Premium Valheim Server Hosting

Valheim is a beautiful game, but it is demanding. To run a lag-free world with 10 players and massive castles, you need hardware that can handle thousands of instances per zone.

Why Choose Supercraft?

Most budget hosts put you on slow Intel Xeons. That works for web hosting, but for Valheim, it causes "Rubber-Banding". When you fight a Troll, you want your hits to register.

The "Desync" Solution

We pre-configure our network stack to handle Valheim's unique UDP traffic patterns. Coupled with our Better Networking Guide, you can achieve a console-like experience even with players around the globe.

Instant Setup

Your server is online within seconds of payment. The control panel allows you to:

• Switch between Public Test and Stable branches.
• Upload your local world (.fwl and .db) via drag-and-drop.
• Edit adminlist.txt and bannedlist.txt directly in the browser.
• Access RCON tools for real-time console commands.
• View real-time resource usage and player statistics.
