A real community channel with the team in it. Ask for a feature or a new game and it genuinely gets discussed.

Free forever. Here is exactly why that works.

You claim credits - fifteen an hour on the site, up to thirty more in the mobile apps, plus a daily spin. Five credits run one gigabyte for one hour, so a 2 GB Terraria world costs 10 credits an hour. Advertising and Premium members cover the rest of the bill.

And if you're on a tight budget, you might be searching for a free Terraria server hosting.

Some providers offer hosting solutions, but the other platforms often come with limitations and downsides. However, there is a solution for those looking for the best way to host a Terraria server. AxentHost offers free Terraria server hosting that is reliable, stable, and with a lot of features. It is often called the Aternos for Terraria.

05 - TERRARIA FAQ

Terraria hosting questions.

Is the Terraria server really free?

Yes. There is no paid plan you have to reach and no card to enter. You claim credits - fifteen an hour on the site, up to thirty more from the mobile apps, plus a daily spin - and five credits pay for one gigabyte of RAM for one hour. A 2 GB Terraria world therefore costs 10 credits an hour, which your free claims already cover.

How much RAM does a Terraria server need?

2 GB is comfortable for a small group on Terraria. Bigger maps, more players or heavy mods want more. You can go up to 16 GB whenever your credits allow, and back down again afterwards.

How many players can join?

As many as you like. We never sell player slots, so the only real limit is how much RAM the world is running on.

Are mods and plugins supported?

Whatever the game itself supports. Pick the variant when you create the server or swap it later from the panel, then drop your files in through the file manager.

Can I upload an existing world?

Yes. Stop the server, upload your save in the file manager, set it as the active world in the config and start again. Your builds and progress come with you.

Does the server stay online when I log off?

It runs for as long as you have credits. It does not go to sleep because the last player left, so your friends can hop on whenever they want.

Where are the servers located?

Europe and North America. Pick whichever continent most of your group lives on when you deploy.

What does Premium add?

No ads, twenty-five credits in a single hourly claim, a spin every twelve hours instead of twenty-four, up to three servers per game, SFTP for bulk uploads, and teams of ten. The hardware is identical either way.

It works great. The website is very clean and user friendly and it was really easy to set up the server. Exactly what you want to find when you're no expert. Devs should take notes. Discord server and YouTube channel also active and helpful.

They do hourly service which is great, I have a garrys mod community where I run events every 2 weeks based on what the community wants, and instead of paying for a machine for an entire month, I can just open and shut whenever I want my server. It is great because I only need 5 hours max to setup the server based on voted gamemode and then the 2 hours event time that we play. Literally costs me not even 1 euro per month. Plus they give you enough free credits that stacks and you can host servers for free.
