What does Valheim server hosting on WebJi® include?
Valheim server hosting at WebJi® is an India-located KVM VPS with full root, on which the official Valheim dedicated server runs around the clock. Your world stays online when the host's PC is switched off, saves land on NVMe storage, and the bill is in rupees with 18% GST.
It is built for Indian Viking groups who have outgrown in-game hosting: a clan of five to ten friends, a modded community on BepInEx and ValheimPlus, or players split between Jio, Airtel and BSNL connections who are tired of a European server. The general game server hosting page covers other titles.
- Machine: KVM VPS with dedicated vCPU and RAM, not a shared game panel.
- Access: root over SSH, so SteamCMD, mods and cron jobs are under your control.
- Storage: NVMe SSD for faster world loads and shorter save stutter.
- Help: the support team can install the server and hand you the join details.
How much RAM and CPU does a Valheim server need?
A vanilla ten-player Valheim world runs comfortably on 4 GB of RAM and two dedicated cores; a modded BepInEx world needs 6–8 GB. Memory is the deciding number because the world, its loaded dungeons and every connected Viking live in RAM, while disk size barely matters.
| World type | RAM | vCPU | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vanilla, 2–5 players | 4 GB | 2 | Plenty of headroom for large bases |
| Vanilla, full 10 players | 4 GB | 2 | Practical floor; add RAM if many players explore apart |
| Light mods (QoL, ValheimPlus) | 6 GB | 2–4 | Each plugin adds memory |
| Heavy BepInEx content packs | 8 GB | 4 | New biomes, creatures and items load into memory |
Ten players is the default cap of the official server. Plan headroom for mods rather than extra slots.
What does a Valheim server cost in India?
Valheim VPS configurations are sized per group and quoted in INR before 18% GST; WebJi®'s India VPS range starts at ₹499 a month. Pick the sample closest to your world and open a quote ticket; the price is shown before you pay.
| Sample configuration | Specs | Best for | Order |
|---|---|---|---|
| Valheim-Vanilla | 4 GB RAM · 2 vCPU · NVMe · 2 TB transfer | Standard ten-player world, no or light mods | Get Custom Quote → |
| Valheim-Modded | 8 GB RAM · 4 vCPU · NVMe · 4 TB transfer | BepInEx and ValheimPlus worlds, bigger mod packs | Get Custom Quote → |
Billing is monthly with a GST invoice. Split the cost among the group: ten players sharing a plan pay a tenth each.
How to set up a Valheim dedicated server on the VPS
Install SteamCMD, download the Valheim Dedicated Server (Steam app 896660) anonymously, open UDP ports 2456–2458, and start it with your world name and password. On Ubuntu the core commands are:
steamcmd +force_install_dir /home/steam/valheim +login anonymous +app_update 896660 validate +quit
sudo ufw allow 2456:2458/udp
cd /home/steam/valheim
./valheim_server.x86_64 -name "Desi Vikings" -port 2456 -world "Midgard" -password "s3cretaxe" -public 0- Order a Linux VPS and log in over SSH as a non-root user such as
steam. - Run the SteamCMD line above; re-run it after every game patch to update.
- Open the three UDP ports in the firewall.
- Start the server with a password of at least five characters that does not contain the server name.
- Run it under systemd or
screenso it survives your SSH session closing. - Share the IP and port 2456 with your group; they join through the Steam server browser or "Join IP".
The full walk-through, including a systemd unit, is in the Valheim dedicated server setup guide. Prefer not to touch a terminal? Email support@webji.services and the team stands it up for you.
Moving your existing Valheim world from a PC
Your world is two files, WorldName.fwl and WorldName.db, and copying both to the server keeps every base and boss kill. On Windows they sit in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local.
Send the pair to support with your ticket and the team loads the world, starts the server and tests a join before you invite the group. World migration is free with hosting plans, subject to terms. Start the server with the same -world name as the files, or Valheim generates a fresh map.
Fixing Valheim lag and protecting the world
Most Valheim lag comes from RAM pressure or one player's weak upload hosting the area's physics, not from the network. Upgrade RAM first if memory use sits near the limit, and keep players with poor connections out of busy build zones.
- Before any mod update — copy the world files; a broken mod is the most common way a world is lost.
- Daily backups — a cron job can copy
.fwland.dbto off-site storage, or add a managed VPS backup plan. - Game patches — update the server and clients together; a version mismatch blocks every join.
- Attacks on a public server — keep
-public 0for private clans, or add DDoS protection if you list it.
Valheim VPS vs hosting from your PC or a European server
A Valheim VPS in India beats both alternatives for an Indian group: unlike a home PC it never sleeps, and unlike a European host it keeps ping short.
| Option | World online when host is offline | Typical ping from Indian metros | Mod control |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-game hosting from your PC | No | Depends on the host's home upload | Full, on that PC |
| European game host | Yes | 120–200 ms | Varies by panel |
| WebJi® India VPS | Yes, 24/7 | 10–50 ms | Full root |
Running several games for the same group? A larger Linux VPS can host Valheim alongside a Minecraft server if RAM allows.
Frequently asked questions
Which ports does a Valheim server use?
The server listens on the port you pass with -port, 2456 by default, and uses the next ports too, so open UDP 2456–2458 in the VPS firewall. Players connect to the IP with port 2456.
Can Xbox and Game Pass players join my Valheim server?
Yes, if you start the server with the -crossplay flag. Valheim then prints a join code that Xbox and PC Game Pass players enter in the game. Steam players can still join by IP. Without the flag, only Steam clients can connect.
Can a Valheim server hold more than ten players?
Not with the official server, which caps a world at ten. Community mods can raise the limit, but each extra Viking adds memory and network load, so size the VPS at 8 GB or more and test before inviting a larger group.
Can friends keep playing when I am offline?
Yes. The world runs on the VPS, not your PC, so anyone with the password can log in, build and fight while you are at work. Everyone needs a legitimate copy of Valheim on Steam or, with crossplay, on Xbox or Game Pass.
How do I pay for a Valheim server?
Through WebJi® billing in INR, monthly, with 18% GST on the invoice. There is no annual lock-in, so a group can run the server for one season and cancel. Ask for the quote first; the price is shown before you pay.
