Valheim Server Hosting

Can I upload a local save, or transfer from another host?
Yes, absolutely! Transferring your current saves from either your local computer or even a different host is incredibly easy to do. Valheim's save system is easy to use and only requires the transfer a few small files. We have a complete guide on transferring saves between environments in our Valheim knowledge base here.

Will I be an admin?
Of course! You can set yourself as an administrator on your server. This will give you control over the other players on your server and allow you to have access to various moderation commands.

Please be aware that in the current state of the game, only certain admin commands are available on a dedicated Valheim server while others require you to be on a local server. We have a full list of admin commands with explanations and additional information that you can access on this page.

Can I have more than 10 players on my server?
Currently Valheim only allows a maximum of 10 players per server at a time. If this ever changes, we update our service accordingly to allow for more slots!

Will my server be private?
Valheim currently requires a password for servers. When your server is installed, you will be given a default password. This password can be changed, but all users will still need to enter the password in order to enter your Valheim server.

On top of the password, Valheim also has a whitelist system that can be used to only allow connections from specific Steam accounts. This adds an extra layer of security to your server if you only want your own group of friends to be able to join the server.
