You have nothing to set.

OuiPanel makes backups of your server, on demand or scheduled, every night for example. Start keeps 2, Plus 3, Pro 10 and Ultra 20. Stunlock advises backing up often, and before every game update. A backup is restored from the OuiPanel Backups tab and puts the server back the way it was. The game itself saves the world every 10 minutes by default, an interval set in the Autosave interval variable. Stopping or restarting from OuiPanel does not save the world: whatever happened since the last automatic save is lost. Wait for it before stopping the server. A shorter interval limits that loss.

Yes. Every server is protected by our network's anti-DDoS, up to 3 Tbps, at no extra cost.

In Marseille, Frankfurt, New York, Beauharnois in Canada and Sydney in Australia. Start, Plus and Pro are available everywhere, Ultra everywhere except Australia, at the same price. Choose the country closest to your players.

Yes. Moving up a plan resizes your server without reinstalling or losing data, in the same country. Useful when your community grows or the castles multiply.

Yes. We also host Valheim, Sons of the Forest and Enshrouded servers.See Valheim servers →
