Introducing Nodecraft Lite - Budget Server Hosting
Our new product, Nodecraft Lite, offers the same high-quality server hosting experience at lower costs.
Unlike Nodecraft Pro game servers that run 24/7, Nodecraft Lite Servers are only online when players actively use them.
Server owners are given a password-protected Wake & Play Share Link to share with anyone to wake the server from hibernation.
For a full list of feature differences between our Pro and Lite packages, check out the chart above labeled "Budget or Premium?".

SAVE & SWAP TO ANY OTHER GAME, FOR NO ADDITIONAL COST.Create a Terraria server anywhere.
Terraria server hosting can be as flexible as the game itself. Pick either edition and swap them out at any time with no extra fees, and experience Terraria multiplayer the way you want to play it.
Low Latency (No Lag) Terraria Servers with DDoS Protection
We're gamers too, and we know that nothing is more frustrating on a multiplayer server than lag and crashes.
Unlike other Terraria server hosting providers, we make sure not to overburden our game servers— this means we average only 12 customers per device. This allows your instance to access more CPU cores, disk IOs, and RAM. More power per user means you will have protection against the common multiplayer headaches of lag and crashes while you're busy in Terraria, smashing slimes or whatever it is you like to do in there. 👾
- 3.8+ GHz Processor (CPU)
Our Terraria servers primarily use an Intel® Xeon® E-2174G or equivalent.
- 64GB ECC RAM
Error correcting and highly clocked, this RAM is deployed for high speed performance and stability on your Terraria server.
- Enterprise Grade Solid State Drives (SSD)
We use Enterprise SSDs to power all customer Terraria servers.
- Enterprise Grade Hard Disk
We host our game servers on the SSD, but backups, the OS, and other files not required by your Terraria server are run on standard disks.
- DDoS Protection and High Performance Network
DDoS attacks are a constant threat to game hosting, whether it's a Terraria server or any other game you want to play. Our network is built for network attack resilience.
- Linux OS
We've built our entire infrastructure on top of a Linux ecosystem to focus on the performance, security, and stability of your Terraria server.
Get the best Terraria server hosting & just add friends!
Nodecraft gives you affordable access to the best hosting service for your Terraria server. Our custom Nodecraft server control panel gives you full control and makes it easy to get started. You can save and swap from a Terraria server to host any of our supported games (vanilla and modded) without confusing port forwarding or IP address problems so common to game hosting. We remove the barriers and take you straight to fast, reliable multiplayer gaming on premier servers.
   
One Click Install: tModLoader, tShock & more onto your Terraria server
With our One Click Installer, adding mods and plugins to your Terraria server doesn't get any easier. Just install tModLoader or tShock with Nodecraft Pro, upload and configure the mods or plugins you want to use, and get into multiplayer Terraria right away!
Customer Terraria Server Reviews:
Still on the fence for your Terraria server host? Here's some nice stuff people have said about us.
"Great!
Good library of games, very helpful and easy to follow guides on getting set up, transferring existing worlds to the server, etc. Nice dashboard, - love the automation actions like scheduling backups and server shut down/start up. Performance wise great as well - you get what you pay for and it all just kinda works. Been very pleased; I hosted a Terraria server, and when my friends and I beat it, we moved on to Valheim. Experience between both was the same: stable server, easy to maintain and automate, zero connection or gameplay issues. I've never had to contact support so far for any issue.."
"Nodecraft Tech support won me over!
I honestly wanted to go with a different hosting company I had used in the past but a friend convinced me to try out Nodecraft for a Terraria server we were setting up. Although we did run into a small error, tech support was the fastest I've seen to correct the issue and worked with me the whole time with almost no time in between messages. Definitely a great company with people that really want to help."
"Honestly, this service is amazing.
Being able to easily navigate a dedicated terraria server WITH MODS is an absolute dream come true and I can't thank you guys enough for providing such a fantastic service.
I've been able to enjoy my Christmas with friends without having to worry about hosting issues."
"100% RecommendGot a server for me and my friends on Terraria, the process couldn't have been easier uploading my world and getting everything booted up. We haven't once had any issue with the server and its really been a great value. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for similar solution."

Terraria
Terraria is a sandbox survival adventure game with 2D side-scrolling graphics. Players dig, fight, explore, and build in a huge, randomly generated open-world.
In Terraria, players decide how they want to play. You start off with three basic tools and fight enemies or gather resoures to progress. You can build structures and even attract NPCs to them by completing goals.
Terraria also has an expert mode that makes the game more challenging for veteran players. It doubles the health and attack of monsters, gives bosses new abilities, and more. With your Terraria server hosting plan, you choose the difficulty!

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?
You can automatically upgrade or downgrade your Nodecraft Pro Server plan at any time via the billing dashboard, which you will have access to as soon as you log in.
While in Open Beta, if you want to change between Nodecraft Pro and Nodecraft Lite, you will have to cancel your current subscription and create a subscription with the other product.
You can learn more about the process in this article. -

Do you provide dedicated IPs for Terraria Servers?
Nodecraft offers two products: Nodecraft Pro and Nodecraft Lite. Nodecraft Pro servers are issued a dedicated IP address that will only be used by one customer at a time and will only change if the server is archived, the service is ended, or in the rare case that a server requires changing nodes.
We also provide a DNS Hostname for all server subscriptions in Nodecraft Pro and Nodecraft Lite, which can be used interchangeably in most games. -
What is an instance?
Nodecraft allows users to save and swap between games and modpacks by utilizing the server instances available to each plan. These instances can be thought of like save slots that are able to hold a game server's files in a saved state for you to pop back into your server to play later.
You can learn more about that in this article. -

Nodecraft does not limit player slots on your server, so you can have as many player slots as the game allows!
