About The Forest

The Forest caps out at eight players and runs a small world, which makes it one of the cheapest things we host. The reason to pay for it at all is persistence: peer-to-peer means the island only exists while the host is online, and a dedicated server turns a series of sessions into a place your group actually lives in.

Why run it with us

  • Cheap because it should be. Eight players and a small map do not need much hardware, and we price it accordingly rather than charging survival-game rates.
  • The island keeps its state. Buildings, cleared caves and felled trees persist whether or not anyone is logged in.
  • Every difficulty knob. Enemy aggression, building damage, starting equipment and season length are all editable from the panel.

Getting started

Pick your slot count, billing cycle and region above and the server provisions automatically - most are joinable inside a minute. If it is not right within 72 hours, we refund you in full.

Sons is the sequel and supports sixteen players on a bigger map; The Forest is cheaper, finished, and has a decade of community knowledge behind it. We host both and the save formats are not compatible.

Yes. Upload the save folder through the file manager and select it in the panel — buildings and progress come with it.

That is the game’s own limit, not ours. Anything above eight is not supported by the dedicated server.
