Terraria Server Hosting For PC

Terraria server hosting refers to the process of setting up and maintaining a server for the popular video game Terraria, which allows players to connect and play together online. Terraria is a 2D sandbox game with crafting, building, and combat elements, with a unique style and mechanics.

Here are the key aspects of Terraria server hosting:

1. Dedicated Server Software: Terraria provides dedicated server software, which users can download and run on their own hardware. This software manages the game world, player connections, and game mechanics.

2. Multiplayer Experience: Hosting a server allows multiple players to join the same Terraria world, enabling cooperative or competitive gameplay. This is particularly appealing for groups of friends or gaming communities.

3. Customization and Control: By hosting their own server, users gain more control over the game settings, mods, and who can join. This customization can enhance the gameplay experience with tailored challenges and features.

4. Hardware Requirements: Running a Terraria server requires a computer or server with sufficient processing power, memory, and network capabilities. The requirements depend on the number of players and the size of the game world.

5. Internet Connectivity: A stable and fast internet connection is crucial for a smooth multiplayer experience. The host’s internet speed will affect the game's performance for all connected players.

6. Public vs. Private Servers: Servers can be set to public, allowing anyone to join, or private, where only invited players can connect. Private servers are often preferred for playing with known friends or community members.

7. Third-Party Hosting Services: Apart from self-hosting, there are third-party services that offer Terraria server hosting, like GTXGaming. These services provide the hardware and connectivity, often with additional features like easy mod installation, backups, and customer support.

8. Maintenance and Management: Hosting a server involves tasks like updating the game and mods, managing player access, and ensuring server security and stability.

Overall, Terraria server hosting is a way for players to create custom, shared experiences in the game, either by using their own hardware or by utilizing third-party hosting services. It's popular among players who want to build and explore together with friends or the larger gaming community.

Simply click the order link above and choose your server options. Here is a brief explanation of each option and what it means:

Slots

This is the maximum number of players your Terraria server can hold at one time.

Location

This is the physical location of your Terraria game server. Choosing a location closer to where you live or where your players live means you will get a lower latency. Lower latency, also known as ping, is the reaction time of your game server to your inputs inside the game. The lower the game server latency, the better.

Extreme Performance Locations

We provide some extreme locations. This means you get a Ryzen 9 7950x CPU for your Terraria server, which is the very best CPU available right now. If you want the best, select an extreme location. Please note if you do select this option, the CPU Clock Speed addon becomes obsolete. You do not need the CPU Clock Speed addon if you choose an extreme location.

Memory Allocation

Terraria server hosting can use a lot of memory, which can be due to the size of the world or poorly optimized mods. In most cases, the lowest option we offer is more than sufficient, but for larger worlds, you may want to upgrade to a higher memory limit. Please note you can always upgrade your memory allocation on the fly, so starting at the lowest is a good idea if you aren't sure. On our control panel, you can see CPU, Memory, and hard disk usage at any time and even look at the past 30 days.

Disk Space

You can upgrade your hard disk space if you feel you need more storage. Terraria game servers use very little disk space and it's not required to upgrade. But we have the option there because our users have asked for it.

CPU Priority

For our Terraria server hosting, we use a shared hosting environment, which means there could be six Terraria game servers on one machine. The CPU priority gives you more priority over the other Terraria servers on that machine. This gives a performance boost but most importantly, during very heavy resource usage, your Terraria server would be prioritized over others on the same machine.

VIP Ticket Priority Support

We offer an option to give your support tickets priority. We endeavor to answer tickets as fast as we can, and we have 24-hour staff to keep up with support demand. During very busy periods or, for instance, during an outage, your ticket would appear at the top of our list and be answered first. This is a luxury addon which we don't recommend as we answer tickets very fast anyway. 1-15 minutes maximum response time.

These attacks are intercepted and neutralized before they can reach your Terraria server, rendering DDoS threats effectively obsolete in our network.
