Best Windrose Server Hosting UK (Nov 2026)

A Windrose server keeps your crew’s ships, bases and world alive when the captain logs off. Windrose is still in Early Access, so what matters is enough RAM for your crew size, an easy way to share the invite code, room for UE4SS and .pak mods, backups before each update and a UK location. We compared 40 hosts that sell Windrose servers today.

Quick verdict: LOW.MS is our #1, with 10GB on every plan, the invite code in its panel and London hosting from £7.48/mo ($9.95). Indifferent Broccoli has a two-day free trial with no card and uncapped RAM from £4.50/mo ($5.99), and Host Havoc runs its own hardware in London from £12.78/mo ($17.00).

Reviews

The 40 best Windrose server hosts, reviewed

Each review covers the plan that suits a small crew, what it costs and the detail that decides whether it suits your voyage.

1

LOW.MS

10GB on every plan, London
£7.48/mo ($9.95)4 players · 10GB
4.4 Trustpilot (200 reviews)
Price£7.48/mo ($9.95)
RAM10GB
SlotsSlot-based
LocationsLondon and Europe
BackupsCloud backups
Refund / trial5-day money-back

LOW.MS sells Windrose from £7.48/mo ($9.95) a month, and every Windrose plan includes 10GB of RAM rather than scaling memory with the slot count. That covers a four-player crew, the size Windrose runs best at, with headroom as the world grows later in a save.

The panel shows the server’s invite code directly, so you do not have to dig through ServerDescription.json after the first boot. Nexus mods and .pak files go in through the file manager, the server is hosted in London, and the five-day money-back window gives you time to sail a few sessions before you commit.

Support, billing and the control panel are covered in our full LOW.MS review.

Pros
  • 10GB on every plan
  • Invite code shown in the panel
  • London location
Cons
  • No one-click mod installer

Indifferent Broccoli prices Windrose by crew size: £4.50/mo ($5.99) a month for one player, £5.26/mo ($6.99) for two, £7.51/mo ($9.99) for four, £9.77/mo ($12.99) for six and up to £14.28/mo ($18.99) for ten. RAM is not capped per plan and is subject to fair use, so a busy world does not hit a hard memory limit.

You can play two days free with no credit card, which makes it the easiest host here to test before paying. Its European servers are in Frankfurt, Roubaix and Amsterdam rather than the UK, which still gives British crews a short route.

Support, billing and the control panel are covered in our full Indifferent Broccoli review.

Pros
  • 2-day free trial, no card
  • RAM not capped per plan
  • Clear per-player pricing

Host Havoc’s Windrose server costs £12.78/mo ($17.00) a month for six slots, with eight and ten slot options, and memory is sized to the official guide’s figure of 16GB for a full crew. London is one of its European locations.

It runs its own hardware and the TCAdmin v2 panel, with full mod and config support and unrestricted access to the configuration files. That suits crews who want to edit world settings by hand and keep offsite backups.

Pros
  • Memory sized for a full crew
  • Own hardware
  • London location
Cons

Read this first

Windrose is in Early Access: what that means for your server

Windrose is a pirate survival game from Kraken Express, still in Early Access. Updates arrive regularly, and the dedicated server and the game client need to be on the same version, or players get connection failures. A good host updates the server automatically, but you should still take a backup before each patch.

World saves use a RocksDB database, which is quick on NVMe storage and does not like being copied while the server runs. Stop the server before you download or restore a save.

Invite codes

How friends join: invite codes, not IP addresses

Windrose does not use a classic server browser. The server generates an invite code the first time it boots, and players join from Play, then Connect to Server, by entering that code.

On most hosts you find the code in ServerDescription.json in the server files. LOW.MS shows it directly in its panel, and GameServerKings keeps a fixed code so your crew does not need a new one after a restart. If the code changes after a wipe or reinstall, share the new one with your crew.

Hardware

How much RAM does a Windrose server need?

