Frequently asked questions
How is a dedicated server different from hosting in the game?
When you host from the game, your PC is the server, so when you quit, nobody else can get in. A dedicated server runs on its own, so the world stays open without you. The 10-player plan fills the dedicated server's player cap.
Can I bring over the world I've been playing?
Yes, for worlds from version 1.0 onward. Zip the folder named after your world inside worlds_local and upload it under save import in the Console. Characters stay on each player's own PC. Load an older world once in the latest game first, and the game converts it.
Can friends on console or Game Pass join?
Yes. Turn on crossplay in the server settings, and friends on console or the Xbox app, including Game Pass on PC, join with the join code shown in the Console. With crossplay on, connections go through the game's relay, so the Console can't show whether the server is online or how many players are on.
When Valheim updates, does the server keep up?
Yes. Auto-update is on from the start: once nobody has been online for a few minutes, the server backs up your save and updates, or at the latest during the daily restart. If you don't want to wait, update right away in the Console. You can also turn auto-update off.
What happens when my plan ends?
We remind you by email and in the Console before it ends. If you don't extend it, the server stops, but the save stays for 7 days, so extending within those 7 days picks up where you left off (the server address may change). Backups are kept for 30 days from the expiry date. There's no automatic billing.
Can I pay in Korean won?
Prices are shown in US dollars, but when you pay from Korea the checkout converts them to Korean won automatically. You can use Kakao Pay, Naver Pay, or Korean cards.
How do refunds work?
Within 24 hours of your server going live, we refund you without asking why (once a month per account). Your statutory right of withdrawal applies separately, and the full conditions are in our refund policy.
Can I order right now?
Yes. Choose a player count, region, and term, then pay, and your server opens within minutes. Some plan and region combinations are set up by hand and take a little longer; the order form tells you when you pick one.
Your server stays open even when the host is offline
Start from one month, with no automatic billing. You extend it yourself before it ends.
