Terraria server requirements
What the server needs before you pick a size. 2 GB of RAM is the minimum.
- RAM
- 2 GB minimum. Every extra gigabyte is $1 a month and can be added or removed later without a reinstall.
- CPU
- Light. A world with hundreds of NPCs and active events still fits on one core.
- Disk
- World files are a few hundred megabytes at most.
- Ports
- One TCP port, assigned for you.
- Mods and plugins
- tModLoader servers take mods from the Workshop; players need the same mods enabled. Vanilla servers take none.
- Your existing world
- Upload a .wld file to the worlds folder and select it in the settings; characters stay on the players' own PCs.
How to make a Terraria server
A dedicated Terraria server means your world stays online even when the host logs off. No more waiting for the host to get home.
- 1
Create your server
Start the free 7-day trial (no credit card) or pick a plan. 2 GB covers a normal world with a handful of players. Then hit Create Server in the panel, choose Terraria and your region, and the server installs itself. Your server's address and port appear on the server page as soon as it's up.
- 2
Shape your world
Pick world size, difficulty and a server password from the Settings tab. The world generates on first boot; upload an existing .wld through the file manager if you'd rather continue an old world.

Join the server
In Terraria choose Multiplayer → Join via IP, enter the address and port from your server page, and the password if you set one.
What the panel hands you

- Backups
- Daily, with one-click restore and a backup you can take by hand before a risky change.

What a Terraria server costs
You pay for RAM, not for the title: a server slot is $2.50 a month with 1 GB and 30 GB of storage, and every gigabyte after that is $1. A year is ten months. The same subscription runs Terraria today and anything else we host tomorrow.

Who can join
The honest version, so nobody buys a server their friends cannot reach.
Platforms
PC on Steam and GOG. Mobile players can join a PC dedicated server by IP; consoles cannot.
Crossplay
PC and mobile share a server. Xbox, PlayStation and Switch play on their own servers only.
Regions and latency
Pick Europe or North America when you create the server. North America has nodes on the east coast and the west coast, Europe in the west, all on NVMe storage with DDoS protection in front. Players on the same continent as the server see 20 to 60 ms, which Terraria handles well; a group split across the Atlantic should host where most of them are. Changing region later is a backup, a new server in the other region, and a restore.
