Build bigger. Explore deeper. Fight together. Your Terraria world is waiting.
There’s nothing quite like starting a fresh Terraria world with friends. One minute you’re chopping down trees and building your first shelter. The next, you’re exploring dangerous caverns, battling enormous bosses, and turning a humble wooden house into a sprawling fortress.
And it’s even better when everyone can share the adventure.
Terraria server hosting is now available to everyone on MaximusHost!
Whether you’re gathering a few friends for weekend adventures or building a persistent world for your entire community, MaximusHost gives you the tools to create, customize, and manage your own Terraria server.
Your World. Your Rules. Your Adventure.
Every Terraria adventure starts somewhere. On MaximusHost, you decide where yours begins.
Create a brand-new world, choose your difficulty, select your world size, and decide what kind of challenges await your group.
Want a relaxed world where friends can build elaborate bases and explore at their own pace? Go for it.
Looking for tougher enemies, dangerous bosses, and a real test of teamwork? Turn up the difficulty.
Your server is yours to shape, and your world is ready whenever you decide to jump back in.
Powerful Server Management Without the Headaches
Running a Terraria server shouldn’t require becoming a server administrator.
MaximusHost brings essential management tools together in one dashboard, making it easier to spend less time configuring and more time playing.
Here’s what you can do:
Customize Your Experience
Adjust server settings, manage your world, and fine-tune your multiplayer experience without digging through complicated configuration files.
Expand Your Server with TShock Plugins
Take advantage of TShock’s server-side plugin ecosystem to customize how your community plays.
Manage compatible plugins directly through MaximusHost, including uploading, enabling, disabling, and maintaining your installed plugins.
Protect Everything You’ve Built
Nobody wants to lose a castle, rare collection, or hundreds of hours of progress.
With world-management tools and full-server backups, you can preserve your creations, restore previous states, and transfer supported Terraria world files.
Keep Your Community Under Control
Monitor player activity, manage access, and use available moderation tools to help keep your server running smoothly.
Play on Your Schedule
Start your server when you’re ready to play, stop it when you’re finished, and manage everything from your MaximusHost dashboard.
Your Terraria adventure should be about exploring the world, not wrestling with the server.
Hosting That Fits How You Play
Not every Terraria group needs a server running around the clock.
Maybe your friends get together for a few hours every Friday. Maybe you’re building a long-term world that players visit throughout the week.
With MaximusHost’s Discord Bot, anyone you choose can start and stop the server straight from your channel. With the Auto-Idle Shutdown active, an empty server will stop when inactive. These enhancements work together to maximize game server usage with cost efficiency.
Our Terraria hosting page includes monthly cost examples for casual play and 24/7 hosting, so you can compare different play styles.
New Terraria servers have a one-time 50-credit creation fee. Runtime costs depend on your selected resources and usage, and storage may continue to incur charges while your server is stopped.
No need to guess what your server might cost. Check the live calculator and choose the configuration that works for you.

The Adventure Is Yours

We’re excited to bring that experience to MaximusHost and give players another way to build worlds, bring communities together, and make memories with friends.
The only question left is: what will you build first?
