||| Valheim is an Early Access game, and these instructions may change without prior notice. Though we will do our best to keep you looped in for any possible updates, we highly recommend that you reach out to us if the instructions below do not work for you. || Our servers are always updated, so make sure Valheim is updated on Steam before connecting to prevent a version mismatch. We also recommend that you disable/turn off any mods that require a server counterpart to prevent any issues (we'll add mod support soon, we promise!). Congratulations on setting up your Valheim server! We're excited for you to have great adventures in the game.

Now that you've completely set up your server on ValheimServerHosting, it's time to play the game. As of writing, there are two recommended ways to connect to your Valheim server — Direct Connect and through the Steam Server Browser. For both of these methods, you'll need to take note of your server details.

Where can I find my server's details?

Your server details can be found in the Server Confirmation Screen, "Your Servers" pane in My Dashboards, and your server's main dashboard.

Accepted Answer

Creating your own Valheim server

If you've ever wanted to set up your own Valheim server but didn't want to deal with the complexities and headaches of doing it by yourself, you've come to the right place! Gone are the days where you have to have an FTP client to download and save files and guess how to make something work. ValheimServerHosting.com offers a quick and easy way to create and manage Valheim servers for you and your friends.

How do I create a Valheim server?

There are two ways that you can create a server with us. You can create either a trial server or a paid server.

Creating a Trial server

|| Trial servers are offered in two different flavors: 24 hour trials and 8 hour trials. 24 hour trials are only for new users, while 8 hour trials are for existing users. Trial servers can be created right from the ValheimServerHosting home page. All you need to do enter is your email, password, and preferred server region! 24 hour trial users do not need to provide billing information of any kind until they are ready to pay.

After entering those details, you'll be led to the server creation screen. From here, we'll allocate resources, generate your world, and secure your server with a password. This process can take anywhere from 1-5 minutes in total.

Creating a Paid server

|| An active credit or debit card is required to create Paid servers. Paid servers can be created in a similar fashion to Trial se

Question 3

How do I add myself or other people as admins?

Accepted Answer

How do I add myself or other people as admins?

||| This feature is only available for users who have paid for their server. Unlike other providers, we won't hassle you and require you to know how to use FTP to change text files. ValheimServerHosting provides an easy to use interface that allows you to easily change Valheim server settings without leaving your web browser.

Accessing and editing adminlist.txt

Valheim assigns server admins by reading the adminlist.txt file, which is present in every Valheim server. You can access this by logging in to your ValheimServerHosting account and navigating to your server's dashboard. You should be able to see the "Edit Admin List" button. If the button is greyed out, double check if your server is currently subscribed to a payment plan. If you are subscribed to a payment plan and this button is still greyed out, let our team know by clicking on the Crisp Chat message bubble available on the lower right part of the screen.

To add users to the adminlist.txt file, you need to enter the players' steamID64. Rest assured that this value is stored securely within our servers and will only be accessible through your account.

For your security, we will never ask you to log into ValheimServerHosting.com with your Steam account, and we will never ask you to provide your Steam credentials to us. Please be vigilant about keeping your Steam account secure!
