Guide

Windrose server hosting: choosing and configuring your server

Windrose, the pirate survival game developed by Kraken Express and published by Pocketpair, has been in Early Access since April 14, 2026. Renting a Windrose server keeps your world online around the clock for the whole crew, without tying up the host's PC. Here's how to pick the right plan.

Which plan is right for your crew?

On Windrose, RAM is what matters most. The developers recommend around 8 GB for 2 players, 12 GB for 4 players and 16 GB for a full crew of 8. Our plans follow the same tiers:

  • Deckhand 3 vCores · 8 GBDuo or small group of 1 to 2 players.
  • Quartermaster 4 vCores · 12 GBCrew of 3 to 4 players, our most popular plan.
  • Captain 4 vCores · 16 GBFull crew of 5 to 8 players.
  • Admiral 6 vCores · 24 GB8 players with large bases and plenty of headroom.

You can upgrade to a bigger plan from your client area whenever your crew grows.

A RAM-hungry dedicated server

The official Windrose dedicated server keeps the world and your players' builds in memory, so the bigger your bases, the more RAM it uses. On the CPU side, 2 to 4 fast cores are enough, which is why our plans favor RAM over vCores. We take care of the whole technical setup for you.

NVMe storage speeds up world loading and saving, and your players connect with the server's invite code, with no ports to open at home.

Early Access: updates and settings

The game gets regular updates during Early Access, and your server must run the same version as your players. Take a backup before each update so you can roll back if anything goes wrong.

Server name, maximum player count (MaxPlayerCount, capped at 8 for now) and other settings live in the configuration files. Edit them from the file manager or over SFTP, then restart the server to apply them.

Wisp panel, backups and support

You manage your server from the Wisp panel: real-time console, file manager, SFTP access, backups and a task scheduler for automatic restarts or backups.

Hosted in France, protected by Gcore Anti-DDoS and connected to a 10 Gbps network, your server is set up automatically within minutes of payment. Our team answers 7 days a week on Discord.

FAQ

FAQ - Windrose Servers

Everything you need to know about our Windrose servers.

Windrose is memory-hungry. The developers recommend around 8 GB for 2 players, 12 GB for 4 players and 16 GB for 8 players. Our Deckhand (8 GB), Quartermaster (12 GB) and Captain (16 GB) plans follow these tiers, and Admiral (24 GB) adds headroom for large bases.

The official Windrose dedicated server currently supports up to 8 players. This limit is set by the game and may change during Early Access. Pick your plan based on your crew size: 1-2 players for Deckhand, 3-4 for Quartermaster, 5-8 for Captain.

The Windrose dedicated server uses an invite code: share it with your friends so they can join your world from the game. There are no ports to open on your router. If you can't find the code, our support team will help you get it.

Yes. Your Windrose server is set up automatically within minutes of payment, with the official dedicated server already installed. You get access to the Wisp panel and can invite your crew straight away.

Settings such as the server name or the maximum player count (MaxPlayerCount) live in the server's configuration files. Edit them from the Wisp panel's file manager or over SFTP, then restart the server to apply them.

Yes, backups are included with every Windrose plan. From the Wisp panel you can create and restore backups in a few clicks and automate them with the task scheduler. We recommend taking one before every game update.

Windrose is updated regularly during Early Access, and your server must run the same version as your players' game. Take a backup, then update your server from the Wisp panel. If in doubt, our support team is on Discord 7 days a week.

We install the official dedicated server without mods. You still get full file access (file manager and SFTP) if you want to try a server-compatible mod. Early Access updates can break compatibility, so always take a backup first.

Our Windrose servers are designed for the PC (Steam) version of the game. We can't guarantee compatibility with other platforms, so if your group doesn't play on PC, please contact our support team before ordering.
