Frequently asked questions

How many players can join a Sons of the Forest server?
Sons of the Forest is engine-capped at a maximum of 8 players — this is the official hard cap from Endnight Games. With 8 GB RAM, 8 players run stably.
How much RAM does a Sons of the Forest server need?
Sons of the Forest requires at least 8 GB RAM for stable operation. For 8 players with good performance we recommend 12 GB. The game runs under Wine on the server.
Is the game progress automatically saved?
Yes, the dedicated server saves progress automatically. Your world, collected resources, and story progress are preserved between sessions.
Can I create password-protected servers?
Yes, you can set a server password so only invited friends can join.
How do I get started after ordering?
Typical initial setup: about 3 minutes. Queues or large installations can take longer. In the control panel you configure server name, password, and max players (up to 8).
Does Sons of the Forest support crossplay between platforms?
Sons of the Forest is exclusively available on PC via Steam — there is no console version. This means there is no crossplay in the traditional sense, but all Steam players connect seamlessly to your dedicated server. A password keeps your server private so only invited friends can join.
Do I get my own subdomain?
Yes. Every server includes a subdomain like my-server.game-serverhosting.com, and you can change it anytime in the dashboard.
What are the free extras?
Every server can enable free add-ons such as Uptime Kuma, Sinusbot, Game Server Watcher, and more with one click in the dashboard.
How quickly is my server online?
Typical initial setup: about 3 minutes. Queues or large installations can take longer.
Is there a minimum contract term?
There is no long-term minimum. Billing is a monthly subscription and automatic renewal can be disabled. Longer terms may qualify for discounts.
Are the servers located in Germany?
Yes. All game servers run in German data centres (Falkenstein and Limburg) connected to the major German exchanges — low pings for players across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and solid latency for the rest of Europe.
Which provider is best for my server?
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.
Should I host the server myself or rent one?
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, DDoS protection and backups are included. For one or two friends on a single evening self-hosting is often fine — for a persistent world, renting pays off.
