Step 1 - Find a server host
Firstly, find a suitable server host. We at Gateway.gg have plenty of experience hosting servers.
Step 2 - Choose the plan that suits your needs
When setting up a server, its important that you get a server that has good enough performance to cover your needs. For playing with friends, we recommend you go with at least 4GB or RAM. If you always want good and stable performance, go with 8GB of RAM. And lastly, if you never want to experience lag, even with many friends online, go with 16GB of RAM.
Step 3 - Choose your region
Next, we recommend you choose a region that is closest to your location, so you get as little latency as possible. We have as of writing this article, dedicated servers in both Europe and North America, and will keep adding more locations as we go.
Step 4 - Complete order and start playing!
After completing your order, you will instantly get access to your server, and it will start up automatically. Remember to set a Valheim server password in the config page!
