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?".

See why customers say we are the best in Valheim hosting provider!
"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."
"Out of the many hosting sites I tried using for a brand new game. This place had it all the first time. Easy, quick, and efficient! Not to mention top notch customer support who are able to help at a moments notice. Never have I had such an easy time uploading worlds and getting my friends on the server with ZERO hassle! Great service!"
"A reasonably priced server with good performance, and easy accesibility through both website and app for iPhone. Been on a subscription for about a week, and have already put lots of hours into my Valheim-server with my friend. 10/10 would recommend, if you’re in the market for a 24/7 server for you and your friends."
"Valheim server was up quickly! No problems running, clean and easy UI, and updating the server has been smooth. Great service."

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.
