Valheim
Explore the Viking afterlife with friends
Built for the way your community plays.
Conquer the tenth Norse world with your own Valheim dedicated server. Build massive Viking settlements, defeat legendary bosses, and explore procedurally generated worlds with your friends. Our Valheim servers run a vanilla install out of the box. If you want to try community mods, FTP access is included on paid plans and gives you file-level access to sideload them.

Pay only for the size you need. Upgrade any time — we only charge the difference for the days left in your billing cycle. Sizes move up only; downgrades aren't supported.

Who runs Valheim on Revelation.
Every community is different. Here's the playbook for the ones we see most. Valheim holds up to 10 players per server — that ceiling is the game's, not a slot count we sell you.
5–10 players · no drama
Start on Small. Zero config, zero ticket numbers. Perfect for weeknight sessions that just need to work.
Tier: SmallA full roster · active Discord
Medium or Large tier. Room to scale without reprovisioning. Upgrade mid-month and you only pay the difference for the days left in your cycle.
Tier: Medium · LargeBig worlds + big builds
X-Large tier. Generous RAM and world-backup automation so you can risk-take on the build.
Tier: X-LargeA full server · 24/7 operation
XX-Large or a Dedicated Server. Full-machine isolation, white-glove onboarding, and an engineer on Discord for launch day.
Tier: XX-Large · DedicatedSideload your own mods.
Valheim has an active modding scene and your server is yours to modify. FTP is included on paid plans, so you upload the mod files yourself and they persist across restarts. We do not install, update or troubleshoot mod content, and there is no mod picker in the dashboard for this title.
Four steps. Five minutes.
