Sons of the Forest Server Hosting, Explained
New to Sons of the Forest?
What is Sons of the Forest?
Sons of the Forest is an open-world survival horror game from Endnight Games, the makers of The Forest. Sent to find a missing billionaire on a remote island, you land in a cannibal-infested hellscape. You gather logs, sticks and food, craft weapons, and build anything from a small cabin to a sea-side compound. The seasons change as you play, and as winter rolls in, food gets scarce for you and for everything hunting you. Survive alone, or with up to seven friends.
Build and Craft.
Cut logs, raise walls and build your base where you want it.
Survive Together.
Share items, build defenses and explore the caves as a group.
Why rent a server?
What is Sons of the Forest Server Hosting?
When one player hosts, the island runs on their PC and closes when they leave. A dedicated server runs it on its own, so anyone in your group can log in whenever they like, and nobody needs a spare PC left on or a router to set up. We install the server for you on NVMe storage, protect it from DDoS attacks, and give you its game mode, save slots and world settings in our panel, and its files over SFTP and SSH.
Always-On World.
The island is there whenever anyone in your group logs in.
Full Control.
Set the game mode, password and Custom rules, and resize the server when your base grows.
