Valheim 1.0 · Deep North · 56 hosts ranked

Best Valheim Server Hosting UK (Nov 2026)

By Linus Pierre · Updated 30 Oct 2026 · How we compared

Valheim 1.0 brought the Deep North, full crossplay and an engine upgrade, and it changed what matters in a host. Version control, world backups and mod handling now count for more than slot numbers. We compared 56 hosts on RAM, London or nearby EU locations, backups, crossplay and refund terms.

Quick verdict: Indifferent Broccoli is the best overall because its RAM is never capped. LOW.MS is the best London choice with 10GB and up to 20 lockable cloud backups. DatHost is the best all-inclusive plan with 16GB DDR5 and easy console crossplay.

How we compared Valheim server hosts

We compared each host’s live Valheim 1.0 product on the things that decide how a world holds up over months: memory, backups, crossplay, mod support, location and price. Prices come from each host’s public plan page, converted at £1 = $1.33. Our full process is on the how we compare game server hosts page.

BackupsDownload from panel

Refund / trial7-day refund · 2-day free trial, no card

Indifferent Broccoli prices Valheim by player count and leaves RAM uncapped under fair use. A one-player server starts at £4.50/mo ($5.99), and the four-player plan that suits a normal group costs £7.51/mo ($9.99). The ladder runs up to the game’s ten-player limit.

Valheim worlds get heavier the further you sail. Big longhouses, portal hubs and a BepInEx mod list all push memory up, while the player count stays the same. Here the server takes what it needs, so you never have to guess which RAM tier your world will need after the Deep North.

The product is already updated for Valheim 1.0, with crossplay and BepInEx support. The trade-off is location: the nearest region is in Germany rather than London, which still gives UK players comfortable ping. The 2-day trial needs no card, so you can upload your world and check ping from your own connection before paying.

RAM10GB, up to 20GB on 64 slots

Slots10–64

LocationsLondon

BackupsUp to 20 lockable cloud backups

Refund / trial5-day full refund

LOW.MS runs Valheim from London, starting at £8.26/mo ($10.99) for 10 slots with 10GB of RAM. Higher slot plans go up to 64 slots with 20GB, and you can add extra RAM when you order.

The backup system is what makes it stand out for a world that already holds hundreds of hours of progress. Worlds, settings and mod configs are backed up to the cloud automatically, you can keep up to 20 per server and lock the ones that matter. The Backups tab can also write an off-server copy in one click, and a scheduled task turns that into a nightly job.

It sits second because a 10-slot, 10GB plan is more than a four-player vanilla group strictly needs, and Indifferent Broccoli removes the RAM question for a similar price. Thunderstore mods install in one click, and LOW.MS offers a full refund within the first 5 days.

Pros

Slots10 players

BackupsWorld manager with backups

Refund / trial14-day money-back

DatHost sells one Valheim plan: 16GB of DDR5 RAM, the full ten-player cap and 60GB of NVMe storage for £12.45/mo ($16.56) a month, or £5.77/mo ($7.67) a month on yearly billing. There are no tiers to choose between.

Crossplay is built in. PC players join by IP, while Xbox, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 players use the join code shown in the dashboard once crossplay is enabled. A world manager handles uploads and backups, and you can deploy in London.

The 14-day money-back guarantee is the longest here. The catch is the monthly price, which is higher than our top two. It makes most sense if you want one plan that never needs resizing, or if you are happy to pay yearly.

BackupsAutomated offsite backups

Refund / trial72-hour money-back

Host Havoc’s Valheim server costs £7.51/mo ($9.99) for 10 slots, the game’s full player cap, with London available. It runs on hardware Host Havoc owns, with NVMe storage and DDoS protection.

Automated world backups and 24/7 support cover you when an update goes wrong. Host Havoc reminds owners that Valheim has no official mod support, so BepInEx and each mod need a 1.0 build before you update, and recent patches fixed a rare object-erasing bug (1.0.17) and a CPU-wasting dedicated server bug (1.0.20).

The weak point is transparency on memory: the page does not list a RAM figure per plan. For a vanilla group that rarely matters, but ask support before loading a big mod pack.

Support, billing and the control panel are covered in our full Host Havoc review.

Pros

BackupsAutomatic, 5 backup slots

Refund / trial7-day refund

Kinetic Hosting sells Valheim in two RAM tiers: 8GB at £6.01/mo ($7.99) and 12GB at £9.77/mo ($12.99). 8GB is plenty for a four-player world with a moderate BepInEx mod list, and it is the cheapest London plan here.

