Hosting Servers

Hi guys,
Me and my friends got the game and were wondering how to host servers.
We have not done any server hosting before, Looking to find a guide to how to host servers on my PC or rent one

We are from India, sharing if there are people in the location that have used external hosting to help better

This is how the menu looks when you start and continue a game.

To host a game for you and your friends, simply check the "Start Server" button when you start a new or continue a game, and in the grey field at the bottom you input whatever password you want on your server.

Note: If you have the game on Steam and any of your friends have the game on Windows Store, Game Pass or some other platform, you need to check the "Crossplay" button as well for them to be able to join you, this will require you to add a password.

Then all you have to do is click Start and once you are ingame your friends can join.

It should look like this when you are ready to start.
