Our Terraria plans
From a small vanilla world with friends to a huge tModLoader modpack: a plan for every stage of your progression.
A Terraria server mostly runs on a single core, so RAM is what matters for mods. You can upgrade at any time from your client area.

Guide
Terraria server hosting: which plan to pick and how to set it up
Renting a Terraria server keeps your world online around the clock: your friends can play even when the host is offline, without slowing down anyone's PC or forwarding ports on a home router. Here is how to pick the right plan and get your server configured.
Which plan fits your players and mods?
A vanilla Terraria server is very lightweight: even a large world shared with friends runs comfortably on 2 GB of RAM. tModLoader mods are what drive usage up, sometimes sharply with content mods like Calamity or large modpacks.
These are guidelines only: you can move up a plan from your client area whenever your community or mod list grows.
Vanilla, tModLoader or TShock: which server mode?
Vanilla runs the official dedicated server for the original experience. tModLoader lets you install Calamity, Thorium and Workshop mods: every player then launches tModLoader, free on Steam for Terraria owners, with the same mod versions as the server. TShock adds plugins, groups and permissions on top of the vanilla server, which is very handy for public servers.
Each mode can be installed from the panel or on request through our support team. TShock and tModLoader cannot be combined, so choose the one that fits your project.
World, difficulty and server settings
The serverconfig.txt file holds all the settings: world name and size (small, medium or large), difficulty (Classic, Expert, Master or Journey), seed, max players, password and message of the day. You can also import an existing world by uploading its .wld file to the worlds folder with the file manager or over SFTP.
A Terraria server mostly uses a single core, so for smooth invasions and boss fights, CPU performance and NVMe storage matter more than the number of vCores.
YorkHost panel, backups and support
You manage your server from the YorkHost panel: a real-time console for admin commands, a file manager, SFTP access, backups and a task scheduler to automate restarts and backups. Take a backup before every update or mod change so you can roll back easily.
Our team answers 7 days a week on Discord to help you install tModLoader or TShock, configure your world or troubleshoot an issue.

Your game server protected by Gcore
Game servers are the first targets of DDoS attacks. The Gcore network automatically filters UDP and TCP floods before they reach your server: your community stays connected without their latency suffering.

How the protection works
- 1
Traffic is analysed by Gcore
Traffic arriving through our transit providers goes through the Gcore scrubbing network, spread across Europe, America and Asia.
- 2
Attacks are filtered out
Gcore absorbs volumetric attacks; our internal filters complement the filtering when needed.
- 3
Only legitimate traffic gets through
It is routed to your server in our Paris infrastructure, on our own network AS199415.
Filtered attacks
UDP flood
The most common vector against game servers and real-time services.
SYN / ACK flood
TCP connection exhaustion meant to make the server unreachable.
DNS, NTP, Memcached amplification
Volumetric reflection attacks, absorbed upstream.
HTTP flood (L7)
Request bursts targeting your websites, panels and APIs.
Standard protection or Premium Anti-DDoS option?
Standard protection covers most use cases. If your service is a frequent target or highly sensitive to downtime, a Premium Anti-DDoS option may be needed: it is available on all our offers.
Standard
IncludedShown on the diagram- Automatic Gcore mitigation with a generic filtering profile
- No monitoring or filter tuning for your service
- Part of the traffic may arrive directly through our Internet exchange points (IX) and peerings, without going through Gcore scrubbing
Premium option
On every offer- Dedicated filters, tuned to your service's traffic profile (game, web, API)
- Priority support: attack follow-up and rule tuning with our team
- All traffic is forced through Gcore: no bypass possible via IX
Available as an option on all our offers: VPS, game servers, web hosting, dedicated servers and reseller.
The 200+ Tbps figure is the capacity of Gcore's global network, not a capacity reserved for each server. The filtering profile depends on the service and the network, and YorkHost may change its mitigation providers.
Everything about our Anti-DDoS protectionFAQ - Terraria Servers
Answers to the most common questions about our Terraria servers.
How much RAM does a Terraria server need?
Vanilla Terraria is light: the Copper plan (2 GB) handles a large world with friends. With tModLoader it depends on your mods: around 4 GB (Hellstone) for a few light mods, 6 GB (Hallowed) for Calamity or Thorium and 8 GB (Zenith) for large modpacks. The server mostly uses one core, so RAM is the main thing to size.
How many players can join my Terraria server?
Terraria's maxplayers setting goes up to 255. In practice, we recommend Copper for up to 8 vanilla players, Hellstone for 8 to 16 players, Hallowed for 16 to 32 players and Zenith beyond that or with large modpacks.
Can I run tModLoader and mods like Calamity?
Yes. tModLoader can be installed from the panel or on request through our support team. Mods (Calamity, Thorium, Workshop mods…) go in the server's Mods folder. Every player needs to launch tModLoader, free on Steam for Terraria owners, with the same mods in the same versions; tModLoader usually offers to download missing mods when joining.
What is TShock and what is it for?
TShock is an enhanced vanilla Terraria server: plugins, groups, permissions, player accounts, region protection and moderation tools. It is ideal for public or community servers and works with vanilla clients. It cannot be combined with tModLoader. TShock can be installed from the panel or on request through our support team.
How do I choose the world size and difficulty, or import my world?
In serverconfig.txt, the autocreate setting sets the size of a new world (1 small, 2 medium, 3 large) and difficulty sets the difficulty (0 Classic, 1 Expert, 2 Master, 3 Journey). To keep playing an existing world, upload its .wld file to the worlds folder with the file manager or over SFTP, then point the config to it.
How do I become an admin on my Terraria server?
On vanilla, you run the server from the YorkHost panel console with commands such as kick, ban, save, time, password or motd. With TShock, a setup code appears in the console on first start: type /setup followed by that code in game, then create your owner account to get full permissions.
Can friends on console or mobile join my server?
Our servers are built for PC players (Windows, macOS and Linux). The console and mobile versions of Terraria have their own multiplayer system and are not guaranteed to work with a PC dedicated server, and tModLoader servers are PC-only. If your group plays on console or mobile, contact our support team before ordering.
Are backups included?
Yes, backups are included with every Terraria plan. You create and restore them from the YorkHost panel and can automate them with the task scheduler. We recommend taking one before every game update or mod change.
How fast is my server delivered after ordering?
Your Terraria server is deployed automatically a few minutes after payment. You get access to the YorkHost panel and can invite your friends right away.