NVMe storage, five backup slots, full file access, beta-branch support and automatic updates are included, with a seven-day refund. Kinetic’s custom panel makes it easy to test a new mod on a copy of your world before it goes live.

It ranks fourth because the top three each win on one thing that matters for a long-running world: uncapped RAM, deep cloud backups or a single all-inclusive plan. If you want the most RAM for the least money with London, Kinetic is the pick.

Support, billing and the control panel are covered in our full Kinetic Hosting review.

BackupsDaily backups

Refund / trial24-hour refund

GTX Gaming’s vanilla Valheim bundle costs £11.72/mo ($15.59) for 10 slots and 10GB of RAM. More memory on the same 10 slots costs £18.71/mo ($24.88) for 12GB or £22.71/mo ($30.20) for 16GB, and modded plans with more slots start at £34.75/mo ($46.22) for 24 slots and 16GB.

Daily backups, world migration and crossplay across every platform are included, and Valheim Plus and BepInEx are supported. GTX is a UK company with London servers, and its prices are in pounds, so the monthly bill is easy to read.

Valheim is officially a one-to-ten-player game, so the bigger slot plans rely on unofficial mods. For most groups the vanilla 10-slot bundle is the one to buy. The 24-hour refund window is short, so test the server on day one.

Valheim 1.0

What Valheim 1.0 changes for server owners

Valheim 1.0 launched on 9 September 2026 with the Deep North biome, more than 40 new weapons, 10+ new creatures, 80+ build pieces and a Unity engine upgrade. Full crossplay now covers PC, Linux, Mac, Xbox, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2. Iron Gate has kept patching since, reaching 1.0.20 on 15 October 2026, which fixed dedicated servers wasting CPU when v-sync was on in a client on the same machine.

Old worlds still loadExplored areas will not regenerate into the Deep North, so a fresh world gives the cleanest 1.0 experience.

Mods are unofficialIron Gate does not support mods. Check BepInEx and every mod has a 1.0 build.

Back up firstBack up, update the server, verify mods, then let the group back in.

Our guide to moving a world to a dedicated server covers uploading an existing save, and our Valheim crossplay server setup guide explains join codes for console players.

RAM sizing

How much RAM a Valheim server needs

Valheim keeps the world in memory, so RAM use grows as players explore and build. These are practical sizes, not an Iron Gate minimum. CPU speed matters just as much, so do not judge a plan on RAM alone. Our Valheim server requirements guide goes deeper.

Server	Players	Practical RAM	Hosts that fit
Small vanilla world	2–4	4–6GB	Indifferent Broccoli 4-player, Kinetic 8GB
Full vanilla group	5–10	8GB	Kinetic 8GB, Host Havoc 10 slots, LOW.MS 10GB
BepInEx mods or big builds	Any	10–12GB	LOW.MS 10GB, GTX 10GB, Kinetic 12GB
Heavy mod pack or huge world	Any	16GB	DatHost 16GB, GTX 16GB, Indifferent Broccoli uncapped

If the world already rubber-bands, read our Valheim lag and desync fix guide before you upgrade. Desync often comes from one player’s connection or a heavy base rather than server RAM.

Backups

Valheim saves and backups

The official dedicated server saves the world every 30 minutes by default (-saveinterval 1800) and keeps four automatic backups. That protects against a crash, but not against a bad mod update you only notice a day later. A host’s own cloud or offsite backups add a second layer you can restore from the panel.

Host	Backups
LOW.MS	Up to 20 automatic cloud backups, lockable
Kinetic Hosting	5 automatic backup slots
Host Havoc	Automated offsite world backups
GTX Gaming	Daily backups
DatHost	World manager with backups
Indifferent Broccoli	Download your world from the panel

Our Valheim backup and restore guide shows where the world files live and how to roll back safely.

UK servers

Valheim servers in the UK

For a group mostly in Britain, a London server gives the shortest route and the steadiest ping. Five of our top six offer London, and many more hosts below list a London or UK location.

Host	London	Starting price
LOW.MS	✓	£8.26/mo ($10.99)
Kinetic Hosting	✓	£6.01/mo ($7.99)
Host Havoc	✓	£7.51/mo ($9.99)
GTX Gaming	✓	£11.72/mo ($15.59)
DatHost	✓	£12.45/mo ($16.56)
Indifferent Broccoli	–	£4.50/mo ($5.99)

Indifferent Broccoli is the exception in the top three. Its German region still gives UK players good ping, and the free trial lets you check it first. If friends cannot see the server, our server not showing fix covers the usual causes.

Self-hosting

Self-hosting vs renting a Valheim server

You can run the Valheim dedicated server yourself through SteamCMD (app ID 896660) on Windows or Linux. It uses UDP ports 2456 and 2457 by default, which must be forwarded. Our Valheim dedicated server setup guide walks through it.

