Valheim Server Hosting
Valheim servers that pause when you do.
Valheim's server pauses the moment your last player logs off — so yours should too. Start at $0.032/hr and never pay for an empty world.
New accounts receive a $10 welcome bonus and 20% off all usage during beta.

Why hourly fits Valheim
Built for how Viking clans actually play
Valheim's dedicated server doesn't spin endlessly while your crew is offline. The moment the last player leaves, the world pauses — and stays paused until someone logs back in. That makes monthly hosting a bad deal for most groups. You're paying for 730 hours a month but using a fraction of that.
Fenrik bills by the hour. Your credits only drain while your server is online. Stop the server, stop the billing. Come back three weeks later, your world is exactly where you left it, and you haven't paid a cent in the meantime.
What that difference looks like
| Play Pattern | Monthly Host | Fenrik |
|---|---|---|
| Casual (40 hrs/mo) | ~$12/mo | $1.28/mo |
| Active (80 hrs/mo) | ~$12/mo | $2.56/mo |
| Heavy (200 hrs/mo) | ~$12/mo | $6.40/mo |
Based on 4 GB at $0.032/hr during beta. Monthly host price reflects a typical market rate.

Custom address
Your server, your address
When you create a Fenrik account, you choose a subdomain. Each server you create gets its own address underneath it. Your Valheim server might be something like valheim.vikingcrew.odgservers.com — easy to remember, easy to share, no raw IPs.

FAQ
Questions clans usually ask before they launch
How much RAM do I need for a Valheim server?
For most groups of 2–6 players, 4 GB is plenty. Valheim is lightweight — even well-explored large worlds run comfortably on 4 GB. Step up to 6 GB or 8 GB for larger groups or if you plan to run mods once mod support launches.
How many players can join my Valheim server?
Valheim supports up to 10 simultaneous players. Fenrik does not charge per slot — you choose your server size based on RAM, and everyone plays.
Do you support mods like ValheimPlus or BepInEx?
Not yet, but mod support is on our roadmap. Vanilla Valheim runs great today. Join our Discord to be notified when mod support launches.
How fast does my server start up?
Typically under 3 minutes. You can start and stop your server any time from the control panel.
What happens to my world when the server is stopped?
Your world is safely saved and waiting. Nothing is lost between sessions — stop, come back a week later, and everything is exactly where you left it.
Does Fenrik support Steam and Xbox crossplay?
Yes. Steam and Xbox players can join the same Valheim world on Fenrik.
How does hourly billing work?
You purchase credits, and they only drain while your server is actively running. The moment you stop the server, billing stops. It is the opposite of a monthly subscription — you pay for exactly what you use.
Can I switch to a different game later?
Yes. You can swap your server to a different supported game at any time from the control panel.
Where are your servers located?
Currently US West and US East. More regions are planned. Join our Discord to stay informed.
Are backups included?
Automatic backups are included on every server. You can also take a manual snapshot any time from the control panel.
Is DDoS protection included?
Yes, DDoS protection is included at no extra charge on every Fenrik server.
What is the custom subdomain and how does it work?
When you create your Fenrik account, you pick a subdomain. Each server you create gets its own address under that — for example, valheim.yourclan.odgservers.com. No raw IPs to share with your friends.
