Read our reviews on TrustpilotTop 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!

What is Sons of the Forest
Sons of the Forest is Endnight Games' follow-up to The Forest, and it arrived as one of the defining co-op survival-horror games of the Early Access era. Crash-land on an eerie, cannibal-infested island, scavenge, build a base that can actually stand up to the night, and try to survive long enough to piece the story together. The game left Early Access with its 1.0 release in February 2024 and Endnight have kept pushing patches since. We've been hosting SotF servers since the servers-enabled patch in mid-2023, and honestly it's one of the cleaner dedicated-server experiences in the survival-horror space. Up to 8 players can drop into a persistent cluster, the save format is portable (upload your local save and pick up where you left off), and the server binary is light enough that everyone gets a responsive experience without us throwing expensive hardware at it. Our plans run on the same stack as our Palworld and Valheim servers – enterprise hardware, the Latest CPU upgrade option for Ryzen 7950X/9950X if you want guaranteed silicon, DDoS protection, automated cloud backups, and a control panel that actually shows you what your server is doing. Whether you're running a small 4-player group through the story or an 8-slot public community, the same tooling covers it.
Money-back Guarantee
We are confident that you'll be happy with our service. If on the rare occasion there is a problem with your service, we will do our absolute best to get things working for you, or you can simply ask for your money back.
We have a full 5 day money-back guarantee on all our game server hosting. No questions asked.
