Common questions about Valheim hosting
What happens after I pay for a Valheim server?
Payment happens on our secure billing site. Your server is set up automatically after payment and your panel login is emailed to you.
Where are ForgeWorld Gaming Valheim servers hosted?
In Iowa, United States. One region for now, and we say so instead of drawing a map full of flags.
Is there a setup fee or a contract?
No setup fee, and you can cancel any time. Prices are in Canadian dollars; paying from the US, your card or payment account converts the charge to US dollars. On the billing site you see the monthly price of the plan you picked before any payment is taken.
How many players can a Valheim server hold?
Valheim Standard plans are open for orders with 3, 5 or 10 player slots, at CA$15.99–CA$23.49 a month. If you need a different size, email support@fwg.world (no account needed; account holders can also open a ticket) and we confirm what is possible by email.
Can I run mods or a specific version on my Valheim server?
Email support@fwg.world with the mods, world settings, or version you want for your Valheim world, and we confirm what is possible by email. No account is needed, and account holders can also open a ticket. No payment starts from either, so you can ask before you order.
Which ports does the Valheim server need?
Two. Iron Gate documents that Valheim uses the specified port and that port plus one, with 2456 and 2457 as the defaults.
Does a crossplay Valheim server need forwarded ports?
No. Iron Gate states the crossplay backend transmits data via a relay server and therefore does not require port forwarding, though a crossplay server cannot be joined using a local or loopback address.
Where are the Valheim server's world files stored?
By default in %USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/IronGate/Valheim on Windows and ~/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim on Linux, unless overridden with -savedir.
Is ForgeWorld Gaming based in Canada, and where does the Valheim server run?
ForgeWorld Gaming operates from Canada and bills in Canadian dollars, with no conversion added on our side. The Valheim server runs in Iowa, United States, currently our only region.
