Rent a Vintage Story Server

Vintage Story is resource-friendly — 1 GB RAM is enough for smaller groups of up to 4 players. For 8-16 players, we recommend 2 GB. Large worlds with many players and mods can use 3-4 GB.

Vintage Story servers support up to 16 players by default (MAX_CLIENTS variable). This value can be adjusted at any time in the Control Panel.

Vintage Story 1.22+ requires .NET 10. Our hosting is configured accordingly — you do not need to adjust anything. Older .NET versions (8, 9) do not work with the current VS version.

Yes, Vintage Story has an active modding community via the official ModDB (mods.vintagestory.at). Upload mods to the Mods folder on the server and activate them — players need the same mods installed locally.

Your Vintage Story server starts within minutes. The world is generated automatically on first start. Players connect via IP and port 42420. Configure server name and max players in the control panel.

No, Vintage Story is not a Steam game. You purchase the game directly at vintagestory.at and download it from there — no Steam account required. Our server is also operated without any Steam dependency and installs the game directly from the official Vintage Story servers.

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 3 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. Vintage Story starts here at 2.69 EUR per month, and setup typically takes about 3 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.
