best place to rent valheim server

My friend and I would like to rent a server so that he get on and play even when i'm not on as I'm usually the one starting the game.

i see multiple places to rent from, but what is the general consensus on which is best, and I want to fully mod it like we use everyday.

Its just the two of us so I don't know if that's any cheaper

Thanks all

Nitrado arent bad. Quite cheap and really fast customer support on the off chance something stuffs up. Had desync issues when H&H was released so I contacted the customer support which can take 24 hours to respond; I had a response and a solution within the hour. Other than that I believe Gportal is also a solid choice.

Do not rent. Just learn to host it on your own computer... ESPECIALLY if you want to mod it.

The server i'm on right now has no mods but it's dedicated and very stable, and that's all that really matters to me.

Just go to pingperfect.com. They are cheap and will have you up and running in no time. I rented there for 3 months for $37. You can mod, backup, upload local maps, do everything you want.

You can rent a dedicated server or a vps, you can find some really cheap ones that are more than enough to run a small game like valheim. As a bonus you're then not limited to valheim you can put whatever you want on it

Like a teamspeak / mumble server for the people playing with you.

I've had a solid experience with Gportal on this. Only issue so far that I've had is one time recently a rack fried at the datacenter and took a good 12 hours to replace. Other than that, no issues, plus support's really responsive via ticket.

Doesn’t the game already make you create a server when you first start or am I missing something? Either you create or join one no?

Nah, you can do wholly single-player too.

That’s what I do, but it still is a server no? I mean I can choose to make it public and people can join it if I’m not mistaken? So what’s the difference between renting a server and just creating one via the game?

The rented server would be dedicated, meaning it's up 24/7. The hosted game on a local PC would end as soon as the host disconnected -- all other users' sessions would end.
