Renting Server - Help on Best Suppliers please

[Crellin]

Hi guys i want to rent a server for my friends to play on, does anyone know who is the best server provider for Valheim please?

I use gPortal for 2 years and I’m happy with it.

I suggest to go to YT and check videos from popular Valheim content creators (Jiroc, JP Valheim, Kysen…). They are using good and reliable servers for their communities.

Server hosting sites are often their sponsors and you can save some money if you register through their link in video description.

People are going to provide very subjective answers based on their feelings regarding this.

Where you are located in relation to your server hosting, the services provided(lots of support/hand holding, lite, or none, pricing, and more all have merit to consider.

So I simply recommend for you to start with what services are provided close to you(to minimize latency) and then go from there regarding the priorities of your wants otherwise.

This is a very good answer.
Everything he said + don't sign a y long term deal. Try it for a week or two and then decide if the lag/latency etc. is right for you.

I have rented a server several times in the past, as well as run a local dedicated server on my gaming PC. It can handle a few players, plus I have an easier time updating the game/mods when needed.

When I rented a server, I used a local server to test both current and new mods. Each has their strengths and weaknesses.

Gportal works fine.
You might encounter network and sync issues in ashlands regardless of the provider though.
You might need to install a network patch before going there, because it is borderline unplayable with vanilla in mp.
