Saved Before It Stops
When you stop or restart the server, it saves the world first, so your towns, trade and progress are there when you come back. Type commands in the console and they go straight to the server, like a save whenever you want one.

New to Windward?
What is Windward?
Windward is an action-filled multiplayer sandbox from Tasharen Entertainment that puts you in control of a ship sailing the high seas of a large, procedurally generated world. Trade with towns that grow as you supply them, take on quests, fight pirates and build your faction's reputation. Fast Schooners are made for exploring, while massive Ships of the Line bring the firepower.
Sail and Trade.
Carry goods between towns and watch them grow, unlocking better ships and upgrades.
Fight Pirates.
The further you sail from home, the tougher the enemies and the better the loot.
Why rent a server?
What is Windward Server Hosting?
Hosting from the game means your world is only open while you play. A dedicated server keeps it online around the clock, so your crew can sail together or on their own whenever they like. With Physgun it installs in minutes, with the server name, world, public listing and admin Steam IDs in the startup settings, a console that takes your commands, and backups, schedules, subusers and full file access over SFTP.
Always-On World.
Your world stays online, so friends can join whenever they like.
Public or Private.
Show your server in the public lobby, or keep it for your crew.
Questions, answered
Straight answers before you order. Still stuck? Real people are here around the clock.
Physgun
Yes. Your world runs on our server, not on your PC, so friends can sail in it any time.
Yes. The server saves the world before it stops, so a restart never costs your crew their progress.
Yes. Turn on Public Server and it shows in the game's public server list. Leave it off to keep it to your crew.
Yes, to any Gamebox game your box can run. A switch reinstalls the server, so the panel offers to take a backup first, and if the new game needs more CPU, memory or storage, upgrade your box before you switch. A switch that moves your server to another machine changes its IP address.
Yes. You can set up a backup schedule in the panel, and secure backup storage is included in every Physgun server!
Yes. Every Physgun server is protected from DDoS attacks.
Yes. Pick Chicago in the US or London in the UK, whichever is closer to your crew.
Yes. Every server has a 3 day refund guarantee.
