High single-core performance
Simulation that holds up in large bases
The clock speed of Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5975WX keeps wide build clusters and busy bases simulating smoothly. We prefer to give you faster cores rather than more slow ones.

A Valheim world file gets heavier over time
A fresh Valheim server is surprisingly light. The real question appears months later: every explored region is added to the world file, and every structure and dropped item holds memory. Even on a five-player server the world file reaches hundreds of megabytes and memory use climbs well past week one.
On the server side clock speed decides. Iron Gate publishes no hardware requirement for the server. In our own operation stutter in large bases and dense build clusters is smaller on high frequency processors.
Third are backups. Valheim saves regularly and keeps previous saves with an `.old` extension, but that alone is not a backup strategy. A corrupted world file means losing months of progress, so external backups are essential.

Fast storage
World saves nobody notices
Valheim writes the world to disk at intervals and that file keeps growing. On enterprise NVMe SSD the save is short enough that players never feel it, and backups benefit from the same speed.
Mod support
BepInEx and any mod you like
Connect as root, install BepInEx, add mod packs such as Valheim Plus and edit server settings freely. No panel restrictions, no mod approval, no slot limits.
DDoS protection
No downtime on raid nights
Protection is spread across several layers rather than one appliance: volumetric traffic is absorbed upstream on the 10 Tbps capacity built with Aurologic and GibirNet, and what is left is filtered inside our own network by MikroTik devices, XDP-based packet filtering and rule sets we develop in house. Included with every plan; we do not null-route your IP or charge extra during an attack.
Which plan for how many players?
The table assumes vanilla or lightly modded play. For comprehensive mod packs such as Valheim Plus, pick one tier higher.
