V Rising Rent a server

PvE has your group fighting NPCs together while exploring the world, PvP opens up combat between players too — including castle raids. You lock in the mode when creating the server, and switching later only takes a restart.

A smaller group of up to 10 people is fine with 4 GB. Pushing all 40 slots, plan for 8 GB.

No, manual and scheduled backups are set up — you control the schedule from the dashboard, and older saves can be restored any time.

Yes, server name, password, player cap, RCON, and every preset are adjustable from the dashboard — changes take effect after the next restart.

Yes, each person needs V Rising on Steam individually. Your server, meanwhile, keeps running continuously, so you can hop on whenever time allows.

V Rising allows BepInEx mods on your dedicated server. Upload them via the file manager into the BepInEx plugins folder — popular Nexus Mods community extensions add new vampire abilities, adjusted drop rates, or quality-of-life improvements. Note: all players need the same mods installed.

Every mcfreehost server ships with its own address such as yourserver.mc.mcfreehost.com right from the start. Rename it anytime from the dashboard — no ticket required.

Monitoring and database add-ons — Uptime Kuma, MariaDB, phpMyAdmin, Game Server Watcher — never carry a surcharge. For music and chat bots, the first slot you activate is included; every additional bot is billed on top, and the dashboard shows the exact cost before you switch it on.

Typical initial setup: about 3 minutes. Queues or large installations can take longer. Larger Steam installs can take a bit longer depending on the game.

No — you are on a subscription that renews monthly, and you can cancel it from the dashboard whenever you like; the same goes for turning off automatic renewal.

Yes. All game servers run in German data centres (Falkenstein and Limburg) connected to the major German exchanges — low pings for players across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and solid latency for the rest of Europe.

The best provider is the one that shows you what you get before you pay: RAM, slots, location, price and cancellation terms. Here the price and resources are visible in the configurator before checkout, there is no minimum term and setup is automated — feel free to compare that with other offers.

Self-hosting costs power, time and a machine that runs around the clock; port forwarding, updates and backups are on you. A rented server is online within minutes, keeps running when your PC is off, and updates, DDoS protection and backups are included. For one or two friends on a single evening self-hosting is often fine — for a persistent world, renting pays off.
