Sons of the Forest Server Hosting
Always-online Sons of the Forest co-op servers with persistent saves, password support, and low-ping hosting for up to 8 survivors.
Survive Together, Anytime
Run a dedicated Sons of the Forest server so your group can jump in without coordinating schedules. Up to 8 players can connect at once, the supported co-op ceiling for the game.
Your Save, Persistent & Backed Up
Your island progress lives on the server, not someone's gaming PC. dedicatedserver.cfg controls autosave interval, game mode, and which save slot loads, and automatic backups protect your base between cannibal raids.
Low-Ping Hosting
Pick a region close to your group for smoother combat and building. Sons of the Forest is co-op survival, but lag still hurts when things get tense.
