About the game

What is a Sons of the Forest server?

Sons of the Forest is a co-op survival horror game: you crash on a remote island, scavenge for gear, build bases log by log and fight off mutants and cannibals, alone or with up to 7 friends. A Sons of the Forest server is a dedicated server that keeps this shared island running, so your group's world, bases and progress stay online even when the original host logs off.

With SotF dedicated server hosting you decide when the world is up, who gets in and which save runs. Set a password and game mode in the panel, upload your existing multiplayer save and let friends join whenever they have time. There's no port forwarding and no PC running all night, and your price depends on package, term and location, not player slots.

Why a dedicated server

Dedicated server vs. peer-to-peer

In peer-to-peer play the world closes when the host quits. A dedicated server keeps the island online, with no port forwarding and no PC running 24/7.

Your island, always online

Bring your crew back to the island.
