Necesse Server Hosting

Why LOW.MS?

Below are a few reasons why LOW.MS is the ideal place to host your game server.

Settlements that keep producing

Villagers farm, mine and craft on server time. We ship the template with the pause-when-empty setting off, which is the difference between a world that works overnight and one that does not.

One of the cheapest worlds to run

Necesse is light on resources compared to most survival games, so a permanent world costs very little to keep online.

Bring your existing world

Upload the save you have been playing solo and carry on with your group from exactly where you left it.

Mods managed from the panel

Everyone needs a matching mod set. Keeping the server as the source of truth saves a lot of arguing before a session.

Automatic backups

Scheduled backups and restore from the panel, because a boss fight gone wrong should not end a world.

Locations near your players

Datacenters across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific, so your group shares one low ping world.

Automatic Cloud Backups

Your Necesse worlds, settings and mod configuration are backed up to the cloud automatically. Keep up to 20 backups per server and lock the ones that matter so they are never cleared to make room.

From the Backups tab in the LOW.MS control panel you can restore any backup in one click, download a copy to your PC, or take a manual backup before a big change.

Top choice in my list

Out of all hosting providers. This is by far the top choice in my list. Simple UI with a mod manager included making it hassle-free when downloading specific mods.

Jose, Trustpilot review

Very helpful and responsive

I opened a ticket for help migrating my server from a different host. The game is Palworld and it isn't a simple process, they did it for me! Very helpful and responsive.

Justin, Trustpilot review

Insanely reliable service

Their prices are pretty cheap and I thought they'd cut back on performance but damn was I wrong. The service has been insanely reliable and the Support Team are on their own level!

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Necesse server hosting.

Yes, with two conditions that are worth knowing up front. The server config has a pause-when-empty setting that stops the world completely when the last player disconnects, and it is on by default, so a stock server does nothing overnight. We will ship our template with it turned off. Separately, a settlement only starts producing once a player has visited it since the world loaded, so after a server restart somebody needs to drop in on it. Do both and your villagers genuinely work on server time.

What is Necesse

Necesse is a top down survival sandbox that quietly does an enormous amount: procedural worlds, mining and crafting, settlement building with recruited villagers, bosses that gate progression, and a full co-op campaign. It reads like Terraria at a glance and plays more like a colony sim with a sword in your hand. Settlements are the reason to host it properly. Your villagers farm, mine and craft on server time rather than yours, so a world that stays online keeps producing between your sessions. Two things worth knowing before you buy on that promise, because most hosting pages skip them: the server has a setting that pauses the world entirely when nobody is connected, and it ships switched on, so we will ship our template with it disabled. And a settlement needs a player to have visited it since the world loaded before its workers pick up, which in practice means once after each restart. Necesse is light on resources, which makes it one of the cheapest persistent worlds you can run. We are templating it now, with world management, config editing, automatic backups and mod installation from the panel. Watch this page for the order button.