The official guide lists 8GB as the starting point and 16GB for a full crew of ten. Memory use grows as your world fills up with ships and bases:

CrewRAMNotes
1–2 players8GBThe official minimum for a dedicated server
4 players10–12GBThe size Windrose runs best at
6–8 players12–16GBMore ships and bases later in a world
10 players16GB+The official figure for a full crew

Hosts that sell 4GB or 6GB plans are fine for a quick test, but a long-running world will want 8GB or more. Our hardware requirements guide explains CPU and storage too.

Mods

Windrose mods: UE4SS, .pak files and Nexus

Windrose has no official Steam Workshop. The modding scene runs on Nexus Mods, .pak files and UE4SS-based tools, so full file access matters more than a one-click Workshop browser.

Kinetic Hosting has a dedicated RS UE4SS installer and management screen, VeryGames installs Nexus mods in one click, and Empower Servers offers a paid mod install service. On LOW.MS, Host Havoc and most others you upload .pak files through the file manager or SFTP. Every player needs the same client-side mods, and mods often break after an update, so keep a backup from before each patch.

Self-hosting

Self-hosting vs renting a Windrose server

You can run the Windrose dedicated server yourself, but it is Windows-only and needs a machine that stays on whenever your crew wants to play:

RequirementOfficial guide
Operating systemWindows only
CPU2 fast cores
RAM8GB to 16GB depending on crew size
Storage35GB on an SSD
Ports7777 and 7778

You also need to forward the ports, keep the server on the same version as the game and find the invite code yourself.

Self-hostRented server
CostFree server; you pay for the machine and powerFrom £3.34/mo ($4.44)
HardwareWindows, 2 fast cores, 8–16GB RAM, 35GB SSDSized by the plan you pick
SetupPorts, updates and invite code yourselfInstalled and updated for you
UptimeOnly while your machine is onOnline 24/7
BackupsYour jobIncluded on most hosts

Renting makes more sense once crew members want to sail on their own schedule, or when you want backups and recovery after a bad update. Our self-hosting guide and guide to game server hosting cover the trade-offs.

FAQ

Windrose server hosting FAQ

What is the best Windrose server host in the UK?

LOW.MS is our #1, with 10GB of RAM on every Windrose plan, London hosting and a panel that shows the invite code directly. Our LOW.MS review covers it in depth.

How many players can a Windrose server hold?

Up to ten, but Windrose runs best with four. Nitrado, the official partner, says the same, so size your plan for the crew that plays together most.

How much RAM does a Windrose server need?

The official guide starts at 8GB and lists 16GB for a full crew of ten. Plan on 10–12GB for four players and 12–16GB for six to eight.

How do friends join a Windrose server?

With an invite code. The server generates it after the first boot, and players use Play, then Connect to Server, and enter it. You find it in ServerDescription.json, or in the panel on LOW.MS.

Does Windrose support mods?

There is no official Steam Workshop. Mods come from Nexus Mods as .pak files or UE4SS tools, uploaded through the file manager or SFTP. Kinetic Hosting has a dedicated RS UE4SS installer.

Can I host a Windrose server on Linux?

The official dedicated server is Windows-only, so self-hosting needs a Windows machine. Managed hosts handle this for you.

Is Nitrado the best host because it is the official partner?

Not necessarily. Nitrado is Windrose’s official hosting partner, but we rank on the product UK crews actually get, including RAM, location and price. It is in our list from £9.29/30 days ($12.36) for eight slots.

Which Windrose hosts have UK servers?

15 of the 40 hosts here show a London or UK location, including LOW.MS, Host Havoc, DatHost, Kinetic Hosting and GTX Gaming. The UK servers section above lists them all.

What is the cheapest Windrose server hosting?

On regular monthly prices, ZAP-Hosting starts at £3.34/mo ($4.44), CreeperHost’s Eco tier at £3.50/mo ($4.65) and Spill Hosting at £3.76/mo ($5.00) for 4GB. For 8GB, GHOSTCAP costs £6.76/mo ($8.99) and Kinetic Hosting £6.01/mo ($7.99). See our cheap game server hosting guide.

Can I try a Windrose server for free?

Yes. Indifferent Broccoli and FREAKHOSTING have two-day free trials with no card, PingPerfect has a 48-hour trial, and Sparked Host, Wabbanode and Nodecraft offer 24-hour trials.
