Explore Sons of the Forest Server Features
A tour of what comes with every Sons of the Forest server, and how it all works in the control panel.
INSTANT SETUP
Get your Sons of the Forest server online in minutes with our streamlined deployment process. No technical expertise required - select your settings and we'll automatically configure your world. Your survival group can start exploring and building immediately.
Our automated system handles all the technical setup, from server initialization to performance optimization. Whether you're hosting a small private co-op session or running a full 8-player survival experience, your Sons of the Forest server will be ready for survivors in under 10 minutes.
AUTOMATIC BACKUPS
Protect your Sons of the Forest server data with our automatic backup system. Your base constructions, story progress, companion relationships, and all server configurations are regularly backed up to prevent any loss from crashes, corruption, or mutant attacks gone wrong.
Restoring a backup is simple - select your desired backup from the control panel and click restore. Whether you need to recover from server issues or roll back after testing new configurations, your Sons of the Forest server is always protected with customizable backup schedules.
DDOS PROTECTION
Keep your Sons of the Forest server safe from attacks and unauthorized access. We've implemented enterprise-grade security measures to protect your server and player data, ensuring uninterrupted survival horror gameplay for your group.
Our infrastructure includes advanced DDoS protection on all plans, capable of mitigating high-volume attacks without affecting server performance. Your survivors can focus on exploring the island and surviving mutants instead of worrying about server security or downtime from malicious attacks.
FULL CUSTOMIZATION & MOD SUPPORT
Take complete control of your Sons of the Forest server with full SFTP access and comprehensive customization options. Configure difficulty settings, adjust enemy spawn rates, customize seasonal parameters, and fine-tune every aspect of your survival horror experience. Install mods via Thunderstore and BepInEx to add new features and customization options.
Our control panel makes it easy to manage server settings and edit configuration files without technical knowledge. Whether you're running a casual survival experience or hardcore horror gameplay, our 24/7 support team is always available to help optimize your Sons of the Forest hosting.
CUSTOM SUBDOMAINS
Every server gets a free yourname.wabbanode.com address, so nobody has to remember an IP and port. Change it whenever you like from the panel.
SERVER SPLITTING
Divide one plan into several smaller servers. Run a lobby and a survival world, or two different games, off the RAM you already pay for.
GAME SWITCHING
Swap your server to any game we host from the panel. Your plan stays the same, so a Minecraft server can become a Rust server next month without buying another.
DATABASES
Create MySQL databases from the panel for plugins, economies and stats. Credentials are generated for you and ready to paste into a config.
24/7 SUPPORT
Real people on live chat and tickets around the clock, replying in under five minutes on average. They play these games too.
AUTOMATIC CRASH DETECTION
If your server goes down, it comes straight back. A watchdog spots the crash, restarts the server and logs what happened.
One control panel to manage
every game server
Running a game server with your friends should be easy. That's why we built our own panel around simple, powerful tools that make sense the first time you open them.
Server locations around the world

What is Sons of the Forest?
Sons of the Forest is a survival horror sequel with 88% Very Positive Steam reviews that expands on everything from the original. Sent to find a missing billionaire on a remote island, you'll survive against cannibalistic mutants with the help of AI companions - Kelvin, a deaf soldier who gathers resources and builds on command, and Virginia, a mysterious three-armed mutant who becomes a powerful ally. The game features a 4x larger map than The Forest, dynamic seasonal weather affecting survival strategy, and 3D printing technology in bunkers for crafting arrows, masks, and ziplines. Build elaborate bases with an intuitive construction system, explore terrifying caves, and uncover multiple story endings with voice acting from Shawn Ashmore.
Running your own Sons of the Forest server gives you complete control over your survival horror experience. Host up to 8 players in cooperative gameplay where your team builds bases, commands AI companions, and survives together through all four seasons. Configure server settings to customize difficulty, save management, and gameplay parameters. Build persistent worlds where your constructions and story progress carry across sessions. With full server access and hardware optimized for Sons of the Forest's detailed world, you can host smooth multiplayer sessions. Our automatic backups protect your world data and progress.
Best Sons of the Forest server hosting
Surviving a cannibal-infested island is far less terrifying with friends watching your back, and a Sons of the Forest dedicated server keeps your co-op world running even when you log off. Instead of relying on a host who has to stay online, you can host a Sons of the Forest server with friends that stays up 24/7, preserving your bases, story progress, and hard-won gear. Wabbanode makes Sons of the Forest server hosting quick to launch and smooth to play.
What your Sons of the Forest server needs
For Sons of the Forest we suggest 4 GB for up to 4 players and 6 GB for up to 8 players, the same sizes the plan picker above recommends. A modern multi-core CPU handles the AI companions, seasonal weather, and physics well, and NVMe SSD storage keeps saves and world loading fast. Building large structures and long play sessions grow your save files over time, so leave storage headroom and lean toward the higher end of the RAM range for busy servers.
Co-op survival, your way
The dedicated server lets your whole team build, explore caves, and command AI companions Kelvin and Virginia together across all four seasons. Full server access means you control save management and difficulty settings, so your island runs exactly how your group likes it.
Powered by Wabbanode
Every Sons of the Forest server runs on AMD Ryzen 9 hardware with NVMe storage, always-on DDoS protection, and free automatic backups to safeguard your world. Setup is instant, and our support team is available 24/7.