	Self-host	Rented server
Cost	Free if the PC is already on	From £4.50/mo ($5.99)
Uptime	Only while your PC runs	24/7
RAM	Shared with your own game	4–16GB set aside for the server
Backups	Four automatic backups by default	Extra cloud or offsite backups
Ports	Forward UDP 2456 and 2457	Handled by the host

Self-hosting suits a short test or a LAN weekend. For a world your group plays every week, a rented server is simpler. Our self-hosting guide and dedicated hosting explainer cover the trade-offs, and our hardware requirements guide explains what to look for in a server.

Buying guide

Which Valheim host should you choose?

Small group, world that keeps growing: Indifferent Broccoli, because RAM never caps out.
UK group with a precious world: LOW.MS, from £8.26/mo ($10.99) with 20 lockable cloud backups.
One plan, no sizing: DatHost’s 16GB plan for the full ten players.
Lowest price with London: Kinetic Hosting’s 8GB plan.

Mixed PC and console group: DatHost, with crossplay join codes in the dashboard.
Modded with Valheim Plus: GTX Gaming, with BepInEx support and pound pricing.
Want to try before paying: Indifferent Broccoli’s 2-day free trial.

Final verdict

For most groups, Indifferent Broccoli is the best Valheim server host in 2026, because uncapped RAM suits a world that keeps growing. UK groups who want London and deep backups should pick LOW.MS, and anyone who wants one plan that never needs resizing should pick DatHost. Once it is running, set your world modifiers with our Valheim server settings and commands guide.

FAQ

Valheim server hosting FAQ

What is the best Valheim server hosting in 2026?

Indifferent Broccoli is our #1 because its plans cap players, not RAM, and the product is updated for Valheim 1.0. LOW.MS is the best London choice and DatHost the best all-inclusive plan. See our Indifferent Broccoli Valheim review.

What is the best Valheim server host in the UK?

LOW.MS is our London pick, with 10GB of RAM and up to 20 lockable cloud backups. Kinetic Hosting, Host Havoc, GTX Gaming and DatHost also offer London. Our LOW.MS Valheim review covers its plans.

How much RAM does a Valheim server need?

Plan on 4–6GB for a small vanilla group, 8GB for a full ten-player vanilla server, 10–12GB with BepInEx mods and 16GB for a heavy mod pack. CPU speed matters as much as RAM.

Can I keep my old world in Valheim 1.0?

Yes. Existing saves still load, but explored areas will not regenerate into the Deep North correctly. Back up first, and consider a fresh world for the full 1.0 experience.

Do Valheim mods work with 1.0?

Not automatically. Iron Gate does not support mods, so check BepInEx and every mod has a 1.0 build. Our guide to installing mods on a dedicated server shows how.

How does Valheim crossplay work on a dedicated server?

Enable crossplay on the server. PC players can join by IP, while Xbox, PlayStation 5 and Switch 2 players join with the code shown in the host’s dashboard. Our crossplay setup guide covers it.

How often does a Valheim dedicated server save?

Every 30 minutes by default (-saveinterval 1800), and it keeps four automatic backups.

What is the cheapest Valheim server hosting?

Indifferent Broccoli starts at £4.50/mo ($5.99) for one player. With London, Kinetic Hosting’s 8GB plan costs £6.01/mo ($7.99). Per-GB hosts such as HostPanel and Sparked are also cheap for small worlds; the cheapest-plans table on this page lists every host.

Can I move my single-player world to a server?

Yes. Upload the .db and .fwl world files to the server’s worlds folder. Our world transfer guide explains each step.

Can I host a Valheim server for free?

Yes, by running the dedicated server through SteamCMD on your own PC, but it only runs while your PC is on and you must forward UDP 2456 and 2457. Our dedicated server setup guide covers it.

About the author

Linus PierreGSH Founder

Lifelong survival gamer · Server nerd · Sweden/UK

I'm an avid gamer from Sweden with a lot of time spent in England in the last 5 years who loves survival games — ARK, Palworld, Valheim, Sons of the Forest, V Rising and plenty of WoW and Dota 2 on the side. I created this site to help other gamers find the best server hosting without wasting money on laggy providers.

I've been hosting my own game servers since Minecraft first came out, from Hamachi LAN nights with friends to modded survival worlds and dedicated servers for ARK, Valheim and Palworld. Years of running, breaking and fixing servers taught me what actually makes a host worth paying for, and that's what I share here.

How we compare: Prices, specs and server locations are checked against each provider's own website and compared on price-to-performance.
