Standard or Premium for Terraria?

Terraria without mods is light for a server; with big mods, memory use grows quickly. For a group of friends, Standard is usually enough; with lots of mods or a large world, Premium gives you more headroom.

Who is a Terraria server for?

A Terraria server is for a group of friends who want to play through one world together, with or without mods. Everyone logs in whenever they like, and the world is saved even when the host is away.

Setting up your Terraria server

Just ordered? First steps after your order shows you how to get into the game panel. To change the settings in the Startup tab, see Change your server settings under Startup.

  1. Step 1: Choose your world

    In the Startup tab, set the world name, the size (small, medium or large), the difficulty and, if you like, a password.

  2. Step 2: Start the server

    On the first start tModLoader creates your world. The console shows when the server is ready.

  3. Step 3: Add mods

    Put your mods in the mods folder with the file manager or SFTP. Your players need the same mods to connect.

  4. Step 4: Invite your friends

    Players start tModLoader, choose Multiplayer and then Join via IP, and enter the address and port from the game panel.

What does a Terraria server need?

Terraria is the 2D adventure game by Re-Logic, full of digging, building and boss fights. We run Terraria servers with tModLoader, the free modding version that anyone who owns Terraria on Steam can install. That lets you play with mods, from small tweaks to big expansions like Calamity.

Which version does my server run?

Terraria itself got update 1.4.5 on 27 January 2026. tModLoader is still working on the move to that version; until it is done, tModLoader runs on the Terraria 1.4.4 base. So your players connect with tModLoader, not with regular Terraria. In the Startup tab you choose the tModLoader version; by default it is the latest.

How many players and how much RAM?

Your server has 8 slots by default. Without mods, our smallest plan of 2 GB is enough for a group of friends. Big mods load lots of extra items, enemies and bosses, and that costs memory: choose CupCake 4 GB or Cake 6 GB, and BIGCake 8 GB for a long mod list. Want more than 8 slots? Open a ticket and we will check what your plan can handle.

What can you change in the panel?

In Startup you choose the world name, the size, the difficulty, a password, the server language and a welcome message (MOTD). Mods go into the mods folder. To bring an existing world, upload its .wld file to saves/Worlds and set World Name to the file name without .wld. Make a backup first, so you can always go back. How that works is in Create and restore a backup.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Terraria server hosting cost?

From €2.95 a month, including VAT, on Standard; Premium starts at €8.95. What you pay depends on the memory; every size is listed with the plans. You pay monthly and can cancel any month.

Can I connect with regular Terraria?

No. Our Terraria servers run tModLoader. Your players start Terraria through tModLoader, which is free on Steam for anyone who owns Terraria.

Does my server work with Terraria 1.4.5?

Not yet. tModLoader is working on the move to Terraria 1.4.5 and runs on the 1.4.4 base until then. As soon as a new tModLoader version is out, you pick it in the Startup tab.

How many players can join my Terraria server?

8 at once by default. Want more slots? Open a ticket and we will check what your plan can handle.

How do I put my own world on the server?

Upload your .wld file to the saves/Worlds folder and set World Name in the Startup tab to the file name without .wld. Make a backup of what is already there first.

Can friends on console or mobile join?

No. tModLoader only exists for PC. Everyone who joins plays on PC with tModLoader and the same mods.
