Don't Starve
Together
Rent a server

Yes, Steam Workshop mods are fully supported. Enter Workshop IDs in the mod configuration — the server downloads them automatically on startup. Players need the same mods locally (DST installs them automatically on connect).

Don't Starve Together starts with 6 players by default on our servers, but the max_players variable lets you configure up to 64 players directly — that's a native in-game limit (Klei forums: `max_players = 1 .. 64`), no mod required. Actual performance still depends heavily on world size and installed mods.

Not automatically: in Don't Starve Together, Caves run as a separate shard process, and your server only starts the surface world (master shard). The configuration template for the Caves shard is already in the server folder.

Yes! You can freely set the length of the four seasons (Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer) in the world generation settings. Monster spawn rates, resource rates, and world size are also configurable.

Yes, our server checks for updates on startup and installs them automatically. Klei Entertainment releases regular patches and seasonal events — your server stays up to date without manual intervention.

Yes. Your saved world is stored locally in `Documents/Klei/DoNotStarveTogether/`. You can upload the cluster folder via the file manager in the dashboard and continue playing on the server.

Yes. Every server includes a subdomain like my-server.gs.game-serverhosting.com, and you can change it anytime in the dashboard.

For every server you enable Uptime Kuma (server monitoring) and Game Server Watcher (server status in Discord/Telegram) with one click in the dashboard at no extra cost, plus one bot such as Sinusbot (music bot for Discord/TeamSpeak). Every additional bot costs extra.

Typical initial setup: about 4 minutes. Queues or large installations can take longer. Setup creates the subdomain and DNS records automatically, and for Minecraft also accepts the EULA and installs Geyser.

There is no long-term minimum. Billing is a monthly subscription and automatic renewal can be disabled. Longer terms may qualify for discounts.

You choose the location at checkout: Germany (Falkenstein and Limburg) or France (Roubaix) — all in the EU, connected to the major European exchanges. Low pings for players across Germany, Austria and Switzerland at both locations, and solid latency for the rest of Europe.

The best provider is the one that shows you what you get before you pay: RAM, slots, location, price and cancellation terms. Here the price and resources are visible in the configurator before checkout, there is no minimum term and setup is automated — feel free to compare that with other offers. Don't Starve Together starts here at 2.69 EUR per month, and setup typically takes about 4 minutes.

Self-hosting costs power, time and a machine that runs around the clock; port forwarding, updates and backups are on you. A rented server is online within minutes, keeps running when your PC is off, and updates and backups are included; data-center DDoS protection is included at every location. For one or two friends on a single evening self-hosting is often fine — for a persistent world, renting pays off.

Yes, you can do it yourself in the customer area using a slider. An upgrade takes effect immediately: you only pay the prorated difference for the remaining term, and the new price applies from the next renewal. A downgrade takes effect on the next renewal date. Your world, settings and subdomain are kept, and depending on the game, a restart is required afterwards. With monthly payment and a minimum term, the change is only possible once that term has ended, and for games with a slot-based plan it is not available.
