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
Sons of the Forest supports up to 8 players, and its dedicated server is fairly modest to run. Plan for roughly 4GB of RAM for a small group, moving toward 8GB for a full lobby of eight survivors with sprawling bases and plenty of world edits. 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.
